Instructor Workstation Instructions
...
- One the Instructor Dell Optiplex desktop computer press the button on the CD/DVD tray on the front of the computer, press the disk onto the tray mount, and push in to close the tray.
- Normally inserting the disk will start up VLC player and allow you to play your DVD. If the auto play does not commence, then click on VLC (an orange cone icon on the desktop) and select "Open disc" from the Media menu, click Browse, find the disk (This PC > DVD Drive > click Select Folder), and click Play. If the video is upside down (or other unwanted orientation), in VLC click on the Tools menu, Effects Filters, Video Effects Tab, Geometry Tab, and uncheck or check the "rotate" checkbox. NOTE: Some older DVD types may not play and in this case you would need to play them on a laptop on which you know they will play, or find an updated DVD version.
- VHS tapes can only be played by checking out an HDMI combo player from the Library (or from the ANC238 Storage closet) and connect the player to the HDMI cable used for laptop connections and press the Laptop/HDMI button on the extron control box.
