Quick Orientation Standard Orientation Fine Orientation 10 When Should You Perform an Orientation Procedure? While orientation is the first task performed after configuring the COM port and installing the SMART Board software, the interactive whiteboard may be accidentally jostled or deliberately moved to another location. If this occurs, you’ll need to perform the orientation procedure again. Press the SMART Board icon and select Orient (for Windows operating system) or Orient SMART Board (for Macintosh computers) and follow the on-screen instructions. You can also access this feature by pressing the Orient button in the Boards tab of the SMART Board Control Panel. Which Orientation Level Should You Choose? The SMART Board driver offers three orientation levels: Quick (9 points), Standard (20 points) and Fine (80 points). The level you choose should be based on the time you have available to perform the procedure and the degree of tracking accuracy you require. • Quick orientation requires only nine presses to complete and is well-suited for most purposes. If your board is accidentally moved or jostled during a presentation, use the Quick orientation to re-orient quickly and with minimal interruption. • Standard orientation requires 20 presses and provides a slightly higher level of accuracy suitable for most high resolution systems. • Fine orientation involves pressing on 80 individual crosses. While the Fine setting is the most time-consuming to complete, it is recommended for higher-resolution systems that may require a more precise orientation. To orient the board with extreme precision: 1 Press the SMART Board icon and select Control Panel. 2 In the Boards tab, press the Advanced button. For Mac OS X computers, the Edit Advanced Settings dialog box will appear. For Mac OS 9.x or earlier, the Pick the Orientation Precision dialog appears after you click the Orient button. Proceed to step 4. For Windows computers, select Board Settings from the drop-down menu. The Edit Advanced Board Settings dialog box will appear. 3 Click the Pick the Orientation Precision tab. 4 Once you have determined the Orientation level you prefer, select it. 5 Press Apply, and then OK (or Next for Mac OS 9.x and earlier). The Boards tab will reappear. 6 Press the Orient button. 7 Press your finger squarely and firmly in the center of each red cross as it appears. When you’ve pressed on the final red cross, the orientation screen will disappear. NOTE: For Windows and Mac OS X users, if you choose to orient with more points than the default nine-point orientation, this higher-level orientation screen will become the new default (i.e., the higher-level screen will appear when you next select Orient). To restore the nine-point default, return to the Pick the Orientation Level tab (steps 2 and 3 above) and select Quick (9 points). SMART Board User’s Guide
Adjusting the Projected Image You must make a few final adjustments to the projector to ensure a focused image that fits within the SMART Board bezel (frame) at the top and bottom, with a margin of approximately 3/8" on both right and left sides. NOTE: The 3/8" margin described above is an optimal measurement. Alignment can vary: in some instances, the image can fill the entire screen; in others, the margin can be greater than 3/8", but be perfectly satisfactory as long as it’s even on all sides. Many projector-related problems can be fixed right at the projector itself, by shifting the projector to the right or left, tilting it or using the zoom lens to sharpen the focus or expand and contract the image. Keystoning problems can also be solved by raising or lowering the front or back of the projector until the sides of the image are parallel to the SMART Board bezel. A few special problems need to be fixed at the software level by adjusting computer or projector settings. These image problems are discussed below. If the Projected Image Is the Wrong Size or Distorted If, after orienting, you find that the projected image does not properly fill the screen, the resolution settings of your projector and your computer may not match. It’s very important that computer and projector resolutions correspond exactly. If they don’t match, the onscreen image will not properly fill the interactive whiteboard screen or may suffer from distortion or shimmering. First ensure that the projector is set to its optimal image resolution. Refer to your projector’s manual for the true resolution of your projector, and reset it if necessary. While these instructions may indicate that resolutions other than the optimal one are permitted, you should not set the resolution to any of these other settings. For example, if the projector’s true resolution is 800 x 600, but it’s also capable of displaying at 640 x 480, set both the computer and the projector to the true resolution − 800 x 600. To set your computer resolution to match the projector resolution (Windows operating systems): 1 Click the Windows Start > Settings > Control Panel. NOTE: You may need to perform the following procedure at your computer monitor, as resolution differences can distort the image on the board to the point where visibility is impaired. The Control Panel directory will appear. 2 Double-click on Display. The Display Properties dialog box will appear. 3 Click on the Settings tab. 4 In Desktop, Screen area or Screen Resolution, click and drag the sliding bar to adjust the pixel setting to match the resolution of your projector. 5 Click the Apply button, and then the OK button. 6 Restart your computer, if required.
