AV Equipment & Connections
Display & Cable Connectivity
How do you connect laptops with mixed ports (USB-C/HDMI/DP)?
Carry universal USB-C to HDMI adapter and backup DP cable. Confirm display supports native 1080p/4K. Keep spare dongle at reception to save sessions.
Are dual displays worth it for workshops?
Yes - use one for slides, one for exercises/chat or remote participants. Dual screens reduce context switching and keep energy high. Align resolutions for clean mirroring.
Backup & Contingency
What backup IT do you need for training rooms?
Have spare laptop, extra HDMI/USB-C cables, clicker with batteries, and portable hotspot. Print quick AV map and tech contact. Label every cable for recovery.
What’s the minimum kit for a reliable hybrid training?
1080p camera, echo-cancelling audio bar, wired host PC, and dual screens. Test breakouts, polls, recordings 24 hours ahead. Have co-host to manage chat and tech.
