== Basic Classroom AV Setup ==
AV setup in Riverdale classrooms and other indoor teaching/conference spaces allow you to connect your USB-C laptop to use:
* Audio/video & interactivity link with a compatible Epson Brightlink projector and the classroom speakers
* Audio-in connections from the [[Use In-Class Microphones|classroom microphones]]
* Charging power for your laptop
=== Use Classroom Anker Hub ===
Every classroom at Riverdale has an Anker Hub that allows you to connect your USB-C device and project to either the projector or TV in that space. Refer to the image below for what the cables on the Anker Hub are used for.
# To project, simply plug in the long-braided USB-C cable into your Riverdale laptop
# If you need to use a microphone, use this article on [[Use In-Class Microphones|classroom microphones]] to make sure the microphone and computer are setup properly and connected to the Anker Hub
# If audio is playing through the speakers properly, or if the video is choppy, grainy, or lagging
#* Check your [https://howdoi.riverdale.edu/wiki/Project_in_RCS_Classrooms#Change_Sound_Input/Output_Settings input and output settings]
#* Un-plug the USB-C power input (shorter non-braided cable on the Anker Hub) and plug it back in again

=== Use Apple TV AirPlay ===
Most classrooms at Riverdale have Apple TV's connected to the projectors. This allows teachers and students to wirelessly project their macOS, iOS, or ipadOS devices to the projector.
 
# Click '''''Source''''' on the projector remote until you see the '''''Apple TV name'''''
# AirPlay using your [https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204289 iOS or iPadOS device] or [https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/stream-content-to-apple-tv-mh40624/mac macOS device]
 
If you don't see the proper Apple TV, try following these steps:
 
# Restart your device
# Toggle the WiFi on your device '''''Off''''' and then '''''On''''' again
# Ask the Tech Department to restart the Apple TV
# If all else fails, [mailto:support-ticket@riverdale.edu submit a Tech Ticket] so that we can help!
