Classroom Technology
Intel and AMD are the most common makers of VGA chipsets (the controller that allows VGA to work on a computer for example). VGA was first introduced in 1986 and it looks like 2015 will be the year VGA support will be ending. Dell, Lenovo, Samsung, LG and a few other large companies have agreed with this timeline, and have stated that they will also no longer include VGA on their computers and other components. This deadline has been pushed back before, but even if it does not happen in the immediate future, it is certainly inevitable.
As far as CSUCI's AV systems go, there is no firm date that we will completely eliminate VGA from our standard. ITS's AV Group's intention is to include it for as long as possible, since ITS is aware that there are many people on campus who still rely on VGA technology for their presentations. However within the next 3 years (an estimate based on current trends), it will become very difficult for ITS to source technology that includes VGA at all, and at that point we may not have a choice but to abandon VGA altogether (much like we can no longer get RCA or S-Video connections into our systems).
ITS will move from two VGA ports in every classroom to one HDMI and one VGA port.The next step will be to eliminate the VGA altogether and we will have two HDMI ports in every classroom. All our new buildings like Sierra Hall will have two HDMI and one VGA port model as an intermediary step before removing VGA from the system altogether.
Please make sure that your current computer will work in our classrooms. If you have any questions please contact the IT Solution Center
