Drive productivity by accomplishing more in meetings with the SMART Board® 685ix interactive whiteboard system. The 685ix is an integrated system that combines an ultra-short-throw projector, a touch-enabled interactive whiteboard and an extended control panel. The 685ix works with your dedicated computer, allowing you to access and easily share your files, record ideas and decisions, save notes and distribute them after the meeting. With stunning image quality, precise touch capability and a large interactive surface, the 685ix gives your teams tools they need to perform at the highest level.


Ultimate experience for computer-equipped rooms

Ink awareAccess the full range of applications and data available to your meeting room computer with the 685ix. The system includes SMART Meeting Pro software, which installs on your dedicated computer and provides easy, intuitive whiteboarding and data capture capabilities that anyone can walk up and use. You can write notes in digital ink over any document, application or website on the interactive whiteboard and save them as a screenshot in a PDF or PPT file. Marked-up pages, revised documents, diagrams, notes and comments can all be captured easily and e-mailed directly to your team. You can also write and save notes directly into applications such as Microsoft Word, Excel or PowerPoint, Adobe Acrobat and AutoCAD. The days of copying notes from dry-erase boards are over - your sessions will run smoothly and efficiently from start to save.

Touch control makes it easy With the 685ix, your computer, projector and SMART Board interactive whiteboard are all connected, so powering up and beginning work is fast and easy - a single button gets you going in 60 seconds. Launch applications, open documents, access network files and websites or write on the digital whiteboard with the simple touch of a finger. The touch-sensitive surface lets you interact directly with your information. You can save all your work - either marked-up pages or interactive whiteboard notes - into a single PDF or PPT file and e-mail it to your team at any time during your meeting. When your meeting is finished, use the reset room function to instantly clear the interactive whiteboard, close all conferences and applications and leave the room ready for the next session.

685ix for business distractions 

Superior image for fewer distractions

Focus on the session content, not the technology. The system’s ultra-short-throw projector, the SMART UX60, virtually eliminates shadows, glare and distracting projector light. Positioned above the interactive whiteboard, the SMART UX60 projector displays bright, crisp images from only 12" (30.5 cm) away. It provides superior image quality with a 16:10 aspect ratio and a native WXGA (1,280 x 800) widescreen resolution.

More room for ideas

The 685ix features an 87" (221 cm) widescreen interactive whiteboard - 20% more workspace than a standard-sized interactive whiteboard system. Because the system’s projector is positioned above the interactive whiteboard, there is plenty of room for colleagues to collaborate. Its streamlined design fits seamlessly into virtually any meeting environment.

Write or perform mouse functions by touching the board with a pen or your finger, and erase using the eraser tool – no proprietary tools are required.

Touch Recognition

Write with a pen, erase with your palm and move objects with your finger without having to access additional tools, buttons or on-screen menus. With Touch Recognition, the board switches between touch modes automatically.

Write and save notes

Write notes in digital ink over any document, application or website on the interactive whiteboard and save it as a screenshot in a PDF or PPT file. Your work can be captured easily and e-mailed directly to meeting participants. You can also write and save notes directly into applications such as Microsoft Word, Excel or PowerPoint, Adobe Acrobat and AutoCAD.

Pen Tray

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

SMART Meeting Pro software

Quick start

With the 685ix, 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 60 seconds.

Front-of-room centralized control

Switch between all your audiovisual devices directly from the extended control panel. The panel provides centralized control of your meeting room technology, including DVD players, digital cameras, document cameras and VCRs. 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 2 computers to the SMART Board interactive whiteboard and easily switch between them as required.

Widescreen interactive whiteboard

Access 20% more workspace than a standard interactive whiteboard system with the 685ix. The system has an 87" (221 cm) interactive whiteboard and an ultra-short-throw projector that offers a 16:10 aspect ratio and native WXGA (1,280 x 800) widescreen resolution.

Virtually shadow and glare free

Compared to longer-throw projectors that are mounted on ceilings or walls, the 685ix system's ultra-short-throw projector creates virtually no shadows or glare. This makes it easier to see images on the interactive whiteboard and increases productivity by reducing unwanted distractions.

Superior image quality
Experience superior image quality with the 685ix. The SMART UX60 projector uses Texas Instruments’ BrilliantColor technology to produce high levels of brightness and contrast. Video, data and application files will look crisp and bright from every position in the room.
Simple installation

Make precise projector alignment a snap - the 685ix includes a multiaxis, adjustable wall mount. The projector is mounted directly above the SMART Board interactive whiteboard, so virtually any space can accommodate the 685ix without needing complicated wiring or ceiling mounting. The system's integrated elements also ensure it is easy to maintain.

Easy connectivity

Connect your dedicated meeting room computer to the 685ix using the system’s wire management bundle, which features integrated VGA, USB and 3.5 mm audio. By using the wire management bundle, you can easily connect a meeting room computer, use the interactive whiteboard and then disconnect if required.

Filter free

The filter-free design of SMART’s UX60 projector eliminates the need for filter cleaning or replacement.

No color decay

Rely on the SMART UX60 projector’s color quality. The projector’s DLP engine with BrilliantColor technology makes the 685ix practically immune to color decay, producing a vibrant image even after years of use.

Network-enabled projector

Connect the SMART UX60 projector to your IP network to send and receive commands to and from the web server or SNMP client. As a networked interactive whiteboard system, the 685ix has asset management features that enable you to control and manage the projector remotely.

Long-lasting lamp

Be confident in the reliability of your projector lamp - the SMART UX60 lasts for 3,000 hours in standard mode and 4,000 hours in economy mode.

Durable surface

The 685ix's resilient, hard-coated, polyester front sheet is secured over a robust aluminum composite backboard. The surface is tear-proof, optimized for projection, compatible with dry-erase markers and easily cleaned. With an incredibly low return merchandise authorization (RMA) rate of less than 0.01%, SMART Board interactive whiteboards may be the toughest interactive whiteboards on the market. All SMART Board interactive whiteboards are rigorously tested, designed and produced in an ISO 9001 certified facility.
