to install your interactive whiteboard, projector and

ECP.

This chapter provides additional considerations and details for installing your interactive whiteboard

system.

Choosing a location

Choose a location for your interactive whiteboard system that’s far from bright light sources, such as

windows and strong overhead lighting. Bright light sources can cause distracting shadows on your

interactive whiteboard and can reduce the contrast of the projected image.

Select a wall with a flat, regular surface and sufficient clearance to accommodate your interactive

whiteboard system. Install the projector and your interactive whiteboard on the same flat surface. For

best presentation alignment, mount your interactive whiteboard system in a location that’s central to

your audience’s viewing direction.

For mobile or adjustable installation options, contact your authorized SMART reseller.
