Recommended Computer Setup:
1) To obtain the best picture on the w hiteboard, the format of the computer video
output (its resolution) and of the projector must be the same as that of the
whiteboard.
Therefore, for w hiteboards in format 4/3 (Oliboard 78S and Oliboard 78D), it is
recommended to use an output resolution corresponding to the 4/3 format (e.g.
1024x768 or 800x600).
For a w hiteboard in format 16:9 (Oliboard 95D), it is recommended to use an output
resolution corresponding to the 16:9 format (e.g. 1280x800).
2) While using the w hiteboard, the computer connected could enter “ stand-by” mode.
To avoid this, it is advisable to deactivate the screen-saver and energy-saving
functions.
