HDMI is used with laptops that don’t have USB-C connections and for media players that can play Blu-ray discs or DVDs.
If you are using an HDMI cord for your laptop, it is recommended that you plug your laptop power adapter into the user power outlet near the top of the podium, which is usually right around here (Green Arrow).
This outlet is also useful if you have a portable Blu-ray player that can play DVDs or Blu-ray movies. Note, the podium outlets only power on when you login with your AV Passcode.
So now that you are logged in, all you do is take the HDMI cable that is by the Touch panel and plug it into the HDMI port of your Windows PC. And then on the Touch Panel, press the HDMI button to activate the projector.
When you select a video input like the USB-C icon or the Doc Cam, it will be grayed out, showing that it’s been selected.
In the next part of our tutorial, we’re going to show you how to quickly resolve two common errors your Windows PC might have when it first connects to an AV System, and how to quickly display what you need to show on the projection screen.
To find out how and to proceed with the tutorial, please press the “Projector Mute” button right on the bottom of the Touch Panel.
Tip about playing Physical Media
If you own a multi-media player and want to show DVD’s or Blu-rays in the classroom, you will need to press the “Protected Content Button” on the Classroom Touch Panel.
