Connecting My Device

If you have a personal device, i.e. laptop, you may connect it to Trinity’s audio/visual equipment using built-in cables on the lectern. Connections are included for HDMI and VGA + 3.5mm audio.

  • If your personal device connects via HDMI, you do not need to use the 3.5mm audio cable.
  • If your personal device only has Thunderbolt or USB-C connections, an adapter to HDMI is required. Adapters can be purchased from electronic retailers for less than $15. Most new laptops, including MacBooks, only have USB-C connections available.

  2. Connect your personal device using built-in cables on the side of the lectern by lifting the panel cover plate and extending the wire.
  3. The projector should automatically switch display to your laptop.
