Most classrooms have a VGA connection and audio connection available at the teacher station to connect a laptop to the projector or display. After connecting to your laptop press the laptop button on the Extron controller to switch to this input.
Adapters can be used with laptops that do not have a VGA connection available. Just connect the adapter that works with your device and to the VGA cable in the classroom and connect the audio cable to your device and you are ready to display your laptop image.
Also, adapters can be used to connect an ipad to the classroom projector or display.
