A/V Equipment Policy

Our rooms in Grainger Hall and Vilas Hall all are equipped with touch screen control panels that will allow speakers to toggle between different types of A/V inputs. In addition to a video projector in each room, the SCSMI program committee and the University of Wisconsin’s Communication Arts Department will also make laptops and DVD players available to presenters. This should, in theory, enable speakers to move smoothly between computer applications to DVD clips, and vice versa.

The following equipment will be standard for all of the rooms in which papers will presented at this year’s SCSMI conference:

  • Video projection units
  • Mac Laptop computers (Mac operating systems, DVD or CD-Rom Drives, USB ports, Microsoft Word and PowerPoint all standard)
  • Multi-region DVD players

Presenters working with PCs rather than Mac systems can bring any PowerPoint or similar presentation in a platform-neutral form, such as a disk or flash drive.

Each room is also equipped to connect a personal laptop to the room’s video projection system if you prefer to bring your own computer (either PC or Mac).

All additional A/V needs (slide projectors, VCRS, overhead projectors, etc.) should be communicated to me (jpsmith8@wisc.edu) by April 30, 2008. The program committee will do its best to try and accommodate any requests that go beyond the standard equipment listed above. Presenters should keep in mind, however, that additional equipment requests may involve additional charges for SCSMI as an organization. With that in mind, the program committee urges presenters to work within the parameters of our standard equipment if at all possible.
