Audio Visual Equipment


Placing Orders

  • Please order special equipment, materials and supplies from your program planning department.
  • Please order only what equipment you will need to use on specific dates. Some equipment must be rented and that becomes costly if equipment is left unused in the classroom after being ordered.
  • Please provide sufficient lead time and detailed information.
  • Submit Audio/Visual Request Forms and requests for reproduction of materials at least 30 days prior to the first meeting of the course.
  • As a limited amount of audiovisual equipment is available, Event & Facilities Management reserves them on a first-come, first-serve basis. Place your order as early as possible.
  • Allow your planning unit six weeks lead time for video rentals and purchase of supplies.
  • If your course requires the reproduction of a considerable amount of class materials, please arrange in advance with your program manager.
  • Direct all requests to course program managers first - rather than Event & Facilities Management Staff.

SmartClassrooms

Almost all Classrooms at the UCI campus and at our UCI Learning Center have now been technologically-enhanced.

UCI calls their technologically-enhanced classrooms “SmartClassrooms.”

Standard SmartClassroom equipment includes a PC computer with high speed internet access, laptop audio/visual connection, VHS/DVD deck, touch panel controller, ceiling-mounted data projector, speakers, overhead transparency projector on a cart, and a help phone.

  • You will be given a short orientation on how to log in and use the SmartClassroom equipment at your first class meeting by UCI Extension Event & Facilities management staff.
  • UCI Extension classrooms have similar equipment as the SmartClassrooms except for the touch panel controls and help phone. Our classrooms do not require a log in & password.
 

Available Equipment if not meeting in a SmartClassroom

  • Data Projectors for PowerPoint and video presentations
  • Big screen televisions with combination DVD/VHS decks
  • Overhead projectors
  • Tabletop podiums
  • 35 mm slide projectors
  • Portable public address systems with microphones for large venues
  • Equipment not listed above may be available to rent from UCI. Please inform your planning unit program representative if special equipment is required.

Laptop Computers and Computer Support

A limited number of computers and computer presentation equipment is also available for classroom use from the Office of Instructional Technology. Please call (949) 824-2144 for any inquiries about computer hardware/software, computer laboratory needs, Internet classroom use, and compatibility issues with your own laptop computer.
