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:

  1. 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.
  2. Connect the other end of the cable to the wall port (usually located opposite of the TV).
  3. If you do not see your device automatically appearing on the TV, you may need to turn on the TV which can be done using the remote.
    • If you do not currently have a remote for your TV, you can get one from the Help Desk.
