Users

Do you have videos to show how to use the IFP?

Can you connect a USB Webcam to the IFP and use it with conference software?

Yes, you can use any USB Webcam, including V7 Webcams. In order to use ZOOM, TEAMs, or other conference apps, you’ll need to connect a system that can support the application.

The way we recommend using webcams and conference room software is with the included Bytello Share from a computer which is in the same room as the conference room.

Simply connect the camera to the IFP, then use the Device Sync mode (see the Devices to IFP video here: https://www.v7world.com/ifp-screenshare and the button at the top-right for Device Sync which allows them to connect to the camera connected to the IFP).

Or you can use a USB-C (or HDMI + USB) connection from your device and either use full screen, or Picture in Picture mode to run your conference on the IFP screen.

Why does Bytello Share screen sharing sometimes disconnect?

Check your firmware and wireless network settings:
  • Check that the IFP is at latest firmware
  • Ensure you are using the latest version of Bytello Share on the devices and the IFP
  • Check the wireless network and environment. Check for wireless interference (metal objects, too many wireless devices, etc.). Check for too much wireless network traffic.
  • Try enabling Hotspot mode on the IFP so you don't need to connect through the facilities wireless network and go direct (Settings/Wi-Fi/Hotspot to enable – please check if this is OK with your IT Administrator)
  • Try a wired network connection and see if you get disconnects
  • Do a wireless site survey in their facility to see if their Wireless network is stable

Can I open Google Drive (Docs, Slides, Sheets, etc.) files on the IFP?

The IFP cannot currently open Google Doc and Sheets and Slides files directly in the finder as they are all proprietary google drive files which can only be opened up in the web browser. Google doesn't allow these used unless you are using a browser (Google Drive app for Android is only available on Android through the play store and Google doesn't currently allow IFPs to have the Play Store).

We recommend to open Google Drive formatted files directly in the web browser if they want to open them directly from the IFP. Or they can convert them to office files or PDF and open them directly on the IFP.

Where can I download the latest version of Bytello Share?

How do I make recordings of the screen on V7 IFP to save meeting or lesson sessions for later viewing?

The Screen Record app can be found in the menu here:

This allows you to make an MP4 video when you start the recording. You can then save this file to the IFP and transport it to a USB Drive or Cloud Drive in the MP4 format for viewing on any system.

How do I clean the IFP?

Turn the IFP device OFF and unplug the power cable. Spray a screen cleaner (non-abrasive, non-alcohol, non-ammonia detergent spray) on a microfiber cloth (do not spray directly on the IFP display) and wipe the surface without applying too much pressure. Let the IFP dry before reconnecting power and turning it back on.

V7 IFP Touch not working?

There are few reasons why touch will not work on IFP panels. Below is a description of reasons why touch may not be working and steps to resolve it.
  1. Connectivity Issue from Host Device (such as PC).
    • If customer is connecting host device (such as PC) to IFP, please check the cable connections are correct and well connected. USB-C cable must be of type USB 3.2 specification and if using HDMI cable, USB A to B cable needs to be connected for touch functionality to work.
  2. Touch Lock is Enabled in IFP
    • Make sure Touch Lock – is disabled by pressing the red button on the remote control to toggle lock/unlock functions
    • If after above, the problem persists then we need to go to IFP’s admin menu to make sure “touch forbidden” is disabled. To go admin menu (INPUT>1>3>7>9 on remote) and find the touch forbidden setting to disable it
  3. Firmware on Touch Panel
    • If for some reason, touch firmware is not loaded properly – you can try to resolve this by going to admin menu (INPUT>1>3>7>9 on remote) and selecting “INIT TOUCH PANEL” to reset touch settings
    • If problem persists, it maybe IFP firmware update was not installed properly. This can be resolved by downloading the latest stable version of firmware from our website and following installation instructions
  4. Memory Issue
    • At times due to crash in certain application or thru extensive use, memory maybe corrupted. In this case, simply reboot (re-starting) IFP may clear all memory and resolve this issue. After following all the steps above, its good idea to restart the unit to ensure the settings have taken effect by restarting the unit (long press the power button).
  5. Hardware Issue
    • Use the built-in touchpanel tool to check the signal: Admin menu (INPUT>1>3>7>9 on remote) ->Upgrade-> TouchPanelTools, press “Enter”, press and hold the “App version” -> select signal test.
Normally, all tests should pass. IF there is any “NG” or “FAIL”, this will require a hardware repair. Please provide screen shot of above test result to tech support so they can coordinate service of your unit.
