About your capture board
The SMARTkapp capture board enables you to collaborate with others in a simple but powerful
way. Write and draw on the capture board like you would a regular dry erase board. You can then
connect a Bluetooth®-enabled mobile device to the capture board by scanning a QuickResponse
(QR) code or by tapping the NearField Communication (NFC) tag. When you first connect your
mobile device, you’re directed to the AppleAppStore or GooglePlay™ to download the
SMARTkapp app. After you download and install the app, you can use it to connect to your
capture board and share content with others.
The SMARTkapp capture board product consists of the following components:
lCapture board
lDry erase markers and eraser
lMounting bracket and hardware
lSMARTkapp app

Capture board
The capture board features SMART’s proprietary DViT® (DigitalVisionTouch)
technology on a 42" (107cm) writing surface. DViT technology captures the
notes you make on the capture board using the dry erase markers and eraser.
The capture board’s Bluetooth® 4.0 wireless technology (for Apple mobile
devices) or Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR wireless technology (for Android™ mobile
devices) then transfers your notes as a digital image to a connected mobile
device. Alternatively, you can save your notes to a FAT-formatted USB drive by
connecting it to the capture board’s USB 2.0 Type-A receptacle. You can also
use the capture board’s standard 500 mA USB 2.0 Type-A receptacle to charge
your smart phone.
Dry erase markers and eraser
Your capture board comes with three dry erase markers and an eraser that are specially designed
to work with the captureboard.
The capture board includes holders for one marker and the eraser as well as a storage area (on the
back of the capture board) for the other two markers.
Use the markers to write or draw, and use the eraser to erase.
Mounting bracket and hardware
You can mount your capture board on a wall using the supplied mounting bracket and hardware.
Alternatively, you can mount the capture board using a standard VESA® 400 mm × 400 mm
mounting bracket.

When you first connect a mobile device, you’re prompted to install an app. You can then use the
app to share notes you have written on your capture board with others.
About QR codes and NFC
As noted in the previous section, you can connect your mobile device to your capture board by
scanning the capture board’s QR code or by tapping the capture board’s NFC tag.
lA QR code is a type of bar code. If your mobile device has a rear-facing camera and a
QRcode scanning app, you can scan QR codes like the one on your capture board. Your
mobile device then executes the QR codes’ commands. Typically, QR codes’ commands
display messages or open web pages.

“tapping”) the other device.
NOTE
Currently, you are unable to connect the capture board to an iPhone 6 using the mobile
device’s NFC support.
TIP
Refer to your mobile device’s documentation for the location of its NFC radio. When
connecting your mobile device to the capture board, you might need to move the mobile
device back and forth until its NFC radio detects the capture board’s NFC tag.
