What is eBeam Interactive?

What is eBeam Interactive?
eBeam Interactive is the ultimate communications system that turns your 3M Digital WallDisplay into a powerful, fully interactive digital presentation system. The 3M Digital WallDisplay contains a small, lightweight receiver that communicates with software on your presentation PC. During a presentation, the receiver captures every written, drawn or projected whiteboard image and transfers the information to your computer where the e-beam softare creates a complete, stroke-by­stroke record of the presentation.
You can use the 3M Digital WallDisplay with your computer for recording white board notations or with the projector projector for interactive presentations controlled directly from the projected image. No matter how you use it, the eBeam software records everthing from your presentation.
The 3M Digital WallDisplay helps you raise the reach of and level of participation in classroom discussions, faculty/ administration meetings, corporate brainstorming, sales demonstrations, product design reviews and training sessions. Use eBeam to lower travel costs by holding productive, interactive meetings on your local network or across the Internet. Share presentation results easily by printing, faxing, ing, e-mailing files or by archiving them for anytime Internet access.
From the conference room to the classroom, the 3M Digital WallDisplay is the perfect solution for more effective meetings and increased teamwork.
The eBeam Interactive software includes some of the following features:
• Control your PowerPoint presentations like never before. Run the entire slideshow from the projection area. Annotate your slides and even save the annotations back into the original PowerPoint file.
• Share your presentation and/or notes over the Internet or your intranet in real time.
• Allow remote users to log in and annotate the presentation in real time.
• Archive complete presentations and discussions.
• Use your projection area as a virtual whiteboard.
• Replay, edit, fax, print, and annotate images from your meetings or attach them to e-mail messages.
• Copy and paste notes into most popular office applications.
