A/V Requirements & Room Set Up for David Zach
- Digital projector with output of 1024 x 780 (XGA) or 1,280 x 1,024 (SXGA). It’s a good idea to check if the projector has worked with an Apple MacBook. Dave brings a Mac DVI to VGA adaptor.
- A line for sound is sometimes needed for the laptop.
- Screen size appropriate to size of audience and room.
- High-quality wireless lavaliere microphone.
- Dave’s laptop should be near the stage or area where he’ll be speaking. (He does not use a lectern.)
- Please allow for a reasonable space at the front of the room for Dave to walk as he speaks.
- Please work with the AV/Facilities people to ensure that the room is reasonably well lit AND the screen is not “washed” with light and does not have any direct spotlights on it.
Dave uses an Apple MacBook Air in all of his presentations and workshops. Images are shown using the program “Keynote” (similar to Powerpoint) with typically 40 to 50 graphics in a 60 to 90 minute talk and are projected from start to finish of the talk. Please note that what is shown is not “death by Powerpoint,” but rather interesting mix of futuristic and historic images (and very few words) to illustrate his points.
Many of the images seen are licensed to him by “Graphic houses” employing lawyers with budgets bigger than yours or Dave's so he cannot provide copies of the “slides” to audience members.
Video recording of his talks is possible; please contact him for details. He can be reached via email or at 414-278-0414.
