Heininger Computer/VCR Projection

Heininger Auditorium, located in the Larrance Academic Center, has a ceiling mounted data and video projector, electrically controlled screen, and built-in sound system. Because the floor must be kept clear of equipment, the computer, stereo, VCR and other equipment must be requested ahead of time.

To display the computer on the data projector.

1. Connect the computer cart power cord to an electrical outlet.

2. Connect the RGB computer cable to the AV port on the wall next to the stage left stairs.

3. Connect the network cable to the LOC.

4. Use the remote control to turn on the ceiling mounted data projector. You may need to stand on the stage and point the remote directly at the projector.

5. Lower the projection screen by flipping down the switch marked "screen" located backstage, through the stage right door.

6. Turn on the computer and monitor.

7. If necessary, press the DATA button on the remote to change the input source of the data projector to RGB.

8. The lights must be dimmed to see the projected image clearly. The light switches are located backstage, through the stage left door.

To display video on the data projector

A. Connect the VCR or DVD player to the video and audio inputs on the port located on the wall to the right of the stage stairs. The video input is the RCA type connector in the center of the port; the audio inputs are the two RCA type connectors on the left side of the AV port.

B. Connect the power cord of the VCR or DVD player to an electrical outlet.

C. Use the remote control to turn on the ceiling mounted data projector. You may need to stand on the stage and point the remote directly at the projector.
