Audio Visual Equipment in the Faculty

Please note that this page deals only with the equipment that has something to do with a computer. Enquiries about 'traditional' audio-visual equipment such as televisions and overhead projectors should be addressed to the RFB Custodians (tel 35013).

The following table displays which equipment is available in each room.
Click on the rooms menu (to the left) for detailed descriptions of the equipment in that room.

Note: All PWF machines have a DVD player and Internet connectivity, but require a PWF account to login.

Getting Help

The computing team will do everything we can to help you to successfully use the Faculty's IT equipment. We are contactable via email or phone on ext 35033. Sadly, the next line is a disclaimer.

We have lots of other computing issues to look after including the Faculty's network, servers and individual users and their machines, so at busy times we may not be available to help straight away with every problem - but we will do our best.

The following outlines the measures we can all take to minimise any problems and frustrations with the audio-visual equipment:

• Central Site Technical Services always check the AV equipment in the teaching rooms before the start of term. If you encounter any repeated glitches with the equipment, please let us know so that if we can't fix it in-house we can pass the information on to them.
• Out of consideration to your colleagues, please just logout of the PWF workstations and leave them switched on. These computers boot over the network, this can take some time and seriously disrupt the start of the next lecture.
• Please familiarise yourself with the equipment before you use it. We are happy to help you with this as we don't like last minute problems in front of a room full of students any more than you do. Honestly. We provide clear and concise guidelines on how to use the equipment both online in this document and in most of the rooms. Constructive comments on how they can be improved are always welcome.
• On the same basis of avoiding last minute problems, if something doesn't work as it should please tell us. We'd rather try to fix it in between rather than during lectures, so even if it's something we can't sort out straight away for you it might mean the next lecturer doesn't have the same problem.
