SAMPLE EVENT Mike's 15th birthday party/Sleep over - Xbox games followed by Monster's University. The event will begin in the afternoon at 4:00 pm. It will be setup outdoors in the yard so that there is plenty of room for people to relax and spread out with beanbags and blankets. The unit will need to be setup before guests arrive, but the screen will not be visible until after sunset. That said, there will be music coming from the system, so it will need to be ready before everyone arrives.
Equipment Placement TECH
Connecting the Equipment
Decide on screen placement and orientation, rear projection has been selected for the event. Use the illustration to the left as a general guide to equipment placement. First place a table at the edge of the yard facing the rear of where the screen will be setup. Next place a power board beneath the table and from where the tech is standing place the iPod, Monitor, SmartBox, Xbox and projector on the table in that order working towards the screen (nothing can obstruct the projector facing the screen) Secondly lay out the screen. You will need to pace out the distance required from the end of the projector to the screen surface, and set up the screen there. Next setup the speakers on either side of the screen.
The IPod is connected to the Aux Audio Input (port 6) of the rear of the SmartBox using a 3.5mm – 3.5mm cable Connect the Monitor: Using an HDMI cable plug one end into the monitor and the other end into the rear of the SmartBox monitor HDMI output (port 4). The power cable for the monitor is plugged into the power board beneath the table Connect the Xbox: Using an HDMI cable, plug one end into the Xbox and the other end into the rear of the SmartBox Aux HDMI Input (port 7).

To ensure that the aspect ratio of the Xbox is the same as that of the DVD , you will need to line up a bright scene from the DVD on the Monitor, and then using the HDMI Switcher, change output A (projector) to show the DVD (input 1) briefly. Once this is confirmed, switch output A (projector) back to the Xbox (input 3).
