Whi te board Us er Guid e How the Polaroid Whiteboard Works The Polaroid whiteboard’s surface is touch-sensitive. Whenever you write or draw on the whiteboard with dry- erase markers and the ibid software is running on a con- nected PC, each stroke is recorded by the software.
Page 22: Sounds
Clicks: Multiple whiteboards When more than one Polaroid whiteboard is connected to your PC (tiling), a pen color or erase function selected for one board applies to all boards. For more information on tiling, see Using More Than One Whiteboard on page 2-13.

Whi te board Us er Guid e The vector-based data records is output at the resolu- ibid tion of the output device, e.g., 72 dpi for a typical moni- tor or 300 dpi for a 300 dpi printer. Since the data is resolution independent, the higher the resolution of the monitor or printer, the smoother the output.
