Psych Data Projector Setups

PAS 4053 - aka Zanna Room

Turn the projector on using the control box mounted on the wall by the window - press the "ON" button. If you turn the projector off, you won't be able to turn it on again for 3-4 minutes - the bulb needed to cool down below a certain temperature before it turns on again.
If you are using the Nexus station, press the button with the computer icon. If you are using a laptop, press either "GUEST VGA" or "GUEST HDMI" depending on which cable you are connecting with.
If using a laptop, your display resolution can be no more than "1024 by 768" when using the projector. To check on Windows, right-click anywhere on the desktop background and select Properties/Settings and ensure you are using a screen resolution of 1024 by 768 or less.
