Factor Considerations
Visibility
The display’s screen is clearly visible to all users in the room. SMART
recommends users sit within a 178° viewing area:
Note
The viewing area depends on the display’s resolution and a variety of
other factors. For more information, see the knowledge base article,
Recommended viewing distances and viewing angles for SMARTBoard
interactive displays.
Lighting
The location is not near bright light sources, such as windows or strong
overhead lighting.
Light sources can cause glare on the display’s screen, reducing its visibility.
Sources of strong infrared light can also affect the display’s touch system.
Tip
To reduce light interference, install blinds or shades on windows or
skylights and install switches to dim or turn off any lights shining directly on
the display’s screen. Keep in mind that sunlight can come through windows
at different angles at different times of the year.
Acoustics
The room has good acoustics (see Configuring your SMARTBoard 6000S for
the best audio performance).
Environment and
ventilation
l
The location meets the environmental requirements in the display’s
specifications (see
More information
on page19).
l
The display isn’t subjected to strong vibrations or dust.
l
Ventilation systems don’t blow air directly on the display.
l
There is adequate ventilation or air conditioning around the display so that
heat can flow away from it and the mounting equipment.
SMARTrecommends at least 2" (5 cm) of space on all sides of the display for
proper airflow.
l
If you plan to install the display in a recessed area, there is at least 4"(10cm)
of space between the display and the recessed walls to enable ventilation
and cooling.
