Ojibwe for "a place on a hill," Ishpadinaa is the word on which "Spadina" is based.
The Ishpadinaa room is one of three mid-sized meeting spaces at Destination Toronto with seating for up to nine people. Ishadinaa is equipped with a large, high resolution monitor, a 1080p camera, power, and a tabletop microphone, all accessible through a single USB-C connection.

Two cable connectivity options are provided, and can be found in the middle of the table:
- The USB-C connection uses input HDMI 1 on all monitors and provides access to the room's camera and a power supply.
- The HDMI connection uses input HDMI 2 on all monitors and only provides video output to the monitor.
HDMI 1 is the default input. Use the remote control to access the monitor's menu system to change to HDMI 2.

Pressing one of the Menu Access buttons on the remote control will open the monitor menu system.
Use this menu system to ensure that the monitor is using input HDMI 1 (see additional directions under Cable Connections).

The Ishpadinaa room uses a USB-C cable to connect to a presentation device (see additional directions under Cable Connections). This connection goes through several systems before reaching the monitor. If there are signal issues when connecting a presentation device please check the following:
- Is the monitor using the correct input? Check the monitor menu.
- No audio? Use the remote control to check the monitor volume levels.
- Under the table is where most of the A/V equipment exists. To supply power to all of these components, there is also a power bar. Please turn the power bar off for 10 seconds, and turn it back on. Please wait for a few moments for everything to power back up.
- Contact Tom for further assistance if required.
