Installing Recordex Software and Drivers on a Macbook

Installing Recordex Driver and Xpress Software

1. Access the Recordex training and support site.

2. Scroll down and click on ‘Simplicity Touch & Xpress.’
   

3. You’ll be asked to choose which generation of Recordex board you use. You have a Gen. 3, so you’ll select the option on the left.
   

4. Next, you’ll find a link to the full owner’s manual.  You can download this if you want it. Otherwise, scroll to the section for SimplicityTouch Software & Drivers and select the first option for OS X (Macbooks) TouchScreen Driver.
   
   

5. Click on the ‘Download’ button and follow any prompts.
   
   

6. Once downloaded, locate the file and open it.

7. When the .dmg file is opened, you’ll see the program with a box icon. Right-click on the icon and select ‘Open.’ You do this whenever you have downloaded software from the Internet onto a Mac computer.

 

8. A pop-up window will appear. Select ‘Open.’

 

9. The installation window will appear. Follow any prompts to move through the installation process. You’ll be asked to supply a password, use the same password used to log onto your computer.

10. When the Drivers are installed, you’ll see several icons added to the tray at the top of your screen. You’ll find tools such as desktop annotation here.

 

Get the Xpress Software

Now when you plug in the USB from your Recordex board to your Macbook, you should be able to use the touch capabilities. Now we’re going to install the Xpress whiteboard software.

1. At the top of your screen, click on the FileWave Kiosk and select ‘Install Software.’

 

2. Scroll until you find the option for Recordex Xpress Software and click ‘Install.’

 

3. Once installed, you will be able to access it from the launcher (rocket ship icon.)
