Locate the wall-mounted computer/video input box. (Usually on one side of the chalkboard.)

-
Attach video source or computer to the appropriate input.
For a Videocassette Recorder (VCR):
- Hook up the video RCA patch cord (video out on VCR to video in on connection box).
(Video in is the second input from the top on the connection box).
- Hook up the audio patch cord (audio out on VCR to audio in on connection box).
(Audio in is the top input on the connection box. In some cases it is an RCA input and in
other cases it is a stereo mini-plug input. If you're in a room with a stereo mini-plug, you will
need an adapter if your audio patch cord has an RCA plug.)
For a Computer:

- For a
Macintosh computer, hook up the SVGA cable and Macintosh adaptor to the Macintosh
computer.

If sound is desired, locate the 1/8" jack that is beneath the SVGA cable connection in the
wall-mounted input box. (In some cases, the 1/8" jack is immediately above the SVGA cable
connection.) Using your own audio cable, connect your computer to the jack. (You
should bring your own audio cable since one is not provided in the classroom.)

network access is desired, Mizzou TigerNet Wireless is available in many locations, or an Ethernet port is
usually located near the chalkboard. (You
