Connecting a Guest Laptop

If you don't have the X-Port 20 switch option, you'll need the following cables to connect a guest
laptop to the 2000i:
An HD15-to-BNC video cable for the laptop video
a 3.5 mm (both ends) audio cable for the laptop audio
NOTE: Without the X-Port 20 switch option, you cannot control the laptop display by touching the
screen, nor will you be able to switch between the host computer and a guest laptop
Controlling a Guest Laptop by Touching the Screen
You can control a connected laptop presentation by touching the screen only if you:
purchase and install the X-Port 20 switch option for the 2000i
install SMART Board software on the laptop
The X-Port 20 unit is an RS-232 serial switch that provides a serial connection from the laptop,
enabling the laptop user to both write over top of the displayed laptop image with a pen tray stylus
and control the contents of the laptop by touching the screen. In addition, it allows you to switch
between the laptop, the resident computer and a VCR/DVD player using the Control Panel at the
front of the 2000i.
Complete instructions for installing the X-Port 20 switch and connecting a guest laptop are in the X-
Port 20 Switch Option Installation Guide that comes with the option kit.
To connect a guest laptop (without the X-Port 20)
1. Power down the projector.
2. Connect the HB15 end of HD15-to-BNC video cable to the Video port on the laptop.
