Studio Guide: Connecting to the Wireless Display

The majority of the studios in the Quinn building are enabled with wireless display technology. This means that you can share your laptop or device screen on the studio display without having to use a cabled connection. There are a number of steps you must complete before you can use the wireless display technology. Some of these steps will only need to be completed once. The following guide shows the steps needed for laptops running MacOSX to connect to the wireless display. You can also view these steps in the PDF document (right).
