PSD Room Equipment

The three PSD Rooms 35, 37, and 40 (Red Level – Second Floor) for Poster Summaries & Discussions are equipped like the other lecture rooms:

Technical Equipment

  • Beamer;
  • Notebook for the upload of presentations (USB-Stick, DVD, CD);
  • VGA cables to connect the personal notebook/MacBook with the beamer via a switch (incl. power supply)*;
  • Laserpointer;
  • Kensington presenter to switch slides;
  • Necklace speaker microphone;
  • Presentation timer (for presenter and chairperson);
  • Wireless hand-held discussion microphones (larger rooms only).

*Each PSD room is equipped with a table with 3 independent sites A – C consisting of power sockets plus a VGA cable each, where authors can install, in the order of presentation, their computers before the PSD time block starts and remove them after the time block has ended. Please keep in mind that Austria runs a 220V electricity network. At position D, there is a switch by which the positions A – C can be switched independently, one after the other, to the beamer before the respective speaker starts his/her presentation. If the author uses his/her own notebook/MacBook we kindly point out that he/she has to switch on the external monitor mode (VGA mode, e.g. Fn F5).
