l
an HD source (i.e. a computer, a tablet, or a phone)
l
the appropriate cables or adapters to convert the output to DVI (if needed)
l
optionally, an audio source such as a microphone or the headphone jack from a laptop (note that the audio
signal sent over HDMI cables is not supported)

ideally, a network with Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
l
a computer with a web browser connected to the same network (this is referred to as the “admin” computer in
the steps below)
These instructions include steps for setting up and configuring audio. Skip these optional steps if you do
not want to configure an audio source at this time.
