eBeam Education Suite is made up of eBeam Scrapbook, the eBeam Tool Palette and
eBeam Home. eBeam Education Suite makes it easy to develop, organize and communicate
classroom information. It includes software applications that allow you to annotate lessons
on-the-fly, create and save multi-page brainstorm sessions and mark up content from
outside applications. eBeam Education Suite software is easy to set up and intuitive to use,
creating a fun learning environment for students and teachers, and enhancing the impact of
every lesson plan.
eBeam Scrapbook is a powerful resource that can be used to create lessons, store
annotations and enliven curriculum material.
The eBeam Tool Palette provides quick access to important tools that can be used as a part
of Scrapbook, in conjunction with your every day applications or to annotate over your entire
desktop. The tools in the eBeam Tool Palette change depending on the environment that you
are working in.
eBeam Home works on top of Scrapbook. It creates a centralized shortcut to the most
commonly used resources, m aking the eBeam Education Suite an even more integral part of
everyday teaching resources.

Frame Rate: The frame rate determines how many snapshots per second are taken of your
screen. A higher frame rate will cause your movie to be smoother during playback. How ever,
a higher frame rate requires more memory on your PC. Setting the Frame Rate to a low er
rate can help when your PC performance is slow .
Recommended Frame Rate for Available Memory:
o
100 MB Available Memory - Set the Frame Rate to 5 frames/second
o
250 MB Available Memory - Set the Frame Rate to 10 frames/second
o
500 MB or More Available Memory - Set the Frame Rate to 15 frames/second
You can determine the amount of available memory by opening Windows Task Manager,
under the Performance Tab look at the Physical Memory (K) section, and look at the Available
Memory. Divide the Available memory by 1000 to get the number of free MB.
Recommended Frame Rate for Your Processor:
o
Pentium IV or Similar Performance - Set the Frame Rate to 5 frames/second
o
Performance less than Pentium IV - In many cases a Frame Rate of 3 frames/second
will be sufficient for good performance. However, in severe cases it is necessary to
set the Frame Rate to 1 frame/second.

The following section describes Layers and how to use them in your Scrapbook meeting.
What are Layers?
How to Use Layers
What are Layers?
Every Scrapbook page is made up of layers that can be shown or hidden at any time. The
order of these layers are:
Page Background Layer: The page background can be set using Background Settings
to display an image, display a tem plate of a grid or horizontal lines, and/or be set to a
specific background color. The page background cannot be modified by the annotation
tools.
Annotation Layers: The annotation layers are transparent layers that are stacked on
top of the page background layer. These layers contain Scrapbook elements.
Any Scrapbook page can have multiple annotation layers. When you add a new layer, it is
stacked on top of the existing layers. This means that annotations are displayed with the
latest layer shown at the top.
The three types of annotation layers that are found in each Scrapbook page are:
Default Layer: The default annotation layer in the Scrapbook page. This layer
o
always exists for any Scrapbook page and cannot be deleted.
User Layers 1 - 18: Up to 18 additional layers can be added to a Scrapbook
o
page. The default layer and the user layers are always shared to remote
participants during a shared meeting.
Private Layer: The top-most layer is the private layer. The private layer is shown
o
only on the local computer and is never shared through a shared meeting. The
purpose of the private layer is to give the local user a private workspace within
the Scrapbook session. Note: Private layers are hidden when a shared meeting is
synchronized.
All annotation layers can be locked and/or shown/hidden.
How to Use Layers
Turn on layers by choosing Layers from the View Menu. This opens the Layers dialog box
that lets you select, add, delete and move layers of a Scrapbook page.
Layers Title Bar
The Layers dialog title bar indicates which Scrapbook page you are currently working in.
Add Layer adds a new blank layer to the currently selected Scrapbook
page. The new layer is always added as the top-most layer (under the
user layer). The new layer is alw ays added as visible and unlocked.
Delete Layer
Delete Layer causes the selected layer to be deleted. It is not possible
to delete the private or default layers.
Move Layer Up
Move Layer Up causes the layer to be moved one level higher in the
layer list. The highest a layer can be moved is directly below the private
layer. The private and default layers cannot be moved.
Move Layer Down
Move Layer Down causes the layer to be moved one level lower in the
layer list. The lowest a layer can be moved is directly above the default
layer. The private and default layers cannot be moved.
Show/Hide
Show/Hide makes the layer visible/invisible. When the eye is shown in the
box, the layer is visible on the page. When the box is empty, the layer is
invisible.
Lock Layer
Lock Layer protects the layer from any new annotations. When the padlock is
shown in the box, the layer is locked. When the box is empty, it is possible to
add Scrapbook elements to the layer.

