CHAPTER 1 WELCOME Abut this guide This guide intrduces yu t the key features and cmpnents f yur SMART Rm System and explains hw t use thse features and cmpnents during Lync meetings. This guide in intended fr individuals wh use rm systems. Other dcumentatin and resurces are available fr individuals wh are respnsible fr installing and administering rm systems. Abut yur rm system Yur rm system features ne r tw SMART Bard interactive flat panels, a Lync appliance, a tabletp cnsle, a high-definitin camera, micrphnes, speakers and cables fr use with an ptinal cmputer. Using the installed Lync Rm System sftware, yu can start a meeting and cnnect with ther individuals r meeting rms with a single tap n the cnsle r the interactive flat panels. Yu can write r draw n the interactive flat panels using the whitebard feature, cnnect an ptinal cmputer t share its screen and share files with cnnected individuals and meeting rms in real time. Features Yur rm system includes the fllwing features. Integratin with Lync The SMART Rm System integrates with yur rganisatin s existing Lync infrastructure, enabling yu t schedule meetings, remtely jin meetings, and share Micrsft PwerPint files using the Lync client sftware already installed n yur cmputer. Simple startup Once the rm system turns n, the cnsle and the interactive flat panels shw the meeting rm s schedule, including when the meeting rm is bked and when it s available. Yu can start a scheduled meeting by pressing the meeting s blck in the schedule n either the cnsle r the interactive flat panels. Lync Rm System sftware enables yu t cnnect t remte participants and shares vide and audi. Alternatively, yu can start ad hc meetings r whitebard sessins with a single press f the cnsle r interactive flat panels. Autmatic sharing f vide and audi When yu start r jin meetings, the rm system shares vide and audi autmatically withut requiring any manual setup n yur part. The rm system s high definitin camera, micrphnes and speakers facilitate cmmunicatin during the meeting. 2
CHAPTER 1 WELCOME Cllabratin Using Lync Rm System sftware s whitebard feature, yu can write r draw ntes n the interactive flat panels, autmatically sharing with remte participants. Yu can als write r draw ver PwerPint files attached t the scheduled meeting as well as cnnect yur laptps r a rm cmputer t share and interact with the cmputers displays. Presence detectin The interactive flat panels have presence detectin sensrs that can detect peple up t 5m (16') away. If the sensrs detect peple in the meeting rm, the rm system turns n. If the sensrs dn t detect peple in the meeting rm fr a specified perid f time, the rm system enters Standby mde. Cmpnents Yur rm system cnsists f the fllwing majr cmpnents: Part n.

CHAPTER 1 WELCOME SMART Bard interactive flat panels SMART Bard interactive flat panels feature SMART s prprietary DViT (Digital Visin Tuch) technlgy n a 16:9 LCD screen with e-led backlight. DViT technlgy enables yu t d the fllwing: Interact with cntent by pressing it with yur fingers Write digital ink using yur fingers r ne f the pens prvided Erase digital ink using yur fists, yur palms r the eraser prvided During a meeting, the interactive flat panels shw vide, shared PwerPint files and vide input frm ptinally cnnected cmputers. In additin, yu can use the whitebard feature t recrd ntes and share them with thers. Fr infrmatin n which interactive flat panel mdel is included with yur rm system and the differences between these mdels, see Cmparing rm sizes n page 6. Lync appliance The Lync appliance includes Lync Rm System sftware as well as SMART Prduct Drivers. Lync Rm System sftware enables yu t start, jin and facilitate meetings and cnnect with thers thrugh yur rganisatin s Lync infrastructure. SMART Prduct Drivers enables the tuch features f the interactive flat panels and the peratin f the all cmpnents in the rm system. In rm systems with SMART Bard 8055i-G5 interactive flat panels, the Lync appliance is installed in an enclsure munted t the wall behind the left interactive flat panel. In rm systems with SMART Bard 8070i-G4 and 8084i-G4 interactive flat panels, the Lync appliance is installed in a slt n the bttm f the left interactive flat panel. Cnsle The cnsle is the rm system s primary display. It enables yu t access and cntrl the features f Lync Rm System sftware during meetings. The cnsle is typically lcated n the meeting rm table. Like the interactive flat panels, the cnsle features a 16:9 LCD screen with tuch technlgy, enabling yu t interact with buttns and ther cntrls by pressing them. Camera The high definitin camera autmatically captures rm vide during meetings. Yu can temprarily stp the vide r shutter the camera fr privacy purpses. 4
CHAPTER 1 WELCOME In mst meeting rms, digital pan, tilt and zm (DPTZ) and the camera s 109 field f view ensure that all meeting participants are captured regardless f where they are in the meeting rm. The camera is installed n the tp f the interactive flat panel in rms with ne interactive flat panel r between the interactive flat panels in rms with tw interactive flat panels. Table micrphnes and audi prcessr The table micrphnes autmatically capture audi during meetings. Yu can temprarily mute the micrphnes fr privacy purpses. Yur rm system cmes with tw table micrphnes. Yur rganisatin can purchase additinal table micrphnes (see Additinal table micrphnes n the next page). Speakers The speakers transmit audi frm remte participants during a meeting. The rm system s audi-prcessing features eliminate echs and in-rm audi feedback. The speakers are installed n either side f the interactive flat panels. Vide cnnectin harness Yu can cnnect the vide cnnectin harness s HDMI cable r VGA cable t a cmputer t display the cmputer s vide utput n an interactive flat panel and share it with remte participants. The vide cnnectin harness s cnnectrs are typically lcated n the meeting rm table. SMART Rm System USB Bridge When cmbined with the vide cnnectin harness, the SMART Rm System USB Bridge enables yu t cnnect yur laptps r a rm cmputer t the rm system. When yu cnnect the SMART Rm System USB Bridge t a cmputer, yu can interact with the cmputer by tuching the interactive flat panel s surface. The SMART Rm System USB Bridge s cnnectr is typically lcated n the meeting rm table. Fr mre infrmatin, see Using the SMART Rm System USB Bridge n page 21. Accessries Optinal accessries fr the SMART Rm System include the fllwing: Additinal table micrphnes Wall stand kit 5
CHAPTER 1 WELCOME NOTE Fr accessry part numbers and rdering infrmatin, refer t the specificatins (see Resurces fr decisin makers n page 9). Additinal table micrphnes Yur rm system cmes with tw table micrphnes. Yur rganisatin can purchase and cnnect up t three additinal table micrphnes fr each rm system if needed fr a ttal f up t five table micrphnes. Wall stand kit The wall stand kit includes a wall stand fr each interactive flat panel in yur rm system and the cable tracking. The wall stand transfers sme f the weight frm the wall t the flr and is required fr metal stud walls that can t supprt the full weight f the interactive flat panel. The cable tracking cvers cables running acrss the flr frm the interactive flat panels t the meeting rm table. Cmparing rm sizes The SMART Rm System cmes in six sizes.
