7 | CHAPTER 2 – INSTALLING THE SMART PODIUM ID422w

Monitors and Projectors

You can use the SMART Podium ID422w alone or with another display. You may
connect a second device, such as an LCD projector or a monitor, to the SMART
Podium ID422w DVI OUT port. When using this port, the second device mirrors the
image on the interactive pen display. Complete the SMART Podium ID422w
installation before connecting a second device.
NOTE
When you are working with more than one monitor, the SMART Podium ID422w
maps to the monitors based on your system configuration. By default, if you are in
mirror mode, the pen tablet maps to the entire space on each monitor. For more
information on configuring your computer and operating system for use with
multiple monitors, see your hardware and operating system documentation.
Setting Up the Interactive Pen Display
This section tells you how to:
• determine the best location for the interactive pen display (this page)
• set up your work area (page 8)
• change the angle of the interactive pen display (page 8)

Determining the Best Location for the Interactive Pen Display

Install the interactive pen display in a cool, dry location without excessive levels of
dust, humidity and smoke. Operate the interactive pen display in an environment
within a temperature range of 5°C to 45°C (41°F and 115°F) and within a humidity
range of 20% to 85% (non-condensing). You can store the interactive pen display
within a temperature range of -10°C to 60°C (14°F to 140°F) and a humidity range of
20% to 90% (non-condensing).
Take into consideration that the interactive pen display itself will generate heat
whenever it is turned on. To maintain a consistent operating temperature, do not block
or cover any of the ventilation holes on the back of the unit. Other external factors can
affect the interactive pen display, such as the heat generated by control systems or
other electronic equipment. Make sure that there is adequate airflow around the unit.
Keep the computer keyboard and the mouse close to the interactive pen display
because the pen will not have full functionality and maximum performance until you
install SMART Board drivers and then open the SMART Board tools. You should also
keep your computer within 5m (16’) of the unit. This distance protects against signal
degradation that occurs with a longer USB cable. The video cable also has length
limitations, so you should not use an RGB video cable longer than 15m (50').
