system uses the short-throw, high-offset

SMARTUF70 or SMARTUF70w projector. The throw

distance of the SMARTUF70 and SMARTUF70w

projectors is half that of the SMARTUF65 projector,

resulting in a shorter boom and reduced shadows on

the projected image.

When the projector displays an image from your

computer on the touch-sensitive interactive

whiteboard, you can do everything that you can do at

your computer—open and close applications, scroll

through files, conference with others, create new

documents or edit existing ones, visit websites, play

video clips and more—by touching the screen. 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M600i6 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.

SMARTBoard M600 series interactive whiteboard

Your SMARTBoard M600 series interactive whiteboard, featuring SMART’s proprietary DViT®

(DigitalVisionTouch) technology, is the most intuitive touch-sensitive front projection interactive

(smarttech.com/kb/170555) to install your interactive whiteboard and projector.

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

system.

5 smarttech.com/kb/170549

C H A P T E R 2

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.

W A R N I N G

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.

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.

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 the projector to the boom

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

SMARTBoard M600i6 interactive whiteboard system installation guide (smarttech.com/kb/170555).

6 smarttech.com/kb/170549

C H A P T E R 2

Installing your interactive whiteboard system

Routing the cables

If your interactive whiteboard uses one mounting bracket, make sure that all projector cables pass

along the top of the bracket and then down the side of the interactive whiteboard.

If your interactive whiteboard uses two mounting brackets, make sure that all projector cables pass

between the brackets. Space your wall-mounting brackets 4" (10.2 cm) apart to provide full support

for the weight of your interactive whiteboard.

I M P O R T A N T

Do not connect the power cable to a power outlet until you have connected all the cables to the

projector and interactive whiteboard.

Installing SMART software

You must install SMARTsoftware, such as SMARTMeetingPro™ software or SMARTNotebook™

collaborative learning software on the computer connected to your interactive whiteboard system to

access all of its features.

Download SMARTsoftware from smarttech.com/software. These web pages list the minimum

hardware requirements for each software version. If SMART software is already installed on your

computer, take this opportunity to upgrade your software to ensure compatibility.

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.

Interactive whiteboard Aspect ratio mode

SMARTBoard M685 interactive whiteboard 16:10

You can set the aspect ratio mode using the Native DLP Resolution setting in the Projector Functions

menu (see Adjusting projector settings on page 12).

The image from your connected laptop computer isn’t projected

Laptop computer settings can interfere with projector operations.

Some laptop computers deactivate their screens when you connect a secondary display. Refer to

your computer’s manual for details on reactivating the computer's display screen.

Unaligned projected image

Alignment errors occur when the projected image isn’t perpendicular to the screen. Alignment errors

can occur when you mount your interactive whiteboard system on an uneven surface or a wall that

has obstructions, or if you swivel the projector too far from the vertical center of your interactive

whiteboard.

Use the SMARTBoard M600i6 interactive whiteboard system installation guide

(smarttech.com/kb/170555) to eliminate most image alignment issues.

The projector image can slip if the projector is moved often or installed in a location prone to vibration,

such as next to a heavy door. Follow these precautions to help prevent the image from becoming

unaligned:

l Make sure that the installation wall is plumb and square and doesn’t move or vibrate

excessively.

l Make sure that there are no obstructions behind the projector’s wall-mounting bracket, and that

the bracket is firmly secured to the wall according to the installation instructions.

l Adjust the projected image. See the SMARTBoard M600i6 interactive whiteboard system

installation guide (smarttech.com/kb/170555) and Adjusting the image on page 19.

Remotely managing your system through an RS-232 serial interface

By connecting a computer or room control system to the interactive whiteboard, 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.

N O T E

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 12.

N O T E

The 16:9 command delivers all video modes with black bands along the top and bottom edges of

the screen. The Match Input command might deliver video modes with black bands along the top

and bottom edges of the screen, depending on the input resolution.

Connecting peripheral sources and outputs

Follow these instructions if you have a peripheral device to connect to your interactive whiteboard

system, such as a DVD/Blu-ray player.

N O T E

Measure the distance between the projector and the peripheral device you want to connect. Make

sure each cable is long enough, has plenty of slack and can be placed safely in your room without

presenting a trip hazard.

To connect a peripheral source or output to your projector

1. Connect your peripheral device’s input cables to the projector.

2. Switch input sources to the peripheral device by pressing the Input button on the remote control.
