titleDrew University Classrooms Offer VGA Connections Only

Different Mac laptops come with various ports and adapters that can be used to connect to a projector. You must have the appropriate adapter to convert your laptop's output to a "VGA" connection. Drew University neither stocks nor sells these adapters; they can be purchased at any Apple store among other places.

1. Turn on the projector via the touch panel or remote control, depending on what is available in the room.

 

2. Press the laptop button on the touch panel or use the remote control to select the source on the projector for the laptop.

 

3. Plug in the VGA adapter to your laptop.

 

4. Plug the VGA cable from the projection system to your adapter.
