System Requirements
Before installing the SMART Podium ID422w, make sure your computer meets the
following minimum system requirements:
• For Windows computers: Windows Vista™, Vista X64, XP, or XP x64. VGA or DVI
video connector, available USB port, and CD-ROM drive.
• For Mac computers: OS X, v10.4 or greater. VGA or DVI video connector,
available USB port, and CD-ROM drive. ADC connectors require an ADC to DVI
adapter, not included.
The SMART Podium ID422w supports both analog (VGA) and digital (DVI) video
signals. If updating your video card, complete the video card hardware and software
installation before connecting the SMART Podium ID422w. If you have another
display that is compatible with your video card, you can connect that display to the
card in order to verify the video card is operating correctly.
Although you can quickly connect the SMART Podium ID422w to either a VGA or DVI
video card, connecting to a DVI video card generally results in optimum performance.
NOTES
• Depending on the capabilities of your video card and operating system, you
may be able to set up the SMART Podium ID422w as a mirrored, extended, or
independent display. Refer to your video card documentation for more
information on its capabilities.
• When you are working with more than one monitor, the SMART Podium
ID422w will map to the monitors based upon how your system is configured.
By default, if you are in mirror mode, the pen tablet will map to the entire
space on each monitor. See your hardware and operating system
documentation for details on configuring your computer and operating system
for use with multiple monitors.
• A display toggle function is available for use with multiple monitor systems.
This enables you to toggle the screen cursor between the SMART Podium
ID422w pen display and your other monitors. For more information, see the
electronic Software User’s Manual.
The SMART Podium ID422w can be used alone or with another display. You may
connect a second device, such as a monitor or LCD projector, to the SMART Podium
ID422w DVI-I OUT port. When using this port, the second device will mirror the image
on the SMART Podium ID422w. Complete the SMART Podium ID422w installation
before connecting a projection device to the unit.
