Information for Support Staff

Sponsors

Fakespace Projector

  • Avoid looking into the lens (blindness is easily acquired)
  • NEVER close the side door when the projector is on operation. The unit will cook itself.
  • To turn on the projector, hold the remote close to the circle in the upper left corner of the front face while pressing the remote's power button.
  • To turn off the projector, repeat the process above. The fan will continue to run even after the light has turned off (up to 15 minutes if the projector is hot).
  • There is a DVI -> VGA adapter that plugs into the Fakespace cable coming out of the front of the display unit if it is needed.
  • It was recommended that we bury the cable into the podium supplied by Freeman making sure to encase the 5 colored connectors (RGB, Horizontal, Vertical).
