Ghent Interactive Whiteboards / Screens

An interactive screen is a computer driven device, allowing users to access and manipulate electronic files by means of a LCD display. The interactive LCD will be connected to a computer with USB, and the computer then connected back to the LCD with a video cable. These screens serve a variety of functions, and is capable of many different things. First and foremost, would be the creation of interactivity with your computer files.

At a very basic level, think of the board as a large computer accessory – it also acts as your computer monitor. If your desktop is being shown on the display, simply double tap an icon and that file will open. If your internet browser is being shown, simply touch the back button, and the browser will go back one page. In this manner, you would be interacting with mouse functionality. However, an interactive LCD can do much more than that.

An interactive LCD/LED screen offers users the ability to customize a system to fit exactly what they need. We have a variety of displays including bare bone touch screen displays all the way up to All-in-one Video Conferencing Interactive Systems. The major brands include InFocus Mondopad & Jtouch, SMART, SHARP, Promethean, Newline and more. Please check out our videos below demonstrating our two most popular systems.

Think of the way you would write on a traditional chalkboard. As the piece of chalk makes contact with the board, it forms letters and numbers. With an interactive whiteboard, it does the same exact thing – it just does it electronically.
Think of it as digital ink. You are still “writing on the board”, just in a different way. You can have the board as a blank white surface, and fill it up with notes, just like a chalkboard. Or, you can display a file and annotate over it. An example of annotation would be bringing up a map. You could write over top of the map in a variety of different colors. Then, when you are done, you can save the marked up file as an image. At that point, it is an electronic file that can be emailed, printed, saved for a later date – whatever you wanted to do.

• Shadowing on a projected image is eliminated.
• Projector light shinning in users eyes, eliminated.
• Maintenance to change filters on a projector, eliminated.
• Much cleaner and crisp image than a projector is capable of producing.
• Display will not be washed out by sun or ambient light.
• Less wiring than a traditional interactive system.
• Many units are available with an optional built in PC. This makes a true "All in One" system.

What features are most important to you? Make sure you are not overpaying for features you will never use. Here are some factors to consider when choosing the right whiteboardL:

• Warranty
• Dry erase friendly
• Magnetic
• Wireless connectivity
• Direct printing from board
• iPad and Android compatible (comes with app)
• Resolution: do you need a very high resolution like 1080P or 4K? Most people do not, but some demanding applications require the utmost clarity, and in this case, the interactive LCD or LED screen is the way to go.
• Ease of use: some boards are very easy to use and have “toned down” software, while others have much more advanced software with features such as
• Dual touch and even multi touch
• Multi-user (more than one person can use the board at the same time. We have products such as the Teamboard T4 that can have 4 people using it simultaneously)
• Multi force (board senses how hard you are pressing and adjusts the line thickness accordingly)
• Video conferencing
• Hand writing recognition

• Yes, you can.
