Recent Equipment
We now have two equipment cupboards at HTC. EC1 contains laptops, projectors, DVD, and FMM items. EC2 contains PA systems (Hi-Fi, "Cube", and their accessories), and Black Box with spare cables, batteries and adaptors.
We have replaced a faulty projector with a better one (PR2). Besides the usual interfaces for laptop, DVD players, etc. and a speaker, it also has a USB - A connector on the back. With this you can plug USB memory sticks directly into the projector and show pictures using the remote control. It's like having an electronic photo frame but projected!
PR2 is kept in the equipment cupboard at HTC and can be booked out; just inform the equipment officer.
