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

audience’s viewing direction. For mobile or adjustable installation options, contact your authorized

SMART reseller (smarttech.com/wheretobuy).

W  W A R N I N G

When mounting the projector boom on a framed or hollow wall, attach both the mounting bracket

and the safety tether to a stud to safely support the projector’s weight. If you use only drywall

anchors, the drywall can fail, resulting in product damage and possible personal injury.

Choosing a height

SMART includes a mounting template with each SMART Board 600iv interactive whiteboard system.

If you lose this template, contact your authorized SMART reseller (smarttech.com/wheretobuy).

Using this template ensures that you:

l Mount the projector at a safe height for head space clearance, while maintaining enough space

for airflow and installation access above the unit.

l Position the projector at the correct height above your interactive whiteboard to align the

projected image with the touch screen.

Dimensions on the template recommend a distance from the floor suitable for adults of average

height. You should consider the general height of your user community when you choose a position

for your interactive whiteboard.

C H A P T E R 2

Installing your interactive whiteboard system

Routing the cables

When connecting cables from a SMART V25 projector to your interactive whiteboard, make sure that

all cables pass along the top of the interactive whiteboard wall-mounting bracket and then down the

image clearly. If possible, use a pure white screen to allow for easier alignment.

l Use the mechanical adjustments described in the installation document to make image

adjustments instead of the projector’s on-screen menu options.

l Don’t loosen the knob and locking screw too much or the projector won’t hold the adjustments.

l As you tilt the projector up or lower its mounting boom to raise the image, the entire projected

image increases or decreases in size, especially at the bottom of the projected image.

l When adjusting keystone (tilt), ensure that the top and bottom edges of the image are

horizontal before you position the left and right edges of the image relative to your interactive

whiteboard.

l When you move the projector forward or backward on the boom to make the image larger or

smaller, you might need to tilt or turn the projector slightly to keep the image square.

l To fine-tune the image, you may need to repeat all steps described in the installation document

in smaller increments.

Value-based command methods

Absolute values and adjustment values

You can use the command’s target range to set an absolute value for a command or cause an

adjustment to be made to the current value. To create an adjustment command, add a plus (+) or

minus (-) symbol instead of the equal symbol (=) before the value change you want to enter.

A P P E N D I X A

Remotely managing your interactive whiteboard system

All absolute values you enter must be within the command target range, and all adjustment values

must equal a number within the command target range.

See the following example for adjusting projector brightness:

>get brightness

brightness=55

>set brightness=65

brightness=65

>set brightness+5

brightness=70

>set brightness-15

brightness=55

Video source specification values

You can use the source input field described in Source selection controls on next page in a command

to set an absolute value or adjustment value to a source other than the active source. You can do this

while the selected source is inactive, but the source device must be connected, or you receive an

invalid command response.

The operational parameters are VGA1, Composite or S-Video.

The following examples set the brightness of VGA1, regardless of whether it’s the current source or

not:
