INTRODUCTION

OVERVIEW

The Interactive Whiteboard is an input peripheral device that, thanks to the application of stable, advanced technologies, allows an interactive environment to be created that, by connecting a computer and a video projector, can be used for teaching and demos.

Features

• The Oliboard whiteboard is furnished with a hard surface to ensure resilience to wear and a protection against acts of vandalism; featuring high tracing precision, rapid response and operational sensitivity it allows intuitive use by even less expert users.
• The software provided offers sophisticated functions such as partial magnification, searchlight, replay, camera, customised background, specialized tools (compass, ruler, set square, etc),
• With the electronic pen, you can write, take notes, erase, trace geometrical figures, copy, run and save files.
• The electronic pen can also be used as a mouse to send commands to the computer.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

The whiteboard must be connected to a computer that displays images on the whiteboard by means of a video-projector.

• Why is the image projected in the shape of a trapezium? Why must it be adjusted, and how to do so?

• It sometimes happens that the projector is not level (for example, because the front is higher than the back, or vice-versa) and consequently the image projected is trapezoidal in shape.

• A trapezoidal image is a distorted image and it must be adjusted until a normal projection is achieved.
• Generally speaking, the image can be adjusted by using a remote control device or by correcting the height of the projector. For detailed information, refer to the User Manual provided with the projector.
