CONNECTING POWER, CABLES AND DEVICES

Viewing a connected computer or other device's input

Users can use the Input app or tap the Input button to open the input selection menu. Tap an input
source to view the computer or other device's input on the display.
For information about viewing a connected device's input, see the SMART Board MX100 series
interactive display user's guide (smarttech.com/kb/171289).

Connecting external speakers

The display includes two 10 W speakers, which are designed to provide sound at the front of a
room. You can connect external active speakers if you're providing sound in a larger space. See
SMART Audio 400 classroom amplification system on page 6 for more information.
You can connect external speakers to the display using the stereo
3.5 mm out connector (pictured).
The display also provides a Sony/Philips Digital Interface (S/PDIF)
optical out connector. S/PDIF is a digital audio transmission medium.
You need an audio receiver that supports S/PDIF to decode this
connection to analog for use with external speakers.

Connecting room control systems

A room control system enables users to control a room's lighting, audio system and, possibly, the
display. Some installations may require you to integrate the display with a room control system.
You can use the display's RS-232 connector to connect a third-party external control system to the
display (see Appendix B: Remotely managing the display on page 67).
