The Flex can be configured to work with multiple existing setups. They have been categorized into two categories, the Single Display setup and the Companion Display setup.

The Single Setup is recommended if the large interactive display is the only screen in the meeting room. The Companion Setup is recommended if you will use a separate display for video meetings

Depending on your needs, please find the appropriate setup for your space and follow the connection instructions.

Note: In some setups, a third-party splitter is used to project the contents of the Flex in to your choice of meeting software. This is intended to be used to show what's happening on the Flex to remote participants (eg. local wireless screen sharing or whiteboarding). See a more detailed view of HDMI splitter usage in section 3.3.

3.3 Usage of the HDMI Splitter

The intended use for the HDMI splitter is to project a duplicated image to your meeting software so that the remote participants can also se locally shared content. For example, if someone in the physical meeting room is sharing through Miracast, you will be able to share this with your remote meeting participants. 

For Microsoft Teams Rooms, press the Share button and select Connected device.

For Zoom Rooms, press the Share Content, then tap Share to Meeting.

Some all-in-one video bars can only handle a 1080p signal. Flex output is intended to be used at 4K resolution. In some cases, an HDMI splitter with independently configurable output on each of the ports (one to the Interactive Display, one to the ingest port of the all-in-one video bar solution) is needed.

 

3.3.1 Flatfrog recommended HDMI splitters

StarTech ST122HD20S

Note: If your all-in-one video bar supports 4K ingest, you can leave the StarTech ST122HD20S on default settings (Auto & OFF/OFF)

4. Powering up for the first time

When powering up your Flex for the first time you'll be greeted by the Start Screen.

Note: If you have not connected to the internet through the Ethernet port, you will be greeted by a WiFi network selection view.

You have the option to customize your wallpaper by providing the full URL to a .jpeg or .png file, ensuring that the file size is under 10 MB. For optimal visual quality, we recommend using an image with a resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels (4K). Be mindful to choose an image that complements the TeamTablet Flex layout without causing distractions. Once you input the link, the image will be uploaded to the TeamTablet Flex. You can toggle it on or off using the designated button.
You can have totally three different background images to switch between.

Please note that the URL is only required during the initial upload of the image.

Note: Future software updates will allow you to change settings through a centralized system.
