6 | CHAPTER 2 – INSTALLING THE SMART PODIUM ID422w
System Requirements
Before installing the SMART Podium ID422w, make sure that your computer meets
the following minimum system requirements.

For Windows operating systems

• Windows Vista®, Windows Vista 64-bit, Windows® XP, or Windows XP 64-bit
operating system
• DVI or VGA video port
• available USB port

For Mac operating system software

• Mac OS X operating system software 10.4 or later
• DVI or VGA video port
• available USB port
NOTE
ADC connectors require an ADC to DVI adapter (not included).

Video Cards

The SMART Podium ID422w supports both digital (DVI) and analogue (VGA) video
signals. If you are updating your video card, complete the video card hardware and
software installation before connecting the interactive pen display. If you have another
display that is compatible with your video card, you can connect that display to the
card in order to verify that the video card is operating correctly.
Although you can quickly connect the interactive pen display to a video card with
either DVI or VGA signals, a DVI signal generally results in better performance.
NOTE
Depending on the capabilities of your video card and operating system, you may
be able to set up the interactive pen display as a mirrored, extended, or
independent display. For more information, see your video card documentation.
