    Connecting your Macbook Pro to the LCD Projector

    Turn on projector first, then connect the computer


    and turn it on.

    Your Macbook Pro came with a VGA adapter. If
    you do not have one contact the OIT Helpdesk at
    x4500. (Your students may have one.)

    Connect the VGA adapter to the side of
    the Macbook Pro.

    Connect the other end of the VGA
    adapter to a VGA cable that is attached to
    an LCD projector.

    Turn on the LCD projector

    Turn on the Macbook Pro

    Note: In most cases your computer will recognize
    that it is connected to an LCD projector and will
    begin projecting your image. If this does not
    happen you then need to turn Display
    Mirroring on so that an i mage wi ll be sent to
    the projector from the Macbook Pro.

    Display Mirroring







    Top Menu bar
    Click Display Icon

    Note: If the Display Icon is not on the top Menu
    bar then go to the Apple Icon on the top Menu
    bar, and select System Preferences from the
    drop down menu. Select the Displays icon from
    the Hardware options.
    Select the Show display in the menu bar
    checkbox in the Color LCD window and then close
    the window.

    The Macbook Pro is treating the LCD projector like
    an extension of the built-in Macbook Pro screen,
    so you wil l not see your content projected yet.

    To see your content
    Top Toolbar
    Click Display Icon
    Choose Turn On Mirroring

    This should project your image on both the built-in
    Macbook Pro screen and the LCD projector.

    You now need to choose your Display resolution.


    Display Mirroring (continued)








    Top Toolbar
    Click Di splay Icon
    Select Displays Pref erences

    Note: By opening this control panel you
    can access all of the control features for
    your display/screen including resolution
    size, monitor arrangement, Mirroring, and
    colors.





    Color LCD/control panel wi ndow
    opens
    Select the Display tab
    Choose a Resol uti on (The native
    monitor resolution for your Mac
    Macbook Pro is 1280 by 854.)

    Note: Because most of the LCD projectors
    on campus have a native projection
    resolution of 1024 by 768 it is
    recommended that you set your computers
    resolution to 1024x768.

    Your built-in screen height to width ratio will
    look different when it is changed to
    1024x768. This is normal.

    Some of the newer LCD projectors have
    the ability to project higher resolutions than
    1024x768. Experimentation and personal
    taste will dictate what resolutions you use
    for your Macbook Pro when connecting to
    a newer LCD projector on campus
