The Ethernet/Network cable goes into the female port that looks like a large telephone connection.

Adjust Laptop Settings

Set your laptop resolution to one of the following

...

  • VGA w/ mini plug audio (analog)
  • HDMI w/ mini plug audio (analog)
  • HDMI w/ digital audio (embedded)

Recommend method is - HDMI w/ digital audio   

 

Locate the cables on the desk and choose  
how you want to connect your laptop. VGA or HDMI?  
This decision will be based on what connection your 
laptop has.  
 
If your laptop has an HDMI port or can be adapted to then use the HDMI cable only.             
Newer PC and Mac laptops may have an HDMI, mini-display port or display port. The later two can be adapted to HDMI.
Older laptops will have VGA or require VGA adapters. 
Mac laptops manufactured after April 2010 support digital audio output via the mini-display port which when paired
with the correct adapter means only the HDMI cable is needed. 
Older Mac laptops will need to use the Mini Audio Plug for the sound. 

Mac users see Step 4 for more details 

Mini-display port adapters can be acquired from Technology Services  
or Equipment Checkout in BMC 5.104 and CMA 3.102.

 

Touch the screen to wake the system up and choose                          
LAPTOP as the source.

 

Choose the input method that corresponds to the cables                     
that you used to connect your laptop.

...

If you do not see Crestron (HDMI) as an option under the output tab,  you will need to use the Mini Plug Audio for your sound.

How to change the Audio Output on your Mac laptop

You will only need to change this setting the very first time you connect your laptop to a classroom AV system

Click on the Apple icon and 
go down to System Preferences        


From the Hardware menu choose Sound

Click on the Output tab and choose
