Where are the classroom computers?
The classrooms on the 2nd floor of the Parish Life Building (PLB) no longer have a built in computer. Ministry leaders will need to provide their own computer or device to connect through the HDMI Wall In. AirPlay for Apple users wanting wireless connection is available in Room 205 only. Please plan ahead. Jump drives will no longer work unless it is connected to a device provided by the ministry leader.
HDMI Wall In for Computer/Tablet/Device
How do I connect my computer to A/V wall port?
The only connection available in each PLB classroom is an HDMI port located on the wall below the newly installed Flat Screen TV. It is always suggested to bring your own HDMI to HDMI 10ft cable. St. Anthony’s can never guaranteed a cable will be available onsite. Unattached equipment has a tendency to “disappear” in common spaces on campus and so it always better to come prepared with your own cable. Most laptops have HDMI ports. Newer laptops that rely of USB-C ports (such as newer Macbook Pros from 2017 on) will require an adapter.
NOTE: If you are using an older laptop (2016 models and older) there is an increased chance for connectivity issues. Having the most updated software on your device will give you the best chance of a successful connection.

Can I connect my device to the internet?
Yes, internet connection is available through the Guest WiFi Network. Please contact jliptrap@ap.church or your main staff contact for current password. Password changes monthly on the first of the month.
Where is the DVD player?
The DVD player is mounted under the wall mounted Flat Screen TV. The DVD player operates like normal. You may need to toggle between Inputs on the TV Screen. There are only two available inputs, the DVD player and the HDMI computer port.
Standard DVD Remote Control Options Available
Can I adjust volume?
Volume controls are offered through the standard options on the Flat Screen TVs. It will operate just as the volume does on your TV at home.

What if my computer is not displaying after HDMI connection?
If you connect your computer using the HDMI port and nothing appears within a few seconds on the screen – make sure the HDMI source is selected on the TV inputs. There are only two input options, the HDMI source and the DVD player. If there is still not a connection, then your HDMI cable, adapter (if applicable), or device port is likely damaged.
