Smart Technologies has announced the launch of the Smart Board 685ix interactive whiteboard system at InfoComm in Orlando. The fully integrated system includes a Smart Board 685 interactive whiteboard and a wall-mounted, ultra-short-throw UX60 widescreen projector with a 16:10 aspect ratio and WXGA resolution (1280×800).
The UX60 projector uses Texas Instrument’s DLP Brilliant Color technology.
The ultra-short-throw projector mounts on the wall directly above the Smart Board 685 interactive whiteboard and extends 16in from the wall (41cm), minimising its footprint.
The system comes equipped with an extended control panel that provides controls for power, source selection, volume and an integrated USB hub. With the wire management bundle’s integrated VGA, USB and audio connection, connectivity is provided for a PC or Mac. The projector can be network-enabled for maintenance. Technical support can perform a task or run diagnostics remotely, reducing time and labour costs. Unlike projectors using LCD technology, the UX60 projector does not contain a filter or require monthly cleaning.
