Connected devices

Connected devices are devices like a laptop that you connect to you CommBox as an input like HDMI. Devices connect to the CommBox via the input ports on the front and back of the screen.

This includes the OPS Slot-in PC which is also an input port. If you have connected an Apple TV, a Microsoft Teams Room device or your laptop via HMDI & USB cables, simply open the launcher and where is says ‘connected devices’ is where you switch over to your desired input.

The launcher will automatically show you only the connected devices and will give you a preview of the content open on that device