Each layer has it's own settings. These settings are described in the table below.

Scrapbook Elements
The content of a Scrapbook page is made up of several types of objects known as elements.
These elements are annotations, shapes, text boxes, image files and Flash files. Each
element is selectable using the Select Tool.
See the following topics:
What is a Scrapbook Element? : This topic defines the Annotation, Shapes, Text Box,
Image File and Flash file elements.
How to Use Scrapbook Elements: Describes things you can do with Scrapbook elements,
such as moving, duplicating, locking, etc.
What is a Scrapbook Element?
Scrapbook elements are described in the following table.
Excel Spreadsheets (*.xls). See Import a PowerPoint, Excel and Word Document.
PowerPoint Presentations (*.ppt). See Import a Pow erPoint, Excel and Word Document.
Word Document (*.doc, *.rtf). See Import a PowerPoint, Excel and Word Document.
Notes:
Excel, PowerPoint and Word documents can only be loaded as elements one page at a time.
To load more than one page at a time, see Background Settings.
If you attempt to load a file type that is not supported the page w ill display a file icon and the
filename, but will not attempt to load that file into the page.
Flash Files
Flash file in *.swf (Flash file) and *.flv (Flash movie) formats can be imported into the Scrapbook
page as elements.
Scrapbook will automatically embed play controls into your Flash element so you can use them
with your Select tool to play, pause, rewind or fast forward the movie. There is also a progress
bar which you can use to move to any particular point in the playback.
To import Flash into a Scrapbook page:
Choose Page > Add Flash File and select the file in the Open dialog box, or
Drag-and-drop the Flash file onto your Scrapbook page.
Notes:
The entire Flash file will be embedded into your Scrapbook file so it can greatly increase your
file size.
Due to the size of the Flash elements, they are not displayed during a shared meeting. A
container will appear in the participant page, but video will not run.
Flash elements can not be grouped, added to the Master Page, deleted using the Del key or
modified using the Scrapbook Elements Edit Toolbar (a.k.a. the Object Edit Tools).
To rotate an element, first select the element and then tap and hold the top
handle. The mouse cursor will change to circular arrows to indicate that you are
ready to rotate the element(s). If you are rotating a group of elements you can
grab the handle of any element in the group. Drag the handle clockwise or
counter-clockwise to rotate.
Notes:
During rotation the object is redrawn continuously. The smoothness of the
rotation depends on the speed of the computer, so on slower computers the
rotation will be less smooth.
Select Individual or Multiple Elements
Most operations on an element require that you select the element first. When an
element is selected it will have drag handles and a rotate handle.
Select an element by choosing the
Scrapbook page. To deselect an element use the Select Tool and click anywhere outside
of the element's bounding box.
To select multiple elements draw a rectangle around the elements with the Select Tool
or click multiple elements individually while holding the Ctrl key. The elem ents are
selected but are not grouped.
To select all elements on a Scrapbook page at once:

Excel Files: Select a sheet. Only one sheet can be imported at a time.
The Scrapbook import typically decreases the file size of PowerPoint slides that contain high
quality im ages by converting the images into a lower quality im age format. This means that
the images shown in Scrapbook are not as sharp or clear as the original PowerPoint slides.
If you want retain the high image quality of the original PowerPoint slides, do the following
when im porting to Scrapbook:
Choose Edit > Options.
1.
Select the Preferences tab.
2.
Check the Use original image quality checkbox found under PowerPoint Presentation
3.

