Frequently Asked Questions
What if I want to show a Power Point presentation or browse the web on a cart?
We recommend bringing your own computer or tablet with an HDMI connection to display any materials that cannot be played through the included DVD player. While St. Andrew does have a laptop that may be reserved, it may not always be available due to high demand. It is also always better to operate a machine you are familiar with should an issue arise.
What if I don’t know what kind of connection my computer has?
Every computer will have an information area that lists all available connections on your machine. It may also be helpful to consult with a computer retailer (Best Buy/Geek Squad) to understand what output options are available on your computer. They will also be able to help with selecting an adaptor.
What if I have a VGA output on my computer?
We recommend purchasing the necessary adaptor for your computer to allow native HDMI output.
How will I know if I need an audio cart for my event?
We recommend using audio carts only in large adjoining classrooms or Fellowship Hall. Due to the size of most classrooms, an audio cart is not necessary.
What if I need more than one microphone for my event (i.e. crowd Q&A)?
We offer an additional wired microphone that can be paired with an audio cart. The wired microphone can be used by the presenter while the wireless microphone can more easily be passed throughout the room.
What if I want to test out a piece of equipment before my event?
Please ask the front office/reservations staff to reserve the equipment at a time that is convenient for you to come to St. Andrew to test. If considering a TV cart, there is no need to request the same TV cart that is reserved for your event as all TV carts are identical in their design.
What do I do if I need help while onsite at St. Andrew UMC?
Please contact a facilities crew member for help with equipment or requesting additional accessories.
Please email Nicole Brummer to reserve equipment or personnel for your event.
Please email Kellen Berrigan if you have technical questions that are not covered online.
