Use HDMI cable to connect to your personal laptop

Updated on

If you bring your own HDMI cable, follow these instructions to connect your personal computer to the projector screen or touch display in the classroom. If you need to borrow an HDMI cable, visit TC Media Services at HM 149.

1. Locate a wall plate with a HDMI adaptor in the classroom.

You will normally find a wall plate either under a screen or under a touch display (open the door of the cabinet hidden in the wall).

2. Insert the HDMI cable into the HDMI port in wall plate.

3. Connect the other end of the cable to your personal computer.

4. Locate the main control panel or the small control panel in the classroom.

5. Press Plate A/B (on the main control panel) [1] or Wall Plate (on the small control panel) [2].

For example, if you connected your HDMI cable to Wall Plate B, you will press Plate B.

6. You will now see your personal computer mirrored on the projector screen or touch display.
