Freezing or hiding the screen
You can temporarily freeze or hide the contents on the screen using the display’s freeze and screen shade
features.
Freezing the screen
You can temporarily freeze the screen by pressing the Freeze button on the front control panel or remote
control. This is particularly useful when you want to pause a video, an animation, or other moving images.
NOTE
Freezing the screen does not pause applications that are running on the connected computer. It simply
freezes the display of those applications.
TIP
You can write or draw over the screen while it is frozen (see Writing, drawing, and erasing on page23). If
the iQ experience is enabled, you can then save the screenshot of your writing or drawing to the Files
Library (see Using the iQ experience Files Library).
To unfreeze the screen, press the Freeze button again.
Showing and hiding the screen shade
For SMARTBoard MX (V3), MX (V3) Pro, MX (V2-C), MX (V2-C) Pro, MX (V2), MX (V2) Pro, and
MX Pro series displays.
You can temporarily hide the contents of the screen behind a virtual screen shade by pressing the Screen
Shade button on the front control panel or remote control.
To remove the screen shade and reveal the screen contents, press the Screen Shade button again.
