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. | |||

=== Wall Plate Diagram === | |||
All physical connections to projectors and speakers are done through a wall plate. You can also connect to most classrooms' and larger AV installations through Apple TV. | |||
Here's a diagram of a wall plate in most classrooms. | |||
Some older wall plates may have a vestigial VGA port which may or may not work. Wall plates installed after 2017 will not have a VGA port. Please use the connection cable bundles with the HDMI cable & dongle appropriate for your computer, ChromeBook, tablet or iPhone. | |||

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. | |||

# 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: | |||
