Eckhart Hall 202

Projection screen Projection Screen
Ethernet connection Ethernet Connection
Setup Setup: For best results, the projector should be placed in the middle of the second row. This is however, difficult to do given the length of the power cables, but can be done using an extension cord (not included in the kit). Placing the projector on the main table works well too, although the image is smaller.

Placing the projector on the main table works well too, although the image is smaller. Using the side wall as a screen gives a larger image.

Eckhart Hall 207A

Projection screen Projection Screen
Ethernet connection Ethernet Connection
Setup Setup: Place projector about 8 feet away from the screen on the arm of a chair (power outlet on the side wall is well placed). Since the chairs are not fixed in this room, it is easy to position the projector well. The ethernet jack is also close on the west wall. Place laptop on the main table. This is a good room to use the projector in.

Eckhart Hall 307

Projection screen Projection Screen

Setup Setup: It is easiest to place the projector and laptop on the main table here. If you use a portable screen, then you can place it at an appropriate distance from the projector (best location is the north-east corner of the room, the corner across from the door). Alternately, you may try to use the side wall as a screen, this works reasonably well.

Eckhart Hall 312

Projection screen Projection Screen
Ethernet connection Ethernet Connection
Setup Setup: This room is rather strange in that it has no power outlets in the front of the room. As a result, the only place where one can setup the projector is in the back of the room, in the middle. The ethernet jack however, is in the front of the room, so unless you have an extra long ethernet cable (the one in the kit is not long enough), you will not be able to connect to the internet. A portable screen placed in the front of the room gives fairly good results, although one may use the side wall with satisfactory results.

The Barn

Projection screen Projection Screen
Ethernet connection Ethernet Connection
Setup Setup: Surprising that the room does not have an ethernet jack. Place the laptop and projector on a table about 8 feet away from the screen (in the south-west corner of the room), there is a power outlet in the nearby wall. Not everyone sitting in the room will be able to see the screen, so one may alternately use a portable screen placed near the north-east corner. Power sockets are a bit of a stretch at this end, but if you use one of the smaller tables lying around, you will be able to position things well.