The diagram on the left demonstrates what each of
the buttons on the Interactive Stylus are used for.
The bottom button (button furthest from the tip) is
the Tool Palette button that is used to show and
hide the Tool Palette.
The Tool Palette button is also used in gesturing.
Gesture Based Navigation
Gesture Based Navigation (gesturing) is an advanced navigation style that allows you to
navigate the various eB eam Tool palette using click-sweep motions of the Interactive Stylus.
Gesturing allows you to select between tools and tool properties without needing to have the
Interactive Tools palettes visible on the screen.
See the following topics for more information.
Activate Gesture Based Navigation
How Gesturing Works
Mapping a Gesture to a Tool
Mapping a Gesture to a Property
Activate Gesture Based Navigation
To activate gesture based navigation, select the Options button from eBeam Education
Taskbar Menu, and select the Gesture Based Navigation checkbox.
How Gesturing Works
How to Gesture
All gesture selections are performed using the Tool Palette button on the Interactive Stylus
without touching the stylus to the projection surface. To gesture, hold the Interactive Stylus
so that you can comfortably press the Tool Palette button with your finger.
Gestures can be performed anywhere on the screen area, regardless of the visibility or
location of the Tool Palette.
A gesture begins when you press and hold the Tool Palette button and ends when the
button is released. The invisible path of motion that is drawn between pressing and releasing
the Tool Palette button determines the gesture selection.
Once you're in the desired tool property, you can make a selection by gesturing a straight
line from any given point on the screen to the direction of the desired property and then
back again to the starting point, all in one motion.
Switch T o T he Color Property Ring
To switch to the color property, begin a gesture from any given point on the screen and
draw a straight line to the left, and then down - forming an approximate 90 degree corner.
Switch to the Line Thickness Property Ring
To switch to the thickness property, begin a gesture from any given point on the screen and
draw a straight line to the right, and then down - forming an approximate 90 degree
corner.
Switch to the Shapes Property Ring
The Shapes Tool is the only tool that has a shapes property.
To switch to the shapes property, begin a gesture from any given point on the screen and
draw a straight line down, and then left OR right - forming an approximate 90 degree
corner.
Mapping a Gesture to a Tool
The Tool Palette contains 8 main tools in any environment.
One of eight tools can be selected at a time by gesturing a straight line from any point on
the screen to the direction of the desired tool.
Mapping a Gesture to a Tool Property
A tool property is some defining characteristic of a tool. In the case of the
properties are pen color and line thickness.
Each tool might also have a property ring that can have from 4 to 8 different selections. For
inform ation on how to select a single property from a property ring, see Select a Property.
It is only possible to use one property ring at a time. If you have just gestured to select a
color but now want to select line thickness, you must change the property ring. See the
following topics for information on how to change between the different property rings.
The eBeam Inscribe wireless tablet allows you to make annotations during presentations or
while using Scrapbook using just the wireless pen and tablet and the Tablet Toolbar. You
have a number of options for configuring the behavior of the tablet and pen, including
Scrapbook Direct, Standard Mouse Mode, Absolute Mouse Mode and Relative Mouse Mode.
See the following topics:

Installing the Wireless Tablet
Installing the wireless tablet is a simple two-step process.
1. Install the driver (included on the installation CD or found at http://www.e-beam.com
under Downloads).
2. Pair the tablet and your PC .
Pairing the Tablet
Pairing the tablet is the process of establishing communication between your PC and the
tablet. You must do this before the tablet will function with your computer.
To pair the tablet
Plug the USB receiver, or key, into a USB port on your PC.
1.
Turn on the wireless tablet by pressing its power button for at least three seconds.

