Transform team collaboration or enhance class participation with an interactive whiteboard system that makes it easy for people to work together and interact with files and applications. The SMART Board 885 interactive whiteboard offers a natural touch and writing experience, making it a great choice for every collaboration environment.
The SMART Board SB885ix2 interactive whiteboard system combines the use of a SMART Board 885 interactive whiteboard, a SMART UX80 projector, and other accessories and optional equipment. It uses the WXGA (16:10) ultra-short-throw, high-offset SMART UX80 projector and delivers high definition, 3D-ready high performance interactivity that is virtually shadow-free and glare-free. Four users can draw on the interactive surface at the same time, and you can use an array of gestures within applications. The projector supports video and audio connections from a variety of devices including DVD and Blu-ray players, document cameras, and other high-definition sources, and can project media from these sources onto the interactive screen. All HDMI 1.4 inputs are HDCP compliant.

The all new SMART UX80 ultra-short-throw projector is HD-ready and provides 3,600 lumens for classrooms with high ambient lighting, and an ultra-short throw distance that virtually eliminates shadows and glare.
The extended control panel provides easy access to all audiovisual products in the classroom and enables teachers to switch between inputs and access power and volume controls from one location. The projector is mounted directly above the interactive whiteboard for simple installation, and the swivel projector mount makes alignment easier. And its long-lasting lamp and filter-free design reduce maintenance costs.
The projector supports video and audio connections from a variety of devices including DVD and Blu-ray players, document cameras, and other high-definition sources, and can project media from these sources onto the interactive screen. All HDMI 1.4 inputs are HDCP compliant. The UX80 offers 2 HDMI inputs, an integrated speaker, and the ability to control 2 displays simultaneously. The UX80 comes with the widescreen SMART Board 885ix interactive whiteboard system.

Powerful collaboration
An advanced collaboration environment provides a virtually unlimited collaboration workspace. It enables you to write over any application, gives you options for saving your work and integrates with Microsoft Exchange. With the power to share information, capture brainstorming results and distribute action items instantly, you can ensure everyone is on the same page and working towards common goals.
Intuitive interaction
The familiar, inviting design of our interactive displays encourages use by making interaction with digital content a natural experience. You can use your finger to interact with any application, pick up a pen and write over it, and move easily between documents, digital notes or the Web. And multi-touch support means two people can write, erase and manipulate objects simultaneously.
Object awareness – Making it easy to interact
The technology is virtually invisible. The 885ix2 uses cameras to identify when a user switches between using a finger, pen and eraser. A user can also write with a pen, erase with a palm and move objects with a finger, without having to press buttons, access on-screen menus or replace tools in the Pen Tray.
Freestyle interaction – Expanding the boundaries of learning with the SB885ix2-SMP
The system enables four users to instantly start working together without having to switch into a separate multi-user mode or work in a confined area. And each user can individually complete actions, like writing in digital ink or moving objects with their fingers.
SMART Ink™
Discover a natural, responsive and accurate writing experience with SMART Ink. It smoothes out the appearance of the digital ink, which improves the legibility of your handwriting as you write over applications, websites and videos. The ink becomes an object that you can move and manipulate.
