Calibrating the Cameras (DViT Technology)
With DViT technology, the cameras located in the corners of the interactive whiteboard frame
detect contact with the screen. For the screen to function properly, the cameras must be precisely
calibrated so that the computer can provide an accurate and appropriate response to screen
contact.
You should re-calibrate the cameras (and orient the screen) if areas of your screen control have
inaccurate, erratic or absent touch control, or if the electronic ink that appears when you write on
the screen is jagged, broken or doesn't appear at all.
To calibrate the cameras and orient the screen, access the
Advanced settings
of the SMART
Board Control Panel on a computer running the Windows 98, 2000, ME, XP or Windows NT
operating system, as described in the following procedure.
