Adapter Cheat Sheet

Many laptops are not equipped with HDMI ports, the most common connections used to interface to projectors which are utilized in DCS rooms. As a result, it may be necessary to use an HDMI adapter, or “dongle,” in order to connect laptops, phones, and tablets to the HDMI connections provided in DCS classrooms. Because there is no standard adapter, there is no one dongle that DCS can provide for use by instructors. Instructors using laptops without the connection type in their room will need to provide their own adapter to project.
