Page 8: Impulse Whiteboard System Overview
MPULSE HITEBOARD YSTEM VERVIEW OW IT ORKS Impulse multimedia whiteboard laser technology provides the most accurate writing capture that you can buy. Laser Technology The Impulse system can “see” your marker by reflecting two invisible laser beams off of the marker’s barrel. The Impulse system can distinguish between the strokes of a marker, stylus, or eraser and determine the marker color by reading bar codes located around the marker’s barrel. - Page 9 While your laptop computer and a projector are connected to the Impulse system, you can project anything from your computer onto the board. In addition, you can control your computer directly from the board. Nothing is stored or changed on your laptop and there is no software to install. The cable connections between the board and your laptop enable the Impulse system to display and control your computer.
