Plus UPIC-72M Wireless Interactive Panel
Key Features
  • 72" Interactive White Board
  • Ultra Portable Roll-Up Design
  • Panel Requires No Power
  • Magnetic Panel Adheres to Any Metal
The Plus UPIC-72M Wireless Interactive Panel is three presentation tools in one.

First, it's a 72-inch interactive whiteboard with a 16:9 aspect ratio on which you can "draw" with an electronic Bluetooth-enabled digital pen. Second, you can use it as a conventional whiteboard (with the included special markers and eraser to protect the panel's surface). Lastly it can be used as projection screen without the "hotspot" in the middle that plagues regular whiteboards.

If you present on the go you'll appreciate its ultra-portable roll-up design and its included carrying case that holds the screen and all of its accessories. At your destination just place the magnetic panel on any metal surface such as a whiteboard or greenboard. The panel itself requires no power and the digital pen uses only a single AAA battery.

The only tools you'll have to provide are a Windows laptop on which to run the UPIC software, a projector and a cable to connect the two—tools you probably already have.

The digital pen communicates with the PC over Bluetooth. The included UPIC software converts the motion of the digital pen over the panel and sends it to the projector so fast (it scans 50 times per second) that it looks like you're writing right on the panel. You can even save your annotated presentation as a new image file.

Oh and don't worry if your PC doesn't have Bluetooth built-in. A USB Bluetooth dongle is included in the kit.

Extremely Easy Set-Up
Just unroll the sheet against any surface to which a magnet may be adhered: a chalkboard, a whiteboard, a steel wall, etc. This is easily done by one person. After that, you only need to start your computer and projector, remove the digital pen's cap, tap the four corners of the sheet to calibrate the projected image and, lastly, begin the UPIC software. You're now ready for your interactive meeting or lesson.
The Screen is Really a Dot Matrix Sheet
To achieve the feat of digital writing, a patent-protected dot pattern from Anoto has been added to the UPIC writing surface. The pattern, almost invisible to the naked eye, consists of numerous intelligent small black dots that can be read by the unique digital pen. The pattern indicates the exact positions of the digital pen and the pen sends this information to your PC via Bluetooth.
The Unique Digital Pen Does The Work
The pen contains an integrated digital camera, an advanced image microprocessor and a mobile communications device for wireless connections. When you write over the projected image, the unique pen takes digital snapshots (more than 50 pictures per second) of the dot pattern on the UPIC writing surface. Every snapshot contains enough data to determine the exact position of the pen. The data is transferred via Bluetooth in real time to your computer which in turn sends the writing to your projector. This happens so quickly that it appears as if you are writing on the screen.
Everything Fits Neatly Into The Compact Carrying Case.
The UPIC and all of its accessories fit neatly into the included carrying case. Set up an interactive classroom anywhere on campus or take your interactive meeting from city to city. The UPIC is a truly portable interactive solution.
Wireless. Bluetooth Technology
The panel does not require any power and the UPIC does not need a cord to communicate with a computer, therefore there is no power cord to connect—or to trip over. The unique digital pen transmits information via Bluetooth. Simply pair the pen with your Bluetooth-enabled computer (or use the included Bluetooth USB dongle) and the UPIC panel becomes an interactive board.
Like Three Presentation Tools in One
Beyond the UPIC functioning as an interactive board, with the provided markers and eraser, you can write and erase on the panel just like when using a regular whiteboard. Furthermore, the UPIC can be used as a projection screen. Its unique surface minimizes the reflection and glare of a projector making viewing projected images more comfortable.
Easy to Use Software With Intuitive Icons
The "Touch and Draw" software requires very little training to master. The tool bar icons are familiar and will be readily identifiable by anyone who has worked with similar technology. The software allows you to add comments and make annotations as well as insert graphics onto areas of the projected content. This type of visual communication—through drawings and graphics—allows you to express yourself with greater clarity and more nuance than when simply speaking.
Keep Both Your Original and Your Annotated Copy
At the end of the presentation, you can save the digitally written comments along with the original projected image as a new digital image file.
