CHAPTER 2

INSTALLING THE INTERACTIVE PEN DISPLAY

smarttech.com/kb/171254

Connecting the interactive pen display to other
devices

You can connect another display device, such as a projector or a monitor, directly to the interactive

pen display. The image from the interactive pen display also appears on the other display. When

you connect a projector or a monitor, the video signal from the computer is automatically sent to

the projector or monitor.

NOTE

The display resolution of the connected computer must be set to a resolution supported by a

secondary display device.

To connect a projector or monitor

To connect a projector or monitor to the interactive pen display, connect a video cable from

the display's video out connector to the second display's video in connector. If the second

display has a DVI-D or DVI-I input, use a DVI to DVI cable. If the second display has a VGA

input, use a DVI-A to VGA cable (not included).

NOTES

o

For details about you other device's connectors, read the instructions that came with

your device.

o

If you use a video cable longer than 23' (7 m), you must boost the video signal with a

video distribution amplifier. See the

SMART Installation Standards

(

smarttech.com/kb/171035

) for tips on extending video cables.

o

If you want to show HDCP content, use a video distribution amplifier that is HDCP 1.4

compliant.
