What is a SMART Podium interactive pen display?
A SMART Podium interactive pen display is a presentation tool that connects to your computer and projector. The ID350, ID370 and DT770 can be placed on a table, lectern or desk, flush mounted permanently or placed on an adjustable arm to create an interactive presentation environment. It is ideal for presenting to larger audiences, in smaller settings during group collaboration, or when sharing your desktop with Bridgit conferencing.
You can easily control your computer by touching the ID350 or ID370’s interactive screen with the pen tool. Additionally, use your finger or pen tool for the DT770. You can write in digital ink over any computer application and then save all your work to a single file so you can distribute it by e-mail, post it online or save it to a network.

All SMART Podium products connect effortlessly to a computer and projector. The image displayed on the screen is simultaneously projected onto a larger screen for the audience to see. Changes you make with your pen tool or finger automatically appear on the projected image.
