These new hardware and software releases enable customers to collaborate more
effectively and freely with larger displays, a new Unbound Workspace and
software that allow teams to collaborate beyond meeting rooms on their personal
devices.
'SMART is committed to providing enterprise customers with software and
hardware that enhances collaboration in ways that inspire innovation, increase
productivity and enable faster, more informed decisions,' says Scott Brown,
President, Enterprise, SMART Technologies. 'The enhancements we have made to
our interactive display line, along with new and upgraded software releases,
heighten the ability for local and remote teams to interact with digital
content in rich and engaging ways whenever and wherever they need to.'
New Products
SMART Board 8084i and 8070i interactive flat panels - The new SMART Board 8084i
interactive flat panel makes the largest addition to SMART's line of
interactive flat panel displays. With an 84' (213.36 cm) 4K ultra HD
resolution, the SMART Board 8084i offers the richest visual experience for
interacting with digital content. With more space and higher resolution, teams
can now collaborate effectively with content that has high information density
such as engineering designs, maps and graphics. SMART is also introducing the
next generation SMART Board 8070i with upgraded features, including anti-glare
glass and presence detection, to offer a more natural user experience. All
SMART Board interactive displays now deliver a consistent experience suitable
for any room environment. Each display offers enhanced multitouch and freestyle
multiuser interaction and support touch gestures and object awareness, allowing
two people to select, move or write over objects simultaneously with both
fingers and pens.
SMART Meeting Pro 4.0 software - The new version of SMART Meeting Pro software
introduces an innovative approach to working in whitespace and capturing
content. Traditional whiteboard interfaces have boundaries that constrain
problem solving, workflow and idea generation. With the new Unbound Workspace,
users never run out of display area as they navigate and work in any direction,
endlessly. Participants can pan across content or zoom to see various levels of
information detail. With the Unbound Workspace, users can break into subgroups
and work on multiple displays, each having their own view of the shared file.
This supports the way teams workcross-functionally to solve large, complex
problems.
SMART Meeting Pro PE (Personal Edition) - SMART Meeting Pro PE enables users to
collaborate on their personal devices beyond the meeting room. Available on
Microsoft(r) Windows(r) and Mac(r) operating systems, Meeting Pro PE lets users
manage their content before and after a meeting to ensure the full meeting
workflow is supported. It is also integrated with SMART Bridgit(r) conferencing
software, so remote participants can easily contribute and collaborate with
their teams regardless of their location.
Availability
The SMART Board 8070i will begin shipping in July 2013 and the SMART Board
8084i interactive flat panel will begin shipping in August 2013. A SMART
Meeting Pro software license will be included with the purchase of any SMART
Board interactive display after June 20, 2013. The new version of SMART Meeting
Pro software will also be available for download on June 20 as a free upgrade
for existing customers who hold a valid maintenance contract. SMART Meeting Pro
PE software is available for purchase as a group of 10 licenses. Volume pricing
is available. For purchasing information, specifications and a list of
