LCD projector capable of 1024 x 768 resolution

VCR

One hardwired podium microphone

One wireless lavaliere microphone

A Projectionist is in the meeting room at all times during the sessions. The Projectionist operates the AV equipment, room lights, and assists microphone distribution during Q & A.

The Projectionist is in the meeting room and available to Speakers thirty minutes before the start of each session. It is expected that this time is used to ensure that the Speakers presentation materials are properly arrayed for the session, be it establishing connectivity between laptop and LCD, arranging 35mm slides in a tray, or focusing the overhead. Sound levels are also established at this time.

For LCD Projector Users:

GRC does not provide computers in the session room. Speakers must provide their own laptop computer, power cord and any other proprietary cables or connectors required to connect their laptop to the LCD projector.

The LCD projector can accommodate both PC's and MAC's. It is capable of XGA (1024 X 768) screen resolution.

A 4x1 switch is connected to the input of the LCD projector, allowing four computers to be connected simultaneously. The switch has buttons which allow the output of any one of the four connected computers to be displayed. The switch has four 15 pin, six foot long VGA cables already attached. These VGA cables are meant to connect to the speakers' laptops. If a speaker's laptop requires a connector other than the standard 15 pin VGA type, again, it is the responsibility of the speaker to provide it.

If you cannot read your presentation on your laptop screen from 10 feet away, then your presentation will not be legible to the audience.

Internet or network access is not available in the session meeting room.

For 35mm Slide Projector Users:

There are a number of GRC eighty-slide carousels available in the meeting room. The Projectionist can assist in mounting the loaded carousel on the projector.

For Overhead Projector Users:

GRC does not supply transparencies. Presentations must be brought to the site. GRC is not set up to produce presentations on site.

Disclaimer:

GRC is not responsible for the security of any personal equipment during the meeting.
