30 | CHAPTER 3 – CONNECTING YOUR INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARD TO YOUR
COMPUTER
You can also present different views of the same desktop across interactive products.
With this option, you have the flexibility of opening one window on each screen, or
splitting one application across multiple screens. To set this up, you must send the
video signal from the computer to each display or projector. To do this, your setup
must include one of the following:
• a separate video card in your computer for each projector or each display
• a video card that splits the video signal and sends it to multiple displays
• a video distribution amplifier between your computer and the projectors
or displays
If you’re stretching your computer’s desktop across more than one interactive screen
and you’re using an older operating system, you must tell SMART Product Drivers
how your products are arranged. To do this, open the SMART Notebook control
panel, press SMART Board Settings, and then select Arrange Video Output from
the list. Depending on your setup, you might need to change your computer’s display
settings. For more information, read the documentation for your computer’s video
card.
You must orient each interactive product separately so that the pointer is properly
aligned when you touch the product. To do this, open the SMART Notebook control
panel and select Align/Orient the SMART Product. Refer to the Help Center for the
specific procedure to orient each display. To access the Help Center, press the pen
tray’s Help button. For more information on the pen tray buttons, see Pen Tray
Buttons on page 35.
After you set up your multiple displays, each display has touch control. However,
some applications are unable to accept cursor commands/mouse input from more
than one source at a time. To enable the multiple touch setting, refer to the topics in
the Help Center for instructions.
For more information on setting up multiple SMART products, see Connecting Multiple
SMART Board Interactive Whiteboards to One Computer (
