3M's DB578 Digital Board is an innovative dry erase board that can help capture meeting notes and drive interactive presentations when used with a separate PC and LCD projector. Instantly distribute your whiteboard notes in a variety of common file formats. Use standard conferencing software to share a live view of your Board via the Internet.

You can interact with your PC to draw with the Digital Pen, mark up PowerPoint slides, recall erased notes, display clip art, and more. The Digital Board acts as a screen for your LCD projector, while the included Digital Presentation Pen both writes and controls your mouse.

Touch the Board's quick access buttons to page forward or back, create a new page, calibrate the device, access the included Image Gallery, or control an interactive tool bar. If you prefer to capture notes while writing with actual ink, use standard dry erase markers fitted with accessory sleeves (sold separately):

  • DWD 7430PEN Digital Pen Sleeve (Black)
  • DWD 7420PEN Digital Pen Sleeve (Blue)
  • DWD 7410PEN Digital Pen Sleeve (Red)
  • DWD 7400PEN Digital Pen Sleeve (Green)
Other useful accessories include:
  • DWD 9510AT Accessory Tray
  • DWD 7140ER Digital Eraser
  • DWD 9520PP Digital Presentation Pen
  • DWD 9551MCT Mobile Cart Glass Tray

Capture and Share Notes Electronically
The Digital Board stores notes in color so you can save, print, or e-mail them in a variety of common formats: ESB, JPEG, TIFF, HTML, PDF, vector PDF, BMP 256 color, WBD, PowerPoint (PPT and PPS) and metafile (EMF). The Board connects to your Windows PC via standard USB cable.
Compatible with Standard Presentation and Conferencing Software
The Digital Board integrates with Microsoft NetMeeting/LiveMeeting software to share your presentations with remote, worldwide audiences.
Interact with Your Computer and the Internet
When connected to a web-enabled PC and a digital projector, you can display images posted on-line and annotate them with the Digital Pen. You can also mark up PowerPoint slides and save your changes. The playback feature lets you review saved notes, including erased items.
Import and Modify Documents
The Digital Board can interact with, annotate, and save files from many standard applications including PPT, BMP, GIF, JPEG, ICO, EMF, WMF, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word (DOC and RTF), and Clipboard files.
Digital Pen Control
Control both computer and Board functions with the included Digital Presentation Pen. Use it to control your mouse. Touch quick access buttons to page forward or back, create a new page, calibrate the device, access the Image Gallery, or control the interactive tool bar. The Pen has a comfortable tip that feels natural when writing.
Optional Ink Pen Interface
With your projector off, you can still record notes written with actual ink if you buy Digital Pen Sleeves for your dry erase markers. Buy separate sleeves for different-color pens to capture in color. (When using standard pens, you can't interact with a computer display or show erased screens.)
Interactive Tool Bar
An interactive tool bar on the left edge of the Board gives access to save, highlight, and special mouse features; making it easy to point and click without running back to your computer. Dedicated buttons also let you page forward or back, create a new page, calibrate the device, or access an Image Gallery.
Clip Art and Integrated Graphics
The bundled Image Gallery has over 2700 images and backgrounds you can use to spruce up your presentations and serve as memory aids. You can also copy and paste images from other programs.
