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.

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.
