Video cards
Your interactive pen display supports both digital (DVI) and analog (VGA) video signals. If you’re
updating your video card, complete the video card hardware and software installation before
connecting your interactive pen display. If you have another display that’s compatible with your video
card, you can connect that display to the card in order to verify the video card is operating correctly.
Although you can quickly connect the interactive pen display to a video card with either DVI or VGA
signals, a DVI signal generally results in better performance. If your display has a digital in and digital
out, there will be no conversion in the display.
N  N O T E
l Your interactive pen display doesn't convert video signal and simply passes the signal
through as it is received. Digital In will be Digital Out and Analog In will be Analog Out.
l Depending on the capabilities of your video card and operating system, you may be able to
set up your interactive pen display as a mirrored, extended or independent display. For more
information, see your video card documentation.
Monitors and projectors
You can use your interactive pen display as a standalone interactive display or with another display.
You can connect a second device, such as a projector or a monitor, to the Video OUT receptacle on
your interactive pen display. When connected using the Video OUT, the second device mirrors the
image on your interactive pen display. Complete the interactive pen display installation before
connecting a second device.
