We have just about every classroom set up with a projector and an Elmo brand document camera, and the smartboards are slowly making their way there as well. We used to connect the Elmo through the monitor port passthrough, but have found on the newest model of Elmo, it had to actually be on for it to pass the signal through to the projector. That, and if you simply connect the elmo to the projector with the monitor cable, you don't get to utilize the smartboard software in conjunction with the Elmo.
So instead we plug the Elmo into the PC with the included USB cable, and use the enclosed software to interface with it. Then our PC connects to the projector.

I am not asking for suggestion on which brand/model to look at. I am not clear on how best to "install" them. As far as I can tell there will need to be a cable of one kind or another running up to a projector... Has anyone found an elegant way to route cables that allows for flexibility without a mess? --Michael T.
