Preparation:

Determine the type of USB port you have on your computer to see which specific cables are required.

Scenario 1:

If your laptop has a USB-C port as shown on this Apple PC and Windows PC, you will require a USB-C Video Monitor Cable.

💡 Note: This is our most recommended connection type.

Instructions:

  1. Connect the USB-C Video Monitor Cable from your computer USB-C port to the #4-Touch USB-C port on Vibe Board.

  2. Touch the HDMI icon on the launch bar to open the Input Sources menu.

  3. Press the "4.TOUCH" Switch button

  4. Then you will have screen-casting/annotation/touchback.

💡 Note: you need to go into "Full-Screen Mode" for "touchback" to work.After the screen-casting has been connected, if you split the screen, touch the Vibe screen and you will see a button in the right corner to put the screen back into full-screen mode.

Scenario 2:

If your laptop does not have a USB-C port, but only has a USB-A port, as shown in this PC, you will require an HDMI cable and a USB-A/USB-C cable to achieve both screen-casting/touchback. Annotation is not available for this connection type.

Instructions:

  1. Connect the HDMI from your computer to the HDMI-IN port on the Vibe Board and plug the USB-A/USB-C cable from the USB-A port of your computer to the #4-Touch USB-C port on Vibe Board.

  2. Touch the HDMI icon on the launch bar to open the Input Sources menu.

  3. Press the "5.HDMI IN" Switch button

  4. You will have both screen-casting/touchback. Annotation is not available for this connection type.

💡NOTE: If the Touch functionality is not working, then try a different USB-A to USB-C cable, as some charging cables may not work with this configuration. Please try another cable or use the one we have tested here:
USB - A/C to USB-C Video Cable

Scenario 3:

If you only want to have a standard HDMI connection with screen-casting, you will only require an HDMI cable.

Instructions:

  1. Connect the HDMI from your computer to the HDMI-IN port on the Vibe Board.

  2. Touch the HDMI icon on the launch bar to open the Input Sources menu.

  3. Press the "5.HDMI IN" Switch button

  4. You will have standard screen-casting. Touchback and annotation will not be available for this connection type.
