Calculating Breaks
When viewing screens for extended periods, it is recommended to take periodic breaks from viewing. Short breaks of at least 10 minutes are recommended after one (1) hour of continuous viewing.

Taking shorter, more frequent breaks are generally more beneficial than longer, less frequent breaks.

Focus Fatigue (20-20-20 Rule)
To reduce the risk of eye fatigue by constantly looking at the screen, look away from the screen at least every 20 minutes and gaze at a distant object (at least 20 feet away) for at least 20 seconds.

Looking at Distant Objects
While taking breaks, users can further reduce eye strain and dryness by focusing on objects that are further away from them for 10-15 seconds, then gaze at something up close for 10-15 seconds. Repeat this up to 10 times. This exercise reduces the risk of your eyes’ focusing ability to “lock up” after prolonged computer work.

Eye and Neck Exercises
Eye Exercises
Eye exercises can help minimize eye strain. Slowly roll your eyes to the left, right, up, and down. Repeat as many times as needed.



Neck Exercises
Neck exercises can also help minimize eye strain. Relax your arms and let them hang at your sides, bend forward slightly to stretch the neck, turn your head to the right and to the left. Repeat as many times as needed.

vCast

Working with ViewBoard® Cast software (vCast, vCast Pro, and vCastSender), the vCast application will allow the ViewBoard to receive laptop screens (Windows/Mac/Chrome) and mobile (iOS/Android) users’ screens, photos, videos, annotations, and camera(s) that are using the vCastSender application.



NOTE:

• ViewBoard® Cast software, laptops, and mobile devices can connect to both the same subnet and cross subnet by entering the on-screen PIN code.
• Connected devices will show up under Device List on the same subnet connection.
• If the device does not show up under Device List, users will need to key-in the on-screen PIN code.

Network Information

• Ports:

TCP 56789, 25123, 8121 & 8000 (Controlling message port & client device audio transfer)

Display Group Settings

To adjust the Display Group Settings, select the Display Group icon () located in the lower-right corner of the screen.



1. Toggle the "Turn On/Off Display Group" ON to enable the Display Group feature.


NOTE: Other preinstalled ViewBoard Cast devices in the same network will be listed.

2. Select the devices you want to join the display group and select OK to save the settings.


NOTE:

• If the devices you want to group are not listed, you can enter their respective IP address or connecting PIN code.
• The Display Group maximum device limit is six devices.

3. If you frequently connect to the same device, you can select the Star icon () next to the device to add it to your frequently connected devices list, "My List of Devices in Group", for easier Display Group setup and management.


Synchronized Group Screen All the Time

When the “Synchronized group screen all the time” function is toggled ON, it will display a synchronized group screen continuously. If it is toggled OFF, it will work on vCast mirroring only.



NOTE: Select the devices to group first, then toggle the "Synchronized group screen all the time” function ON to avoid interruption.

Share a Screen to the Display Group (One to Many Casting)

After confirming the above settings, you can share your screen to the main display, then the grouped client devices will be synced up to your screen.



Moderator Mode

Moderator Mode allows the moderator to take control of the devices connected to the ViewBoard. To enter Moderator Mode, select the Moderator Mode icon () located in the lower-right corner of the screen.



When enabled, the moderator can view a list of all connected screens in the left floating window and can preview each participant’s screen and then select any of participant’s screen and cast to the ViewBoard’s main screen for presentation. The moderator can also control each participant’s screen, annotate on the ViewBoard, and remove unwanted participants by selecting the close icon (X).



Broadcast

When enabled, the ViewBoard’s screen will be broadcasted to all of the participant’s connected screens simultaneously. The participants can only view the presentation contents until the moderator disables the Broadcast function.



Multiple Screen Sharing

By default, vCast is set to allow multiple screen sharing, but can also be set to single screen sharing. To do this, the moderator can select the Multiple Screen Sharing icon to switch to single screen sharing.

Preview Screen

By default, vCast is set to let the moderator preview the participant’s screen contents prior to sharing to the ViewBoard. Selecting the Preview Screen icon, the Moderator can switch to see the participant’s name only.

Touch

By default, participants can use touch for collaboration after connecting. The moderator can enable/disable the touch function of a participant by selecting the Touch icon in their window.

NOTE:

• Moderator Mode is supported on all vCastSender and AirPlay devices, but mobile devices are limited to a "preview" function. Additionally, mobile Android devices cannot cast sound out.
• When you cast your Windows/Mac/Chrome screen to a ViewBoard, the selected full screen unit will not be broadcasted back to your device to avoid repetitive screen casting.
• The active presenter can touch each of the participant's screens to remotely control casting devices.
• The number of multi-screen presenters on-screen depends on your Windows CPU processor performance and router specifications.

C. Auto Reply *3.2.2

The display will send out the updated data/status automatically without GET query from the host whenever the following data/status is changed by the user through any of the available ways like: remote control unit, front control panel keys, or touch screen.

• Power On/Off
• Input Select
• Brightness
• Backlight
• Volume
• Mute On/Off

Remote Control Pass-through Mode

When the PC sets the Display to Remote Control Pass through mode, the Display will send a 7-byte packet (followed by “CR”) in response to remote control unit (RCU) button activation.

In this mode the RCU will have no effect on the Display function. For example: “Volume+” will not change the volume of the Display, but instead only send the “Volume+” code to the PC over the RS-232 port.