receiver sim ultaneously. Both the LCD display of the tablet and the blue LED of the USB
receiver will blink.
Once the binding process has finished, notice that the LCD display of the tablet will show
4.
000 to 005. If binding multiple tablets to a PC, each tablet will show a unique three digit
number.
Note: You can pair up to five different tablets to your PC.
Absolute and Relative Mouse Mode
There are two ways to control the cursor when using the tablet--Absolute Mouse Mode and
Relative Mouse Mode.
In Absolute Mouse Mode (the default setting), the area of the tablet is mapped directly to the
screen area. The upper right tablet area equals the upper right corner of screen. When
Scrapbook Direct is turned on and you are using Absolute Mouse Mode, the tablet surface
maps directly to the Scrapbook page.
In Relative Mouse Mode, the pen and tablet behave the way a mouse typically works, or like
a touch pad on a laptop. You can touch down, make a mark, lift up the pen, move it to the
left or right, touch down again, and begin moving from the same spot on the screen. There is
no direct or literal mapping of the tablet area to the screen workspace.
In Scrapbook, use this button to choose the Select Tool. Outside of Scrapbook, use
this button to select the Mouse from Desktop Tool.

left-click.
Right-click - Pressing the button closest to the tip is the equivalent of a right-click.
Double-click - Pressing the button farthest from the tip is the equivalent of a
double-click.
Scrapbook Direct
With Scrapbook Direct turned on, the entire tablet working area is mapped directly to the
current Scrapbook page. Since the pen and tablet cannot access anything outside of the
current Scrapbook page when Scrapbook Direct is turned on, you can use the pen with the
tablet toolbar along the top of the tablet to select different tools rather than changing tools
with the eBeam Tool Palette.

A Shared Scrapbook Meeting is a meeting that is broadcast over your local intranet or the
Internet.
At one location, the meeting coordinator/host uses the interactive system (software and
hardware) to host or broadcast the meeting over the network (see Hosting/Sharing a
Meeting). Rem ote participants use the interactive software or a Web browser to log into the
meeting (see Join a Meeting).
The meeting is held in real time, which means that remote participants see the notes and
annotations as they are created.
If the meeting coordinator allows, participants can annotate meeting pages, highlight
important points, and add notes that can be seen by all other participants as well as the
coordinator.
To allow remote participants (located outside of your local network firewall) to access your
shared m eeting, the meeting server must be located on the Internet. Luidia currently hosts a
meeting server that may be used by any eBeam-enabled interactive system user.
The meeting name is the name show n in the Join Meeting dialog box. The meeting name is
saved as the default name for subsequent meetings, until you change it. The meeting name can
be up to 20 characters.

Send Meeting
Invitation
Meeting invitations are e-mail invitations that are sent out using your standard e-mail client. If Send Meeting Invitation is checked, the Send Invitation dialog box opens once you select
the Share Meeting button. See Sending an Invitation for more information.
Hosting/Sharing a Meeting
The following explains how to host/share a meeting over your local intranet or the
Internet.
When sharing a meeting, be aware of the following items.
While Scrapbook v2.2 can open files created by previous versions of Scrapbook (v2.1 and
earlier), previous versions of Scrapbook cannot open v2.2 files. During shared meetings,
previous versions of Scrapbook do not support (will not display) text boxes created in
Scrapbook v2.2. Scrapbook v2.2 will display (but cannot edit) text boxes created by
previous versions of Scrapbook.
If hosting a shared meeting using Scrapbook v2.2, we recommend that you select the
Deny access to remote participants with mismatched software versions checkbox
from the Share Meeting dialog box.
If you share the meeting on your local intranet, only people within your intranet can
access the meeting. If you share your meeting over the Internet (using an eBeam
server), participants from any Internet location can access your meeting.
To share a meeting an interactive receiver or software activation must be detected. Also,
if there is any possibility that your network uses a proxy server, see
You can host one shared meeting at any time.
