Interactive whiteboards are a revolutionary way to share information on your PC with your customers & colleagues or pupils in the classroom, training room or presentation room. By connecting any Windows based PC & data projector, an interactive whiteboard provides you with a powerful information and presentation tool. Share information with your audience quickly and easily and keep your audience's attention focused on your content.
Improve interaction between you and your audience, resulting in greater retention of the information you deliver. Interact with your Windows desktop and your applications. Use annotation tools to enhance your presentation.
Take notes using the electronic flipchart, share applications and ideas across different locations with video conferencing software, data conferencing software such as Windows NetMeeting, or even share web browsing.

Promethean have designed and manufactured digitizer products for over 20 years for use in design, mapping and graphics applications. Based on this well-established, proven technology, the Promethean Presenta Board has been updated to meet the requirements of all group presentations whether in classrooms, meeting rooms, training rooms etc. The Promethean Presenta Board is manufactured in a 10,000 square foot purpose built plant in Blackburn, Lancashire.

The Promethean Presenta Board uses the latest advances in digital electromagnetic sensing technology. A small magnetic field is created over the surface of the board, which is activated by holding the specially designed pen in proximity of the board's surface. The Promethean Presenta Board pen reflects a signal back to the board, which is then sent to the computer as an X/Y co-ordinate.
This enables the computer to understand where on the surface of the board the user is pointing, thus tracking pen movement just like a mouse. Use of this digital technology enables fast, stable and accurate tracking.
To facilitate this technology, a special pen has been designed which is ergonomic, lightweight and cordless. Based on the Rotring Artpen, it has been designed to offer comfort and balance to the user, giving an intuitive, natural feel to every presentation.
The pen is battery-free so there is no need to worry about charging or replacing batteries. It supports both left and right mouse clicks and, used in conjunction with PX software, enables users to have full control over their presentation including multiple pen colour selection, from a single device. Two pens are supplied with each board and additional ones may be purchased thereafter.
To enable the Promethean Presenta Board to be used over a long period in harsh environments, it is manufactured with a tough formica surface. The absence of a soft membrane type surface means that it is not touch sensitive and so cannot be used with the finger (or any other object). The boards surface is matt based and is ideal for use with digital projectors. This surface prevents projector "hot spots" and screen glare from reflecting back towards the audience.
The Promethean Presenta Board can be mounted on the wall or, for added mobility, onto the easy-to-assemble stand. Once positioned, getting started with the Promethean Presenta Board is simple.
