The StarBoard T-15”XL is the latest interactive system from Hitachi Software Engineering America for annotating presentations and running computer based applications in meetings, classrooms, videoconferences, trade shows and symposiums.

The StarBoard T-15XL is a pen-driven 15” TFT display that allows users to operate or annotate any software application running on a connected computer. The annotated images can be viewed on other displays connected to the computer including LCD projected images. Similarly the display can be viewed on any other StarBoard interactive display either in the same location, or connected through a LAN or WAN connection.

The Latest Generation in Interactive Presentation Products

The StarBoard T-15XL provides a very attractive user paradigm. Presenters face their audiences or classrooms when using the display device with the image projected onto any size screen depending on the format of the meeting room or classroom. Unlike interactive whiteboards, the presenter is not blocking the audience’s view as they annotate images or run applications, and presenters do not need to stare into glaring LCD projectors or turn their backs to their audiences to markup and bring color and life to their material. The bright 15” display with XGA resolution provides a very clear image on which to work and provides pinpoint accuracy in running applications and adding comments and annotations to presentations.

StarBoard Software Brings New Life to Presentations

The appeal of the StarBoard T-15XL is enhanced by the intuitive, easy-to-master StarBoard Software that allows anyone to be proficient in a matter of minutes. The pen-driven, icon oriented user interface allows users to move from running applications to annotating them with a single click operation. The major features of the software are the following:

• Software to allow conferencing among up to 42 sites or persons
• Six different types of electronic inks including solid inks, transparent highlighter inks, 3D roller inks, psychedelic-filled inks, shadowed inks and painting patterned inks
• Comprehensive clip art library
• Character recognition software to run applications with freehand writing
• Three different pen types—Normal drawing pens, Intelli-pen for geometric object recognition that converts freehand geometric objects, such as circles and triangles, to smooth drafting quality geometric objects, and a Laser Pen that creates temporary annotations
• Object management functions to Undo, Redo, Cut, Copy, Paste objects.
• Multiple, simultaneous StarBoard session
• Thumbnail review capability to quickly scan through files of active and marked up presentations
• Live video annotation, and capture
• A spotlight tool which hones in on a specific area of the display
