Alternatively, for the most reliable experience, connect a laptop via HDMI cable at the production table at the rear of the room. A long-range wireless clicker is available upon request. For the best representation of your content, please make sure slides are composed in a 16×9 format.

Auditorium:
- Built-in Projector with projection screen
- Clients may present from a laptop directly using our large wooden podium, via HDMI or VGA connection. Includes monitor, power, network connection. For the best representation of your content, please make sure slides are composed in a 16×9 format.
- Smaller Lucite podium provides a smaller footprint, without AV connections. Alternatively, clients may present remotely, using a clicker to advance slides on a computer in the control room. This arrangement also allows for close proximity to the technician to provide quicker assistance.
- 7 Wireless Microphones, in various combinations of lapels and handhelds
- When files are sent in advance, a technician can play video or images from the booth
- Blue-Ray/DVD player
- Basic stage lighting presets
Live Event Video Services
A technician can record your event with the auditorium’s three built-in cameras, and provide a basic video edit for archival purposes. These extra services may include recording video, live streaming to the GSU Vimeo account or another platform, and creation of basic titles for use on the stream. We have options to add virtual presenters to the stream. Because these services entail extra technician time and preparation, fees in addition to the room rental are outlined in our “Live Event Video Services” request form, accessed here.
