- controls and switchers
- audio playback system
- Data/Video projector: current SVGA (1024x768) resolution.
- Document camera.
- DVD/VHS combination player.
- Data/AV input panel with: Ethernet port and auxiliary data, USB, audio and video inputs.

- Also projector-only rooms with data/video inputs (e.g. Link 110, Physics 115, and Warehouse 500).
- Typical Level 1 Classrooms: Hall of Languages 421, Physics 106, Shaffer 121, and Watson 149.
Level 0: General Classrooms
Equipment is stored centrally in each building and set up by faculty or by fee-based ITS operators in individual rooms.
- Typical Level 0 Classrooms: Archbold 210, Carnegie 305, Hoople 105, and Link 103.
Note:
In Registrar classrooms which are heavily used by departments with special instructional technology needs, consideration will be given to the installation of equipment such as stand-alone audio CD and DVD players, 33 mm slide projector(s), etc. Projectors may be housed in projection cabinets at the rear of the room or stored in a teaching station with a suitable mounting shelf provided for occasional use. Departments are responsible for non-standard equipment purchases.
Registrar auditoria are equipped on a case-by-case basis, but generally have more extensive needs than classrooms. Example of additional system features for auditoria include voice reinforcement systems, multiple data projectors, multimedia touch screen control systems, videoconferencing systems, surround sound, special lighting, etc.
