Audiovisual Equipment
Data projectors will be provided in all session rooms. The data projectors will be compatible with both PC and MacIntosh laptops. Presenters must bring their own laptops to the meeting. If you require any other audio visual equipment, you must contact the meetings office at protein@faseb.org in advance of the meeting.
Presenters are asked to arrive in the session room at least a 1/2 hour prior to the start time to set-up your laptop and check-in with the projectionist. If you would like to practice your presentation prior to the day of presentation, please let the technicians know in AV Headquarters. The office is open from 7:30 AM-5:00 PM Saturday-Tuesday.
PowerPoint/Computer Presentations
- Bring your own laptop computer with VGA 15-pin HD female output.
- Arrive at the session room 30 minutes before the session begins to connect your laptop.
- If you own a mini laptop with a special interface cable that attaches to the video output, you must bring this cable to the meeting with you.
- Set the maximum output resolution to XGA. The data projectors in each room have a native input resolution of XGA (1024x768) and will support 24-bit color as well as the following resolutions: VGA-640x480; SVGA-800x600; XGA-1024x768; and SXGA-1280x1024. The use of a higher resolution will force the data projector into a compression mode and some information will not show on the screen.
- Set the image to the external VGA port of your laptop (instructions will be in your laptop manual).
- Configure the laptop to prevent it from going to sleep or switching to screen save mode during your presentation.
- Use text that has a high contrast from the background image and use a plain single color background. White letters on medium or dark blue backgrounds increase visibility.
- Do not use black letters on a dark background.
- Avoid using red and green next to each other.
- Avoid using drop shadows.
- Graphic or written tabular material should be of adequate size but should not exceed 6 lines of bold print.
