SMART Board 8000 series interactive flat panels

Elevate collaborative learning with SMART Board 8000 series interactive flat panels. Featuring high-definition, shadow-free LCD displays, the 8000 series has intuitive multitouch capabilities and support for natural touch gestures – making lessons more visual, interactive and engaging.

Take collaboration to new heights

The attractive and simple design of the 8000 series invites use, and its multitouch capabilities give teachers and students more opportunities for classroom collaboration. Two students can use their fingers or a pen to write, draw and interact with content, without accessing any special tools or menus – they can simply walk up to the 8000 series and immediately begin working together. And with the optional SMART Mobile Floor Stand, the flat panel can easily be moved to spaces where interactivity is only occasionally required.

Deliver lessons with impact

The 8000 series' high-definition LCD display offers brilliant visuals and a precise touch experience. Its shadow-free surface makes your lesson content look crisp and bright – whether you've created your own in SMART Notebook collaborative learning software or downloaded one of the 50,000 resources available on the SMART Exchange website.

Rely on quality and value

Ease of installation, our new presence detection feature and a durable, commercial-grade LCD display – with no projector lamp or filter to replace – all contribute to a low total cost of ownership.

Experience presence detection

Starting in Fall 2012, the 8000 series will include presence detection – a new feature that automatically turns the flat panel on when motion is detected and off after an extended period of inactivity. Presence detection not only offers a more intuitive and fluid experience for teachers and students, it also conserves power and extends display life. It will be available with the introduction of the new 55" (140 cm) 8055i, and it will also be available on the 70" (178 cm) 8070i.

Presence detection*

Sensors detect and automatically respond to user movements, so the interactive flat panel turns on and stays in active mode when people are near and turns off when no movement is detected.

Commercial-grade, touch-enabled display

The 8000 series features a commercial-grade, high-definition display powered by SMART’s proprietary DViT (Digital Vision Touch) technology, delivering a superior touch experience and bright, crisp 1080p images that make it easy to engage students in lessons.

Elegant, sophisticated design

The professional design and crisp, eye-catching images of the 8000 series make it perfect for any classroom. Compared to a standard projector, a flat-panel display is easier on viewers' eyes. Its high-definition, shadow-free design ensures that lesson content is easy to see.

Multitouch interface

Two people can simultaneously write, perform mouse functions, erase and manipulate objects on its display – no special tools are required.

Freestyle interaction

The 8000 series enables two people to instantly start working together without having to switch into a separate multiuser mode or work in a confined area. And users can individually complete actions, like writing in digital ink or moving objects with their fingers. It’s perfect for collaborative learning.

Touch gestures

Use simple, intuitive hand and finger gestures to work with content, including one- and two-finger navigational gestures – such as panning and flicking pages – and object gestures, like zoom, toss and rotate. The 8000 series also supports touch gestures found in Microsoft Windows 7 and Mac OS X Snow Leopard operating systems.

Object awareness

The 8000 series uses DViT technology to identify when you switch between your finger, a pen or an eraser. You can also write with a pen, erase with a palm and move objects with your finger without having to press buttons, access on-screen menus or replace tools in the Pen Tray.

SMART Ink

Just pick up a pen and start writing. SMART Ink smoothes out your handwriting to improve legibility. You can write notes over any lesson and save them as a SMART Notebook file. You can also turn handwritten notes into text objects that you can manipulate.

Magnetic pens

The 8000 series is equipped with two pens that magnetically attach to the bezel. Its control buttons enable you to select the color of ink, right-click and launch the On-Screen Keyboard and help functions.

Durable surface

The 8000 series features a hardened glass display.

*Available in Fall 2012.

Part of the SMART classroom

The 8000 series integrates with SMART Notebook software, which makes it easy to add other SMART products, such as the SMART Document Camera and SMART Response interactive response systems. Accessories like the SMART Mobile Floor Stand and USB extenders make the 8000 series easy to integrate into a variety of learning environments.
