The StarBoard F-60 and F-75 are the latest interactive whiteboard systems from Hitachi Software Engineering America. They are used for annotating presentations and running computer based applications in meetings rooms and classrooms.

The StarBoard F-60 and F-75 systems allow users to operate or annotate any software application projected onto the whiteboard from a connected computer.

The Latest Generation in Interactive Whiteboard ProductsThe StarBoard F-60 and F-70 use a combination of ultrasound and infrared technology to sense the location of pen type devices near its surface. The surface itself is not an active component and therefore is not prone to any form of degradation or to introduce spurious contact actions into the presentation. The 60” and 75” display areas provides a very large image on which to work and provides pinpoint accuracy in running applications and adding comments and annotations to presentations.

The systems are available with either built in wireless technology to link to the host computer, or serial interfaces for wired connections. The systems come standard with wall mounting brackets. Floor stands are optional. These systems use a durable surface material that is suitable for both electronic sensing-based writing and dry-erase writing.

StarBoard Software Brings New Life to Presentations
The appeal of the StarTablet 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
• Rollers, line types, and highlighters in pre-set and variable colors and widths
• Comprehensive stamp library
• Character recognition software to run applications with freehand writing
• Object recognition software that converts freehand geometric objects, such as circles and triangles, to smooth drafting quality geometric objects
• Object management software to Undo, Redo, Cut, Copy, Paste, color, adjust line width, etc.
• Thumbnail review capability to quickly scan through files of marked up presentations
• Live video capture that can be stopped at any frame, enlarged and annotated
• A spotlight tool which hones in on a specific area of the display
• Continuous scrolling through the pages of the presentation
