VGA
- Locate the 15pin VGA cable in the room.
- Connect your laptop, using the cable, into the PC IN input jack. If using Computer Audio, please also connect the 1/8” stereo mini connector to both your laptop and the wall jack. If you are using a Mac laptop, you will need to provide your own VGA adapter, as Classroom Technology Services does not provide Mac adapters.
PC IN input is located on the North wall of the classroom, at the bottom right hand side of the input panel.
- Turn on your laptop.
- On the Crestron control panel, choose the VGA input button. Even if this button is already lit, deselect and then reselect it now.

- On the Crestron control panel, choose the HDMI input button. Even if this button is already lit, deselect and then reselect it now.
Both video and audio pass through the HDMI cable, so you will not be required to plug in a separate cable for audio.

This classroom is not readily equipped for VHS projection. If you require projection of a VHS video tape, please contact Classroom Technology Services at (617) 353-3227.
DVD PROJECTION
