How a Smart Display Works
A Smart Display uses wireless technology to give you access to your Windows XP Professional-based computer from anywhere in your home.1 You'll enjoy access to your applications, information, and services just as if you were sitting at your home computer desk.
Wireless Technology
Similar to a cordless home telephone, a Smart Display uses wireless technology to connect to a PC running Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 1. The wireless connection is made possible by an 802.11b wireless adapter that lets the Smart Display access the PC from up to 100 feet away.
The software that forms the foundation of this new technology includes:
| • | Windows XP Professional. The new standard in reliability and performance, Windows XP Professional includes sophisticated digital media support, plus the critical wireless support and Remote Desktop technology necessary to extend the Windows XP experience anywhere in the home using a Smart Display. |
| • | Windows CE for Smart Displays. Building on the Windows CE .NET operating system, Windows CE for Smart Displays supports fast, simple device setup and easy-to-follow wizards. It also helps ensure seamless connectivity to the computer with auto-logon and auto-reconnect, and provides an intuitive, mobile, stylus-centric computing experience. |
Freedom and Control
For the control you're used to with your desktop PC, the Smart Display includes:
| • | Stylus and touch-sensitive screen |
| • | Complete, customizable, on-screen keyboard |
| • | Writing pad with handwriting recognition |
| • | Right-click and hover options |
| • | Support for a wireless or USB mouse and keyboard |
| 1 | Normal operating range will cover all of most homes, but range may vary dependent on manufacturer hardware, connection speed, and environmental conditions. |
