About your SMART Table

Your SMART Table is an interactive learning center with a touch-sensitive surface. By touching the surface, students can create, select, move and resize digital objects. More than one student can touch the surface at a time. This encourages collaboration and cooperation as students learn and play together.
Using the Wi-Fi® network connection to a SMART Sync™ Teacher computer, a teacher can observe the student’s activities from a distance, take control of the table, and capture and print the tabletop image.
Page 10
2 | CHAPTER 1 – OVERVIEW
The software on your SMART Table includes interactive applications, learning activities and educational games. You can customize the activities using the SMART Table Toolkit. Install and run the toolkit on your computer and then transfer your changes to the SMART Table using the USB bracelet or SMART Sync software.
NOTE
SMART Sync software is included with your toolkit. Other versions of SMART Sync may not be compatible with the toolkit. Contact SMART Technical Support for more information.
You can use your SMART Table with other SMART products as part of an overall learning solution. For example, you can introduce a new concept to students on a SMART Board™ interactive whiteboard, and then ask the students to explore the idea in detail using the SMART Table.

How your SMART Table works

Your SMART Table contains five main components:
•Computer
•Projector
Speakers
•Camera
•Surface
The computer runs the SMART Table software, the projector projects the computer’s display onto the surface, the speakers play the computer’s audio and the camera detects students’ touch on the surface. Combined, these components allow students to interact with SMART Table software.
The computer, projector, speakers and camera are inside the SMART Table’s cabinet, while the surface is on the SMART Table’s top. The UPS provides backup power to the computer if power is unexpectedly disconnected from the SMART Table, allowing the computer to shut down safely.
Your SMART Table uses DViT™ (Digital Vision Touch) technology to detect multiple students’ touches. Other SMART products use DViT technology, including select SMART Board interactive whiteboards, SMART Board interactive displays and SMART Podium™ interactive pen displays.
