Connecting peripheral sources and outputs
Follow these instructions if you have a peripheral device to connect to the interactive whiteboard
system.
NOTES
l
Measure the distance between the projector and the peripheral device you want to
connect. Make sure each cable has enough slack to be placed safely in your room without
presenting a trip hazard.
l
Do not disconnect cables from the ECP to connect peripheral devices because you could
disconnect controls for your interactive whiteboard.
l
Do not connect SBA-L projection audio system speakers to the RCA connector pod.
Connect these speakers to the projector connection panel using a dual-channel (left and
right) RCA plug-to-3.5 mm phone connector (included with the speakers).
l
The composite video connector and associated dual channel audio inputs on the projector
and optional RCA connector pod are for input only. These RCA jacks don’t provide an
output signal.
To connect a laptop to a SMART Board interactive whiteboard system
1. Connect a USB cable from the laptop computer to the ECP.
2. Connect a VGA cable from the laptop computer to the VGA connection kit.
OR
Connect an HDMI cable from the laptop computer to the projector.
TIP
Alternatively you can use a DVI-D-to-HDMI cable.
