If the source device is Windows-based, that device can also provide TouchBack and InkBack, which takes video and audio from the connected device and presents them on Surface Hub 2S. If Surface Hub 2S encounters a High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) signal, such as a Blu Ray DVD player, the source will be displayed as a black image. To display your content without violating HDCP requirements, use the keypad of Surface Hub 2S to directly choose the external source via a wired connection such as USB-C or HDMI. +NOTE: Surface Hub-2S will use the video input that you select until a new connection is made, the existing connection is disrupted, or the Connect App is closed. +**Recommended configurations for connecting to Surface Hub 2S** +In general, it’s recommended to use native cable connections whenever possible such as USB-C to USB-C or HDMI to HDMI. Other combinations such as MiniDP to HDMI or MiniDP to USB-C will also work. +*Table 2.

Use USB-C to USB-A to connect to legacy computers

NOTE: For best results, connect HDMI before connecting USB-C cable. If the computer you are using for HDMI is not compatible with TouchBack and InkBack, you won't need a USB-C cable. | +| “Source” selection experience

These peripheral devices are created for TouchBack and InkBack. As shown in Table 3, the peripheral devices can be viewed in Device Manager, which will show duplicate names for some devices. +Table 3.
