LinQ software
With LinQ software, you can link a laptop to a SMART interactive product. After you establish a
connection, you can use LinQ software to show the laptop’s video output on the interactive screen.
To establish a communication link between the 4000i and a laptop, you must:
•
install and open LinQ software on the laptop computer.
•
be connected to the same network as the 4000i’s internal computer.
•
start the mobile device manager software on the 4000i’s internal computer.
For more information about LinQ software and mobile device manager software, see

Changing the Projector’s Display Source
You can use the three source buttons on the control panel to change the projector’s video and
audio input source. Choose from the internal computer, a connected guest laptop or an external
computer, a VCR or a DVD player.
NOTE: It takes a few seconds for the 4000i to switch from one input source to another. During that
time, all control panel buttons are disabled.
Press the VCR/DVD Player button on the control panel.
If both a VCR (composite video connection) and a DVD player (S-video connection) are connected
to the projector, pressing this button switches between the two. There is a three-second delay
before the alternate display source appears.
When you press the VCR/DVD Player button, you switch to the input source that was last active.
For example, if you view a DVD and then switch the display source to the internal computer,
pressing the VCR/DVD Player button will switch the display source to the DVD player.
IMPORTANT
The 4000i is optimized for use with a high-resolution computer data signal.
