MeetingBoard
Note: For additional information, see the InterWrite MeetingBoard help file on the CD-ROM.
InterWrite MeetingBoard consists of an electronic whiteboard and elec-
tronic pens incorporating GTCO CalComps patented pen-input technol-
ogy. With MeetingBoard, meeting participants can view and share a wide
range of visual information. MeetingBoard supports group collaboration
ranging from small, informal meetings to large, multi-site conferences.
To match a wide range of collaboration needs, MeetingBoard provides
three operating modes:
n Copyboard Mode: MeetingBoard functions as a simple electronic
whiteboard. Information written or drawn on the tablet can be saved by
printing on a color inkjet printer.
n PC Whiteboard Mode: In this configuration, MeetingBoard is con-
nected to a PC running InterWrite Software. Information written or drawn
on the tablet is captured as an electronic image on the PC. Users can
review, save and print multipage meeting notes on the PC.
n Interactive Mode: A standard LCD projector displays the attached
PCs screen onto the MeetingBoard tablet. With the MeetingBoard pens
and InterWrite Software, a user can launch programs, open and edit
documents, and annotate any information displayed on the PC. The
user can save screens (containing both document content and annota-
tions), review previously saved screens, and print screens. This sys-
tem can be used for local meetings, or as part of a real-time multi-site
conference (when used with conferencing software and a network con-
nection). Screens can be packaged in a self-extracting file for distribu-
tion to meeting participants, as well as those who couldnt attend.
What you need to do
First, install:
A. Assemble the electronic pens (page 1).
B. Attach the pen tray to the tablet (page 1).
C. Mount the tablet on a wall or on the optional floor stand (page 2).
Next, configure for at least one operating mode (page 3):
n Color Copyboard mode.
n PC Whiteboard mode.
n Interactive mode.
You can now use the InterWrite MeetingBoard (page 4).
Assemble the electronic pens
1. Locate the marker holders, electronics modules, batteries, pen caps and
markers supplied. The pens are electronically coded to match the plastic
colors: black, blue, red and green.
2. Insert a marker into the pen housing with the matching color (e.g., red
marker goes in red housing).
3. Remove the markers cap and replace it with a MeetingBoard pen cap.
Note: Keep the markers capped as much as possible to prevent them
from drying out. The caps enable the electronic pens to be used in Inter-
active Mode without leaving ink on the tablet.
4. Remove the battery cover from a pen electronics module. Insert a battery
into the module (assure polarity is correct!). Replace the battery cover.
5. Snap the pen electronics module into a marker housing (any module can
be used with any marker housing).
6. The LED should flash four times, indicating the pen is working correctly.
Attach the pen tray to the tablet
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the controller, do not rest the
MeetingBoard tablet on the controller housing (located on the rear of the
tablet near one corner). Do not scratch or damage the tablets writing
surface.
1. Snap a tray bracket onto each end of the pen tray.
2. Attach the tray brackets to the bottom rear of the tablet using six Phillips
screws as shown below.
