All PLNU podiums are equipped with a number of ways and inputs to display content from a device to the projector or TV.
-
USB Connection - A Dell docking station with a USB-C connection is available to physically connect a laptop or device to the projector. On the same USB-C cable, there is a adapter available for HDMI connections. Please note there is no longer a need to install DisplayLink software to display content from your laptop. Third party (non-PLNU provided laptops) laptops no longer require installing any software to work.
-
Podium computer - Depending on the room, a Windows or MacOS computer is available to mirror content to the room projector. Please note, using these computers requires a PLNU account to log in with. If you are not an active PLNU student, staff, or faculty, this option will not be available to you.
- Apple TV - Apple TV's allow you to use AirPlay to wireless cast content to the projector. This method is only available to native functionality of Apple devices (Apple computers, iPhones, or iPads). On PLNU-provided Windows computers, there is an app already installed and available to utilize called AirParrot. Launch this application and type in the address displayed on on the projector or TV when selecting AppleTV input on the touch screen display on top of the podium.
