Hardware Guidelines

Quick Links

The hardware guidelines listed are recommendations we can suggest to get every bit out of the hardware.

A good thing to keep in mind is that we want to remove as much latency from the connection as possible. So, limit “wireless” links in the connection and some types of devices are terrible as well. Once you understand these factors, we will schedule a sound check to double check the configuration before the show.

IF YOU NEED ASSISTANCE, please call a member of our staff anytime for advice and the easiest options. Or we can avoid this altogether by using a land-line corded-phone connection. But that might deny the audience the visual experience we try to create during the interviews.

The next step: SOUND CHECK

Please contact a member of our STAFF for assistance at any time during the process
of appearing on The Computer America Show!
