Touch Monitor Support and Required Components
The VisualBoard application is compatible with the following touch monitors.
For RealPresence Group 500 and 700 systems, the VisualBoard application works only as monitor 2, so the
monitor must be connected to monitor 2 HDMI monitor output. For RealPresence Group 300 and 310
systems, you must purchase the second monitor option key to use the VisualBoard application.
You need the following components:
● HDMI cable
● DVI-HDMI adaptor (optional)
● USB cable
● USB memory device (optional)
To install a monitor as a second monitor:
1 Connect the video cable by doing one of the following:
 Connect one end of an HDMI cable to the HDMI Input port on the monitor. Connect the other end
of the HDMI cable to the Monitor 2 HDMI Output port on the RealPresence Group Series system.
 If your monitor has only a DVI input port, use a DVI-HDMI adaptor to connect it to the HDMI output
port of the RealPresence Group system.
2 Connect the touch monitor to the system.
If you are using a Polycom UC Board sensor with your current content monitor, the sensor is
connected to the RealPresence Group system.
a Connect one end of a USB cable to the USB port on the touch monitor.
