Using an External Laptop
To use a laptop with the Paslay system, locate the video & audio cables in the cable cubby on the left side of the podium. Connect the cable to the laptop and press "Laptop" on the control panel. When you want to use the computer in the
podium again press Computer 1 on the control panel.
For information about networking, see the Network Connectivity section.
Note:
If the display does not appear on the projector, you may need to change
the monitor settings on your laptop. The settings should have a maximum
screen resolution of 1024x768 and the refresh rate should be less than
75 Hertz. This can be done in the "Display" control panel, accessed by
right-clicking on your desktop and choosing "Properties."
You may also need to tell your laptop to display to an external monitor. On many laptop models, this is done by pressing Fn+F8 (the laptop's Function key at the same time as F8). This can, however, be different depending on laptop model.
