Connecting the interactive pen display to other
devices
You can connect another display device, such as a projector or a monitor, directly to the interactive
pen display. The image from the interactive pen display also appears on the other display. When
you connect a projector or a monitor, the video signal from the computer is automatically sent to
the projector or monitor.
NOTE
The display resolution of the connected computer must be set to a resolution supported by a
secondary display device.
To connect a projector or monitor
To connect a projector or monitor to the interactive pen display, connect a video cable from
the display's video out connector to the second display's video in connector. If the second
display has a DVI-D or DVI-I input, use a DVI to DVI cable. If the second display has a VGA
input, use a DVI-A to VGA cable (not included).
NOTES

If you want to show HDCP content, use a video distribution amplifier that is HDCP 1.4
compliant.
