Technology

The Trillium Meeting Room is equipped with an audiovisual system, offering a projector and a sound system.

Groups who wish to use the audiovisual system will need to stop by the accounts desk to check out an audiovisual kit with all the necessary accessories needed, including remote controls and a wireless microphone, as well as additional items depending on whether you choose to bring your own device or use library equipment.

Use library equipment

The audiovisual kit includes a wireless keyboard and mouse you can use to connect to a library computer, which offers internet access, Microsoft Office programs and a camera and microphone for video conferencing. You can access content or files posted online, or you can load files from your USB drive after inserting it into the wall port. Detailed instructions for using library equipment are included in the audiovisual kit.

Bring your own device

The audiovisual kit includes an HDMI cable and USB-C, VGA, DisplayPort and Mini DisplayPort adapters for you to connect your laptop to the library’s audiovisual system via the wall port. Please note that if your laptop is not compatible with one of these options, you will need to supply your own adapter to connect to the system.
