3. Getting your setup ready

To be able to use and setup your device, the minimum amount of cables needed are:

Power to the Flex

HDMI from the Flex to your Interactive display

USB touch out from your Interactive display into the Flex

 

Skärmbild 2024-08-16 100337

USB3.0 port is used for the USB-HDMI adapter explained in 3.3


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