AV Instructions

Our lecture theatres and seminar rooms each contain a Windows laptop with Microsoft Office, Adobe Reader, Microsoft Teams and Zoom installed. Additionally, all rooms have sufficient sound.

All lecture theatres and seminar rooms are connected to our network called ‘SANT-DATA’ and also have both Eduroam and OWL wireless coverage.

We advise using the room provided laptop. However, if you prefer to use your own device, please connect it using the HDMI cable from the room provided laptop and ensure you plug the HDMI cable back after use. For MAC users, there are two USB-C to HDMI adapters available for reservation on a first-come, first-served basis through the Lodge. Please ensure they are returned to the Lodge after use.

If you require hybrid kit, please refer to the information below to see which rooms are equipped for hybrid use. We also have a portable camera/speaker which can be borrowed.
