How to Set Up Surface Studio Control for Presentation TV in Presenter

OVERVIEW

The DisplaySweet Presenter app on the Surface Studio connects to a computer (e.g. DisplaySweet Performance NUC) that drives the Presentation TV content. This article outlines two hardware setup scenarios:

• When the PC is located remotely in the comms room

• When the PC is placed directly behind or under the TV
