SMART Board Software
SMART Board software includes all the tools you need to write notes over any computer
application, and then to save these notes. The software features include:
• Notebook™ software – an application that you can use to organize, save and share
your notes. Notebook software also has many writing tools and is great for creating
presentations or jotting down notes during a presentation or meeting.
• SMART Recorder – an application for the Windows operating system that can record
a video file of everything you do on the screen
• SMART Video Player – an application for the Windows operating system that allows
you to play video files, write over these videos, and then save or clear these notes.
Use this application to highlight key aspects of a video.
• SMART Keyboard – a virtual keyboard that you can use to enter text into an
application. You can use this application to convert your handwritten notes to typed
text.
• Floating Tools – a virtual palette of writing tools that increases the screen's interactive
functionality, whether or not you have a pen tray
• SMART Board Control Panel – allows you to customize the writing tools and to
change the SMART Board software settings
• Ink Aware – an application for the Windows operating system that makes a number of
conferencing, graphics, word processing and presentation programs work seamlessly
with the interactive screen
TIP
The term Ink Aware describes applications that are integrated for use
with SMART Board software. When you write over an Ink Aware
program, you can save your written notes within the file.
For comprehensive information on using the programs and tools included in SMART
Board software, read the supplied SMART Board Software User's Guide, or the
extensive Help that comes with the software. When you read these documents, keep
in mind that the SMART Board for Flat-Panel Displays interactive whiteboard has the
same functionality as a projected SMART Board interactive whiteboard.
The Display Control icon strip
NOTE: This functionality is only available with a Microsoft® Windows® operating system.
With the Display Control icon strip, you can turn your flat-panel display on and off, change your
input source, select a different screen width and perform other tasks, all while standing right at
the interactive whiteboard. The Display Control icon strip is optional and if you find you no
longer need it, you can easily disable and remove the strip. To use it, you need a computer
that uses the Windows operating system and an available serial port. The required RS-232
cable is supplied.
