Introduction
1. Introduction
1.1 Preparations before Use
This section covers preparations before using the StarBoard. Please read this section
thoroughly if you are using the StarBoard for the first time.
1.1.1 Product Overview
StarBoard T-17SXL is a convenient and easy-to-use tablet-type interactive electronic
board that lets you operate a PC with a stylus pen, and write text and images to a PC
screen in real time as well as simultaneously input those to the PC. Those features work
when the included software is set up on a PC connected to the StarBoard.
1.1.2 Features
{Write directly to the PC screen
Use the stylus pen just like a mouse to operate the PC on the screen displayed on the
LCD monitor. The StarBoard Software allows text and images to be written to the PC,
and allows the text and images to be input to the PC as digital data in real time. That
data can then be saved, printed, or otherwise manipulated.
{Use as soon as the PC is started up
The StarBoard can be used as soon as the PC is started up, by just installing the
StarBoard Software package included.
{Compatible with presentations in PowerPoint
Text and images can be written into presentation materials prepared in Microsoft
PowerPoint. That allows you to further enhance presentation expression. Presentations
can also be linked to remote meetings.
{Write on video images
Write text and images to screens of captured video. That allows for easy use of video
materials in classes and presentations.
{Eight function buttons
Standard functions used frequently in the StarBoard Software are assigned to the eight
function buttons located on the top left side of the StarBoard. Those buttons act as
shortcuts when using the software.
