How to connect
Limitation
•
Works as mouse operation / single touch
•
Support multi touch (touch digitizer), but Touch pen does NOT
work.
Technical
Background
•
Mac OS is the system which does not support touch operation,
essentially.
•
Some of our Interactive White Board product supports Mac OS
with Multi touch operation, but it emulates function of touch pad
and it requires special driver.
•
It is not provided special driver because it is designed for
Windows.
•
PN-CD701 supports Windows pen-digitizer input by touch
hardware itself. It is distinguished whether finger touch or pen
touch.
•
In case of using it with Chromebook, touch pen does not work
because Chrome OS can not recognize pen-digitizer input.

Connection method 1: USB type-C (If the device has USB type-C port))
* It is common for both Mac OS and Chrome book
Connect by using USB type-C cable
- Video, sound, touch signal, LAN connection and also power delivery are available by the cable
- Touch function works with no special driver
Connection method 2: HDM and USB A-B cable (If the device does NOT have USB type-C port))
Connect by using both HDMI and USB A-B cable
- Video and sound are available by HDMI cable
- Touch signal and LAN connection are available by USB A-B cable
- Power delivery is NOT available (AC adapter required)
- Touch function works with no special driver
PN-CD701 is designed for using with Windows devices.
It supports both Mac OS and Chromebook but there are some limitations.

Note
3. Outline of USB type-C
USB type-C is a new standard which has various capabilities for connecting IT devices.
Some of these capabilities are unique to USB type-C.
Please see descriptions below how to utilize new functions.
Major functions of USB type-C
- Connect devices and data transfer (Same as USB 2.0 but higher speed)
-“DP alt mode” which means that it works as a DisplayPort to transmit video.
-“Power delivery” function enables user to supply power up to 100W (20V/5A)

LAN connection becomes enabled when you
connect your PC by USB type-C.
But in case of PN-CD701, it is necessary to do
some additional procedures to enable LAN function.
Please refer next section.

◆When a USB type-C cable is connected, the functions shown it the table below are available.
◆The USB Type C cable may also provide power to the connected PC.
Contact your local electrical contractor before running the supplied cable under carpets,
behind walls or over ceiling tiles, as regulations may vary.
◆If you use 8m USB type-C cable(PN-ZU01), please observe the following points. It may cause a fire.
Caution for running USB type-C cable

•Do not use the USB type-C cable rolled/tied up.
•Do not lay the USB type-C cable under the carpet.
•Do not to be routed inside the building structure (e.g., walls, ceilings, etc.).
•If a cable is damaged, never use the cable.
•If you connect this cable to PN-CD701, please fix the cable with a clamp.
• This cable has a “SOURCE” connector and a “DISPLAY” connector.
Be careful not to mistake the orientation.

“In case you using USB-C cable from your market (not
delivered with PN-CD701), the take care the this cable
should be supported power charging of 60W or more.”
[Note]

◆USB type-C Out can be used for video output.
◆About “Multi board”

•Only video signals are output from USB type-C Out.
•The signal of Wireless Cast can not be output.
•Do not convert the cable from the USB type-C cable.
•Only the same display or allowed display is supported for the display connected to the Out side.
3. Outline of USB type-C
You can display video on a second device using USB-C Out.
The USB-C cable enables touch without connecting a touch cable.
If you want to touch on the second display, please connect as follows.

4. Conditions of network connections to the PN-CD701
PN-CD701 has 2 wired LAN ports.
One is “LAN 1”, and the other is “LAN 2”.
Each port serves a different function, see below for details of each port.
IoT sensor
Fig. 1 : Backside of PN-CD701
LAN 2 : LAN port for output data & control of PN-CD701
The port is mandatory for using SWS
(Synappx WorkSpacesTM).
Collected data by IoT sensors are uploaded to internet via
this LAN port.
Furthermore, the main body will be controlled via this port by
using “Crestron connected” devices.
LAN 1 : LAN port for connecting external PC/s
LAN 1 connection is routed to USB type-C and USB-B
ports. The connected PC device will receive internet
access via the USB type-C or USB-B port.
(Please confirm this method of network access is
acceptable with the network IT administrator).

Internet
LAN –USB converter
User who has a compatible USB type-C
connection on their PC will also get a LAN
connection via the USB type-C cable from
PN-CD701.
Advantage: Smart connectivity
User can quickly connect video,
touch, LAN and power delivery by
using only one USB type-C cable.
In case of using a PC which does not support USB type-C
USB cable for touch
HDMI cable
Network hub or switch

to AC outlet
Note:
Please DO NOT connect both USB type C cable and HDMI/USB
type B (for touch) cable to same PC simultaneously.
it may cause of malfunction.
