NOTE
Refer to the display’s specifications for power requirements and power consumption information
(see More information on page 9).
Connecting cables for room computers,
guest laptops and other input sources
You can connect USB and HDMI or DisplayPort cables to the display so that users can connect and
use room computers, guest laptops or other input sources, such as Blu-ray™ disc players.
NOTE
For information on configuring connected computers, see Chapter 4: Configuring connected
computers on page 27.
Using recommend cables
SMART recommends the following varieties of cable:
Cable type Maximum length Recommendations
HDMI 23' (7 m)
1
Use only certified HDMI cables that have been
tested to support the performance standard you
require.
DisplayPort 23' (7 m) Use DisplayPort 1.2 compliant or better cables.
USB 16' (5 m) Use a USB extender if the distance between the
computer and the display is greater than 16' (5 m).
For more information, see
USB extenders on page 8.
Using cables that exceed these maximum lengths may produce unexpected results, degraded
picture quality or degraded USB connectivity.
1
The performance of cables longer than 23' (7 m) is highly dependent on the cable’s quality.
