Warning about Apple OS 10.6 Snow Leopard!

In Apple OS 10.6, a change was made to the default setting that determines how pictures and video are displayed on video projectors. If you have a Mac computer running Apple OS 10.6 and find that on the projector, your pictures or video appear too dark or the colors are not reproduced correctly (while everything else looks fine), please contact us. The fix is very easy and can be performed over the phone.

Warning about computers with HDMI Ports!

Some new laptop computers do not have a VGA video port, instead they have a HDMI port. This HDMI port is not compatible with most of our AV systems. Some of our classrooms can accept a computer with an HDMI port, with the correct adapter. More information here.  If you are not using a room with a Digital Laptop Input, and your computer has only a HDMI port you will NOT be able to use it with the video projector in our classrooms! Because of the nature of the HDMI port, there is not a simple or inexpensive solution for analog systems. Please contact us with any questions.

Below is a HDMI port. This port can NOT be used with most of our audio/visual systems!

The rooms included in these web pages are General Assignment Classrooms, meaning  they are managed by the Space Management Office but scheduled by Curricular Services (262-6345). There are many other Instructional Technology classrooms that are departmentally controlled and are not included in these web pages.
