Windows devices can also provide Touchback and Inkback. Surface Hub's internal PC takes video and audio from the connected device and displays them on the Surface Hub. If Surface Hub encounters an HDCP signal, the source will be re-routed through an alternate path, allowing the source to be displayed full-screen without violating HDCP requirements. + +### Ports + +Use these ports on the Surface Hub for the guest mode. + + ++++++ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

+ +  + +Source audio is provided by DisplayPort and HDMI cables. If you must use VGA, Surface Hub has an audio input port that uses a 3.5 mm plug. Surface Hub also uses a USB cable that provides touch and inkback from the Surface Hub to compatible Windows 10 devices. The USB cable can be used with any video input that is already connected with a cable. + +Someone using guest mode to connect a PC would use one of these options: + +**DisplayPort** -- DisplayPort cable and USB 2.0 cable + +**HDMI** -- HDMI cable and USB 2.0 cable + +**VGA** -- VGA cable, 3.5 mm audio cable, and USB 2.0 cable + +If the computer you are using for guest mode is not compatible with Touch and Inkback, then you won't need the USB cable. + +## Replacement PC mode + + +In replacement PC mode, the embedded computer of the Surface Hub is turned off and an external PC is connected to the Surface Hub. Connections to replacement PC ports give access to key peripherals on the Surface Hub, including the screen, pen, and touch features. This does mean that your Surface Hub won’t have the benefit of the Windows Team experience, but you will have the flexibility offered by providing and managing your own Windows computer. + +### Software requirements + +You can run Surface Hub in replacement PC mode with 64-bit versions of Windows Home, Windows Pro and Windows Enterprise. You can download the Surface Hub Replacement PC Driver Package from the Microsoft download center. We recommend that you install these drivers on any computer you plan to use as a replacement PC. + +### Hardware requirements + +Surface Hub is compatible with a range of hardware. Choose the processor and memory confirmation for your replacement PC so that it supports the app you'll be using. Your replacement PC hardware needs to support 64-bit versions of Windows 10. + +### Graphics adapter + +In replacement PC mode, Surface Hub supports any graphics adapter that can produce a DisplayPort signal. You'll improve your experience with a graphics adapter that can match Surface Hub's resolution and refresh rate. For example, though the best and recommended replacement PC experience on the Surface Hub is with a 120Hz video signal, 60Hz video signals are also supported. + +**55" Surface Hubs** - Graphics adapter needs to be capable of a resolution of 1920 x 1080 at 120Hz. + +**84" Surface Hubs** - Graphics adapter needs to be capable of outputting four DisplayPort 1.2 streams to produce 2160 pixels at 120Hz (3840 x 2160 at 120Hz vertical refresh). Options for graphics cards include NVIDIA K2200, NVIDIA K4200, and NVIDIA M6000. + +Check directly with graphics card vendors for the latest drivers. + + ++++ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
