Or, perhaps you're presenting complicated information that would benefit from a larger
display area. In this case, you might want to split the window across a couple of Boards, as
shown on the two SMART Board for Plasma Displays below.
You could even have separate windows open on some of the Boards and windows split over
others.
Option 2: Displaying Identical Computer Desktops on
Multiple Boards
It's particularly useful to display the same desktop on multiple Boards when you're delivering
a presentation in a large lecture hall or meeting room. By using multiple Boards, you can
display the same information at different locations in the room.
Setting Up Multiple Boards
To display windows from one computer desktop on multiple SMART Boards (option 1), you'll
need either a separate video card for each Board or a single card that splits one video signal
into multiple signals.
To set up multiple Boards that display identical computer desktops (option 2), you'll need to
either connect the projectors to each other in a daisy-chain pattern or install a video-
distribution amplifier between the projectors and the computer.
You'll find detailed instructions for setting up multiple Boards in the SMART Board tools
online Help. If you require further assistance in setting up a multiple SMART Board scenario,
call SMART Technical Support at 1.866.518.6791 or outside North America at
