SMART Board 800i interactive whiteboard system

Two users can simultaneously write, perform mouse functions, erase, and manipulate and move objects on the interactive whiteboard surface – and no special tools are required.

The system enables two users to instantly start working together without having to switch into a separate multiuser mode or work in a confined area. And each user can individually complete actions, like writing in digital ink or moving objects with their fingers.

The 800i uses DViT (Digital Vision Touch) technology to identify when a user switches between a finger, pen and eraser. A user can also write with a pen, erase with a palm and move objects with a finger, without having to press buttons, access on-screen menus or replace tools in the Pen Tray.

Use simple, intuitive hand and finger gestures to toss, rotate or zoom in on objects and interact within SMART Notebook software. The 800i has built-in support for Windows 7 and Snow Leopard.

SMART Notebook sets the standard for creating, delivering and managing interactive lessons within a single application. It puts all your instructional materials at your fingertips, and allows you to save any notes or content you write during the lesson to share with students later on. A powerful and easy-to-use application, SMART Notebook software enables you to readily deliver interactive lessons that keep your students engaged and interested.

Pick up one of the pens or the eraser and the Pen Tray automatically detects which tool you’ve selected. Buttons on the Pen Tray select the color and activate the On-Screen Keyboard, right-click and help functions.

The Pen Tray includes two wings on the side that allow you to add accessories, such as SMART projector controls.

Hold down a pen color button on the Pen Tray until the light flashes, and the lockable pen option will lock the interactive whiteboard into pen mode, so you can use any device and it will act as a pen. Early education students and students with special needs can use objects, such as tennis balls, to write on the surface.

Discover a responsive and accurate writing experience with SMART Ink. It smoothes out the appearance of the digital ink, which improves the legibility of your handwriting as you write over applications, websites and videos. The ink becomes an object that you can move and manipulate.

Capture your work to SMART Notebook collaborative learning software as a screen shot that you can edit, or save your notes directly into several software applications, including Microsoft Windows versions of PowerPoint, Word and Excel, Adobe Acrobat and AutoCAD software.

The 800i has a low-gloss surface that is optimized for projection. The surface is compatible with dry-erase markers and is easily cleaned.

With the 800i, your computer, projector and SMART Board interactive whiteboard are all connected, so you can turn the entire system on and off quickly with the push of a single button – everything powers up in under 60 seconds.

Switch between all your audiovisual devices directly from the extended control panel. The panel provides centralized control of your classroom technology, including DVD players, digital cameras and document cameras. You can move from a website to a video documentary to a review question quickly and seamlessly. The extended control panel also has a dual-USB port that enables you to connect two computers to the SMART Board interactive whiteboard and easily switch between them as required.

Enjoy more room to work. The wide-format 885i model gives you 20% more working space than a standard interactive whiteboard – ideal for classrooms that use widescreen laptops and monitors. The widescreen option combines the SMART Board 885 interactive whiteboard with the SMART UF65w projector, which delivers a 16:10 aspect ratio and native WXGA (1280 x 800) widescreen resolution.

Demonstrate complex spatial concepts using third-party 3D content. SMART UF65 and UF75 projectors are 3D ready, accurately displaying 3D content to students wearing 3D glasses.

Reduce shadows and distractions with the ultra-short-throw SMART UF75 or short-throw SMART UF65 projector. Because these projectors mount directly above the SMART Board interactive whiteboard, they create fewer shadows behind the user, improving the visibility of images, videos and notes.

Receive important messages instantly. Principals and other administrators can display alert messages on multiple 800i systems at the same time.

Experience high levels of brightness and contrast with the SMART UF75 and SMART UF65 projectors. The UF65 delivers 2,000 lumens and a 2,000:1 contrast ratio at XGA (1040 x 768) resolution. The UF75 delivers 2,500 lumens and a 2,900:1 contrast ratio at XGA (1040 x 768) resolution. Their true color quality enhances the crispness of video, images and websites from every position in the room, no matter the lighting conditions.

Install the 800i quickly and easily in any classroom. The projector mounts directly above the interactive whiteboard, with no complicated wiring or ceiling mounting required. The system's integrated components also ensure it is easy to maintain.

Both projector options for the 800i offer a filter-free design, which eliminates the need for filter cleaning or replacement and reduces overall maintenance.

Connect the projector to your school's network to remotely control and manage it through the web server or SNMP client. As a networked interactive whiteboard system, the 800i's asset management features enable you to control and manage the projector remotely

The 800i projector bulb lasts for 3,000 hours in standard mode and 5,000 hours in economy mode. And because the projector is network enabled, you will receive e-mail alerts for temperature warnings or when lamp life is running low.

Add SMART Audio classroom amplification system or USB speakers to turn the 800i into a complete multimedia center.

Feel secure with your technology investment – the protection features of the 800i make it a less attractive target for thieves. The projector head and base are attached, and because the projector has no buttons, it is rendered inoperable if removed from the extended control panel. The Kensington cable lock slot and padlock loop are additional visual and physical theft deterrents.
