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.
