video clips and more—by touching the screen. Two users can also draw on the interactive surface at

the same time, and you can use an array of gestures within applications.

This projector also supports video and audio connections from a variety of devices, including

DVD/Blu-ray™ players, VCRs, document cameras and digital cameras, and can project media from

these sources onto the interactive screen.

When you use SMART software with your SMARTBoard800i6 interactive whiteboard system, you

can write or draw over the projected computer image in digital ink using a pen tray pen or your finger,

and then save these notes to a .notebook file or directly into any Ink Aware application.

C H A P T E R 2

Installing your inter active 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.

W A R N I N G

l Refer to your interactive whiteboard system’s specifications (available at

smarttech.com/support) for its weight. Check your local building codes to ensure that your

wall can support this weight, and use appropriate mounting hardware for your wall type.

l If you are installing the interactive whiteboard system on drywall, use all the included toggle

bolts. If one of the bracket holes aligns with a wall stud, use appropriate hardware in that hole

instead of a toggle bolt.

C A U T I O N

If you’re replacing a SMARTBoard 500 or 600 series interactive whiteboard with the SMARTBoard

800 series interactive whiteboard on drywall, you must remove the wall-mount bracket and

mounting hardware, and then install all the mounting hardware and brackets supplied with your

SMARTBoard 800 series interactive whiteboard instead.

To help ensure that your interactive whiteboard is mounted correctly, make sure the colors of the

wall-mount hanger on the back of the interactive whiteboard and the wall-mount bracket are the same.

Choosing a height

SMART includes a mounting template with each interactive whiteboard system. If you lose this

template, contact your authorized SMART reseller. Using this template ensures that you can do the

following:

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

for airflow and installation access above the unit.

8 smarttech.com/kb/170401

C H A P T E R 2

Installing your inter active whiteboard system

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 location

for your interactive whiteboard.

Securing your interactive whiteboard system

This section explains how to secure the different components of your interactive whiteboard system.

Locking the pen tray to your interactive whiteboard

To learn how to lock the pen tray to your interactive whiteboard, see the SMARTBoard 800 series

To learn how to secure the SMARTUF70 or SMARTUF70w projector to the boom, see the included

SMARTBoard 880i6 and 885i6 interactive whiteboard system installation guide

(smarttech.com/kb/170499)

Routing the cables

When connecting cables from your SMARTUF70 projector to your interactive whiteboard system,

make sure that all cables pass along the top of the interactive whiteboard wall-mounting bracket and

then down the side of the interactive whiteboard.

When connecting cables from a SMARTUF70w projector to the interactive whiteboard, make sure

that all cables pass between the two interactive whiteboard wall-mounting brackets. Space your wall-

mounting brackets 4" (10.2 cm) apart to provide full support for the weight of your interactive

whiteboard.

Adjusting the image

Refer to these notes when adjusting the projected image as described in the included SMARTBoard

880i6 and 885i6 interactive whiteboard system installation guide (smarttech.com/kb/170499).

l While adjusting the projected image size, shape and location, use the projector’s default

background so that you can see the full projected image clearly. Don’t use other images, which

might be cropped or scaled by the projector and could result in a misleading projected image

size, shape and location.

l Use the mechanical adjustments described in the installation document to make all physical

image adjustments. Don’t use the projector’s on-screen menu options during the projector

alignment process.

l Be aware that 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. Loosen the

lever slightly to aid in this adjustment.

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

in smaller increments.

Your projector is HD Ready. Its native resolution supports a pixel-perfect display of 720p source

content. However, because the projector compresses 1080p source content to fit its native

resolution, it doesn’t support a pixel-perfect display of 1080p source content.

Video system signal compatibility

The following tables list the projectors’ video system signal compatibility, particularly for signals

delivered over S-Video and Composite video connectors, which the projector adjusts automatically

when you use the aspect ratio commands described in Adjusting projector settings on page 14.

Remotely managing your system through an RS-232 serial interface

Connecting your room control system to the ECP

By connecting a computer or room control system to the 4-pin connector on the ECP, you can select

video inputs, start up or shut down your interactive whiteboard system and request information such

as projector lamp use, current settings and network addresses.

N O T E

On projectors with the RS-232 connector labeled Control 9v (rather than Control), pin 1 functions

as a +9V DC power source only for use with older model ECPs such as the ones shipped with

SMARTUF55 projectors.

Serial interface settings

The serial interface of the projector acts as a Data Communications Equipment (DCE) device and its

settings can’t be configured. You must configure your computer’s serial communication program

(such as Microsoft® HyperTerminal) or your room control system’s serial communication settings

with the following values:

Setting Value

Data Rate 19.2 kbps

Data Bits 8

Parity None

Stop Bits 1

Flow Control None

N O T E S

l Asynchronous mode is disabled by default in the projector.

l All commands should be in ASCII format. Terminate all commands with a carriage return.

l All responses from the projector are terminated with a command prompt. Wait until you receive

the command prompt indicating that the system is ready for another command before you

proceed.

l The room control feature of the projector is always on.

To configure your computer’s serial interface

1. Turn on your computer, and then start your serial communications program or terminal emulation

program.

2. Connect your computer to the serial connection cable you previously connected to the ECP.

Field definitions

Field Possible values Description

off option l now

powerstate l powering

l on l cooling l confirm off l idle

This is an optional field and can simply be skipped. When specified, it forces the device to shutdown – a user cannot cancel the process. If ‘now’ is not specified, the ‘off’ command should cause a dialog to be displayed on the projector with a countdown. A second `off` must be sent before the countdown has expired to actually turn the unit off. If the countdown expires without an additional ‘off’ command, the projector does not turn off.

N O T E

This should be considered another projector state and when the countdown is completed an asynchronous response should indicate the projector has returned to the ‘on’ state.

When powered down, this command should be accepted but will not do anything except return the power state.

The device’s current power state. Different

devices have different potential power states.

These power states should match the power

states found in the UF70 and UF70w projector.

target aspectratio l = fill

l = match l = 16:9

The ranges must match the OSD ranges.

Fill:

No matter what the input, the image is stretched, scaled etc to produce an image that matches the DMD device. So 16:9 in = 4:3 out for the XGA projector and 16:9 in = 16:10 out for the WXGA

Match:

The signal is scaled such that the input aspect ration is what is displayed. So 4:3 in = 4:3 out. 16:10 in = 16:10 in. 4:5 in = 4:5 out.

16:9

The signal is scaled and stretched to produce a 16:9 image.
