Connecting an External Device
There are two ways that you can connect your device to the office TVs: VGA cable or HDMI cable. The only main difference between the two is that HDMI transfers sound, while with VGA you will need to connect an additional 3.5mm audio cable. With either approach, the general steps are as follows:
-
Connect your cable of choice to the device you wish to display on the screen.
- You may need an adapter if you are using a laptop.
- Connect the other end of the cable to the wall port (usually located opposite of the TV).
- If you do not see your device automatically appearing on the TV, you may need to turn on the TV or adjust the input of the TV which can both be done using the remote.
- If you do not currently have a remote for your TV, you can get one from the UMIACS Help Desk.
- To adjust the input of the TV, click the source button on the remote, located between the volume and channel buttons, and select the proper input named HDMI 1.
Once you connect your device, there are different display modes that can be chosen. This setting can be changed in macOS and windows under the display settings. If you are running RHEL, the display settings can be accessed through settings -> devices -> display.
- Mirror: Displays the same screen on both your computer and the TV.
- Extend: Will use the TV as a second screen which you can access by moving your mouse off your current display.
