Laptop

You may choose to connect a laptop computer to the 3000i as a source for presentation. This can be done in conjunction with or independently from the PC that is integrated to the Director system.

Simply connect it to the ‘Laptop Umbilical’. Extend the laptop end of the umbilical from the rear of the 3000i cabinet until it reaches the laptop shelf. Then make the appropriate connections to the laptop. If you want network access, you’ll also need to connect the adapter end of the umbilical’s network cable to a room network connection.

N O T E

BECAUSE THE SYSTEM IS VIDEO SENSING, YOUR LAPTOP MUST SEND A VIDEO SIGNAL IN ORDER TO DISPLAY THE LAPTOP IMAGE ONTO THE 3000I.

REFER TO THE LAPTOP USER MANUAL FOR SWITCHING VIDEO. MOST LAPTOPS USE ‘FN+F5’ TO SWITCH.
