Evaluating the impact of Screen Share on your network data usage
When you connect your device or computer to the display using Screen Share, the screen sharing
protocol compresses the image from your device or computer. The protocol may transmit only
areas of the screen that change. This can make it difficult to estimate the impact of Screen Share
on a network where many users would like to screen share simultaneously.
For example, in a school where 30 teachers are using Screen Share simultaneously, 10% of
teachers might be streaming video while 90% might be sharing static content with occasional
updates. In such an instance, you could expect to see an additional 5 Mbps in network traffic. Use
the following table to help estimate the impact of wireless Screen Share on your network.
Content being sharedData rate transmission
Static content with minor screen movement20 kb/sec
Static content with periodic scrolling or
refreshes
Gaming or streaming video with major screen
Spikes briefly to 500–600 kb/sec, returns to 20

Updating system software
When the SMARTBoard 2000 series display is connected to the Internet, it updates its system
software automatically.
When an update to the system software is available, the display downloads the update in the
background then waits for four hours of inactivity. When that happens, the display shows a
two-minute countdown before beginning the update. The countdown can be interrupted at any
time. The update begins when the countdown is complete. The display shows a blank screen for
four minutes. When the update is complete, the display shows the Whiteboard and any content
that was on Whiteboard before the update.
NOTE
You can configure your organization’s network to allow or prevent automatic system software
updates (see Configuring the network for the display on page2).
