Using SMART Board
SMART Board adds versatility to your videoconferences. With SMART Board connected to
your VTEL system, you write with standard dry erase color markers as if you were using an
ordinary whiteboard. At the same time you are marking on the SMART Board,
videoconference participants at remote sites see your notes appear on their monitors
(through the PenPal Graphics® option).
Other sites that have SMART Boards can add annotations interactively, and everyone can
use PenPal to view, capture, save, send, modify, and print your SMART Board annotations.
Overview of SMART Board
SMART Board is integrated with the optional PenPal Graphics application. You can use
PenPal’s tools to capture, display, print, further annotate, and send images that were first
created on the SMART Board.
Whatever you write or draw on the pressure-sensitive SMART Board surface is displayed on
your monitor (in the PenPal window). When you are in an HDLC video call, the contents of
SMART Board are displayed on monitors at the remote sites. On two-monitor systems,
SMART Board images appear on the right monitor.
In order to share SMART Board and PenPal images, your video call must use the HDLC
protocol. (Contact your system administrator if you need more information about HDLC
calls.)
