Using cables that exceed these maximum lengths may produce unexpected results, degraded
picture quality or degraded USB connectivity.
Sharing USB Type-B receptacles
The HDMI and VGA connectors on the connector panel share USB Type-B receptacles:
USB Type-B receptacle
Video connectors
Touch 1
l
HDMI 1
l
HDMI 2
Touch 2
l
HDMI 3
l
VGA
If two computers are connected to video connectors that share the same USB Type-B receptacle,
you must disconnect the USB cable from the first computer and connect it to the second computer
if you want to switch from one computer’s input to the other’s. For example, if a room computer is
connected to HDMI 1 and a guest laptop is connected to HDMI 2, you must disconnect the USB
cable from the room computer and connect it to the guest laptop when you want to switch to the
guest laptop’s input.
Connecting a SMART OPS PC module
If your organization has purchased a SMART OPS PC module, you or
your organization’s installers can install the OPS PC module in the
accessory slot of the SMART Board 7000R or 7000R Pro series
interactive display following the OPS PC module’s installation
instructions (
). You can then view the OPS PC
module’s input on the display.
For more information about the PCM8 series of SMART OPS PC
modules, see
CAUTION
Do not install the OPS PC module or remove it from the accessory slot while the display is turned
on.
