Connecting your 
interactive whiteboard 
to a computer

Overview

Your SMART Board 480 interactive whiteboard’s USB interface enables you to 

connect your interactive whiteboard to your computer. Because the included USB 

cable provides both a digital signal and power from your computer to your interactive 

whiteboard, you don’t need an additional power supply.

Your SMART Board 480 interactive whiteboard system supports one interactive 

whiteboard per computer connection on a primary display only.

Matching your computer’s resolution to your 
projector’s resolution

Ensure that the resolution settings for your projector and computer match. If your 

computer’s resolution doesn’t match the projector’s native resolution, the image 

doesn’t properly fill your interactive whiteboard’s surface and can shimmer or appear 

distorted. 

Set the projector to its optimal image resolution by following the instructions included 

with your projector, and then set your computer’s resolution to match. If you need help 

changing your computer’s resolution, see the instructions included with your operating 

system.

You might need to adjust your computer’s refresh rate to obtain the best results. Set 

the computer to an initial refresh rate of 60 Hz, and then adjust this rate up or down to 

determine the ideal refresh rate. For more information on changing your computer’s 

refresh rate, see the instructions included with your operating system.
