Additional Equipment Available

• Due to the nature of the rear projection screen, most red laser pointers will "bleed" through the screen and be fairly dim even with most of the lighting turned off. The SCS Administrative Offices have a green laser pointer designed for rear projection screens that is available for checkout to Faculty members for their presentation. There is a $80 replacement fee for this laser pointer if the pointer is not returned in a timely manner following the conclusion of the presentation.

• A wireless media presenter is available for checkout from our Administrative office as well for Microsoft PowerPoint users. This is a Logitech Media presenter which will advance PowerPoint slides at the click of a button instead of having to come back to the Seminar PC to advance your PowerPoint presentation. This device works only with the Seminar Room PC and will not work with a laptop hooked into the projectors.
