options to support 4:3 and 16:10.

The interactive pen display uses a 12V DC power supply adapter, which comes with the unit.

N

  N O T E

The interactive pen display switches to the appropriate voltage automatically.

The interactive pen display conforms to the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA®)

power saving guidelines.

DViT technology

Four digital cameras, one in each corner of the interactive pen display, track the position of the

tethered pen as it moves across the interactive surface.

Durable surface

The interactive surface features hardened glass that is scratch-resistant and optimised for projection.
