Introducing your SMART Board 480 interactive whiteboard

Introduction

Your SMART product is a wall-mounted, front projection interactive whiteboard. It
enables you to do everything that you can do at your computer—
open and close applications, scroll through files, hold meetings with others, create
new documents or edit existing ones, visit websites, play video clips and more—
by touching the interactive surface with your finger or the included pen. When you
connect your interactive whiteboard to a computer and a projector, your computer
image displays on the interactive surface. You can write over any application in digital
ink, and then save these notes to a file in SMART Notebook™ collaborative learning
software for future reference and distribution.
Your SMART Board 480 interactive whiteboard is a full-speed USB 1.1 bus powered
device with no external power supply. Because USB is the primary connectivity mode,
your interactive whiteboard receives power from the computer through the included
3 m (9’ 10") USB cable. There’s no power switch on your interactive whiteboard. It’s
always running when your computer is turned on.

Features

Your SMART Board 480 interactive whiteboard is durable and reliable. It features a
rugged, hardened interactive surface, a damage-resistant pen and SMART’s
proprietary DViT™ (Digital Vision Touch) technology. Your interactive whiteboard
measures 195.6 cm (77") diagonally and has a 4:3 aspect ratio. The pen tray holds up
to two pen tray pens.
