How to use the media:scape Tables
Turning on the media:scape table
To use the media:scape tables, first make sure the table is "on". You can do this by looking for the power button that is located on the media well in the center of the table. If the light is white, press the button once to activate the table and the light will become green.
Connecting a Laptop or Tablet
Laptops, tablets, and other devices can be connected to the media:scape tables using PUCKS.
1. Open the media well and remove a puck
2. Connect the Puck to your laptop (The Puck will glow). There are 4 connection types available at every table: HDMI, DVI, DisplayPort, and mini DisplayPort. Connection adapters for tablets, including iPad and Android tablets are available at the circulation desk for checkout.
3. Share what's on your laptop or device by pressing the number that appears on the Puck. This represents the screen you will present to. If two numbers are present you can present to one or both screens at the same time.
To disconnect your device, press the off button and disconnect the Puck.
