Audio Visual Resources and FieldsLive
It is practice to video record all talks as a resource for our partner
universities and the scientific community. It would be available both
for viewing live and later through our
video
archive. Let us know in advance if you prefer not to be recorded
or streamed.
Fields staff will assist you with all audiovisual equipment including
a wireless microphone a few minutes before your talk. Our standard
audio-visual equipment provided for a talk with slides is a screen
with data projector and Fields laptop computer if needed. In addition
our lecture room is equipped with chalk boards for your use.
The standard options for slides are:
1. The preferred and most reliable option is a PDF file presented
on a Fields computer. Please send us your slides in advance or
bring them on a USB key as soon as you arrive.
2. A PowerPoint presentation (any format) from your own laptop.
Please bring your laptop at least 15 minutes in advance of the
talk so we can ensure its video signal is compatible with our
capture equipment.
3. A PowerPoint presentation on a Fields computer. This is the
least reliable option as differences in fonts and PowerPoint versions
may cause formatting problems. Please send your slides in advance,
and please also include a version saved in the old "2000/XP"
format to use as a backup in case of problems with a newer version.
Please let the Program Coordinator for your event know in advance
what AV set-up you will be using.
