Windows operating system

  • Windows 11

  • Windows 10

OS X operating system software

  • macOS Monterey

Notes 

  • The SMART Podium 624 interactive pen display supports DisplayPort video standards. However, the display’s video input uses a DVI-D connector, so an adapter will be required.

    SeeCable adapters and converters

  • To ensure the best image quality on the interactive pen display, set the connected computer’s display resolution settings to 1920 × 1080.

  • Using a VGA cable longer than 23' (7 m) is not recommended as the video signal quality might degrade. To extend the video signal properly, use a powered extender.

The following receptacles are required on the computer you connect to the interactive pen display.

  • DVI, VGA or HDMI video receptacle

  • Available USB-A receptacle

    Note 

    Some Apple products require a USB 2.0 hub to be installed between the product’s USB 3.0 port and the interactive pen display.

The interactive pen display supports both digital (DVI) and analog (VGA) video connections. The DVI connection typically provides the best picture quality and performance.

Notes 

  • Ensure your computer’s video card is capable of providing a resolution setting of 1920 × 1080.

  • Display of HDCP content requires a video card that is HDCP 1.4 compliant.

  • The interactive pen display passes the video signal through as it is received. Digital In provides Digital Out, and analog provides Analog Out.

You can use the interactive pen display by itself or with another display. You can connect a projector or monitor, to the display’s Video OUT connector. When connected using the Video OUT, the second device mirrors the interactive pen display’s image. Install the interactive pen display before connecting a second device.

Notes 

  • To ensure the best image quality on the devices connected to the interactive pen display, set the device’s display resolution to 1920 × 1080.

  • See the hardware and operating system documentation for more information about configuring your computer and operating system for use with multiple monitors.
