Overview
Your SMART Board M600 series interactive whiteboard's USB interface enables you to connect
your interactive whiteboard to your computer. The USB cable included provides a digital signal
from your computer to your interactive whiteboard and the power supply included provides power
to the interactive whiteboard.
Matching your computer's resolution to your projector's resolution
Ensure that the resolution settings for your projector and computer match. If your computer's
resolution doesn't match the projector's native resolution, the image doesn't properly fill the
interactive surface and can shimmer or appear distorted.
Set the projector to its optimal image resolution by following the instructions included with your
projector and then set your computer's resolution to match. If you need help changing your
computer's resolution, see the instructions included with your operating system.
You might need to adjust your computer's refresh rate to obtain the best results. Set the computer
to an initial refresh rate of 60 Hz and then adjust this rate up or down to determine the ideal refresh
rate. For more information on changing your computer's refresh rate, see the instructions included
with your operating system.
Installing SMART Product Drivers
You can install SMART Product Drivers on any computer that meets certain minimum operating
specifications by using the software installation DVD included with your SMART product or by
downloading it from smarttech.com/downloads.
