InterWrite MeetingBoard

InterWrite MeetingBoard is a sophisticated and easy-to-use electronic whiteboard designed to replace conventional dry-erase marker boards and wall-mounted screens commonly used with LCD/DLP computer projectors.

Whether you're presenting to an important client, conducting a training session or reviewing a design, the InterWrite MeetingBoard will keep your audience engaged in the presentation. You can write notes and highlight key points on top of your presentation using one of the electronic pens, and interact with your computer while standing at the MeetingBoard using the pen as a mouse. E-mail your annotations to meeting participants, keeping them focused on what’s important and ensuring that they all have the same notes and action items.

How the MeetingBoard Works
The MeetingBoard functions and looks similar to a traditional, white surface, dry-erase marker board and uses standard dry-erase markers. However, when the markers are placed in specially designed holders, an embedded electronic grid under the board's surface senses and tracks marker movements. The marker tracking technology combined with MeetingBoard's InterWrite software allows:

Electronic saving of meeting notes
Direct printing of notes via MeetingBoard's parallel port

Electronic highlighting and annotating of any screen image projected on the MeetingBoard's surface from an attached LCD/DLP computer projector


4 modes of operation to complement any meeting or presentation.

Interactive Mode
What's Required
MeetingBoard, Electronic Marker Holder Pen, InterWrite Software, Computer, LCD/DLP Projector

Use
With MeetingBoard's unique marker tracking, the MeetingBoard's pen functions as the computer's mouse, move the pen and the mouse cursor follows, allowing you to control and use any software program at the MeetingBoard. Buttons on the side of the pen act as left and right mouse buttons. In addition, the InterWrite software offers a color palette of digital pens and highlighters allowing you to annotate any screen image and save it for later retrieval and printing. Also, using digital ink you can write notes over a conventional white background as you would on a standard dry erase marker board.

MeetingBoard's unique electronic dry-erase marker holder pens contain standard Expo dry-erase markers. Markers are capped for Interactive mode operation

InterWrite Software developed for the MeetingBoard allows for both whiteboarding of notes and electronic annotation of any computer image or file in the different operating modes.
