SMART Board 600i interactive whiteboard system
The all-in-one design of the SMART Board 600i interactive whiteboard system brings an interactive whiteboard and projector together. It acts as a central hub for other audiovisual devices – simply plug a VCR, DVD player or document camera into the extended connection panel and switch between them using the interactive whiteboard’s on-screen menu.
The SMART Board 600i interactive whiteboard system works with a computer and projector to reduce shadows and provide control of projected applications and multimedia materials directly from its touch-sensitive surface. With the SMART Board interactive whiteboard, teachers and students can write over computer images and save their notes to review, edit and print later. Dynamic learning and effective collaboration are literally at your fingertips.
