ThinkHub is a visual collaboration tool designed to help you ideate, collaborate, and innovate. By consolidating all the moving pieces of a brainstorming session, ThinkHub works with the same devices, content and software that you already use, meaning almost zero setup time to initiate ThinkHub sessions, and more efficient and productive meetings with your peers.

First, install the T1V application on your device by visiting:

 



When ThinkHub has not been interacted with for a set amount of time, it will display this screen:

IPAddress and Key Code
Once you have connected to a ThinkHub device, that device will automatically appear in your list of ‘Recent Connections’ - this allows you to quickly connect to future sessions (note: you must use the IP Address for the ThinkHub to remember your ‘Recent Connections’). Select the room you wish to connect to, and you’ll be prompted for the password to join.

As an additional layer of security, the password is located in the upper right corner of the Canvas, and is required to connect devices to the display via the T1V application. Once connected, you will see the following screen:

All connected devices will appear in the devices section of the Canvas tray. Each device will display as a preview thumbnail until you tap or drag the thumbnail to share to the Canvas. At the base of the preview thumbnail, the name of the device displays as overlay text for additional reference.

To help you get ideas and thoughts onto the Canvas quickly, the ThinkHub includes several apps: Web Browser, Note,Sketch, and Group. You can access all four of these apps from the bottom corners of the Canvas.

Each piece of content available to you on the ThinkHub Canvas comes with its own set of user tools. Or, what we call the content tray. The content tray is the same for all types of content, so no matter if you’ve opened a Note, Sketch, PDF, video, or image, your tray will be consistent and hold the same user tools.To activate a content tray, tap inside the content window. You will see the content tray appear, always anchored to the bottom left corner of the content window. While the content tray is open, you can not flick or drag/drop content windows. To close the content tray, tap the collapse button on the bottom left of the window.

Each ThinkHub Room consists of ThinkHub station (aka ‘Instructor Station’, and a ViewHub station(s) (aka ‘Student Station’). The number of ThinkHub and ViewHub stations can vary, all that is required is a minimum of one ThinkHub station and one ViewHub station. To broadcast the content window from the ThinkHub station to a ViewHub station(s), select the 'CAST' icon located in the upper-right corner of the content window.

The menu is broken into a series of tabs and submenus. All submenus can be detached by touching the blue pop-out icon in the top left of the submenu.
