ViewSonic expands its ViewBoard portfolio with three new additions

ViewSonic Corp., announced additions to the ViewBoard family of interactive flat panel displays. The ViewSonic IFP50 series includes the IFP6550 (65-inch), IFP7550 (75-inch) and IFP8650 (86-inch) interactive flat panels with UHD 4K (3840x2160) resolution and 20-point touch screen.

The user experience on ViewBoard interactive flat panels is highlighted by their intuitive two-finger Floating Pen and exclusive one-touch to Google Drive Save features, by placing control at fingertips or at the tip of a stylus. During discussions, a host can access and control a presenter’s Windows/Mac device remotely via ViewBoard’s Touch Back Control, thus sharing control of the presenter’s device.

With open collaboration in mind, ViewBoard interactive flat panels are fit for integration into Google-based environments, offer seamless Windows compatibility, and come equipped with Mac multi-touch gesture mirroring. Pairing ViewBoard 20-point touch display with pre-installed tools, such as vBoard for annotation, ViewBoard Cast for content sharing (Compatible with Windows/Mac/iOS/Android devices), and Zoom conference software allows multiple users to remotely write, share, and interact simultaneously as if they were in the same room. The easy-to-use vBoard software allows users to write, highlight, edit and transform documents and images on the screen in real time. Built-in Cast software ensures that content can be shared from any mobile device directly to ViewBoard screens, while Zoom supports video conferencing and distance learning for up to 10 users in various locations.

According to the company, the IFP50 series can be coupled with an optional slot-in PC, which comes pre-loaded with the Windows 10 OS and grants users access to the specialized ViewBoard 2.1 annotation software for more dynamic interactivity functions. Supporting DisplayPort 4K input, HDMI-out, as well as shared USB and LAN ports for the embedded player and optional PC makes the IFP50 series flexible enough to fit a wide range of user scenarios. Versatile connectivity options provide users with hassle-free connection to a multitude of devices, while the VESA-compatible design allows for placement on a wall mount or trolley for flexible installation anywhere, no matter the occasion.

The HDMI-out mirroring capability delivers group discussion and spatial arrangement flexibility by allowing content to be mirrored on to two ViewBoard’s or any other compatible displays. For example, the ViewBoard can be combined with the ViewSonic Pro8 series projector and HB10B HDBaseT kit to enable presenters to magnify screen for more engaging large venue presentations via LAN cable connection from up to 35 metres away for 4K content.

IFP50 series interactive flat panel displays come with a built-in ARM quad-core processor, 2GB memory, 16GB storage, and provide powerful computing for annotation and multimedia playback without the need for a PC. IFP50 series displays are built to last with anti-glare 7H tempered glass and a Flicker-free and blue light filter, making these displays ideal for various environments, including boardrooms or classrooms, where interactivity and sharing are encouraged.

“The ViewSonic ViewBoard IFP50 series displays are intuitively designed, user-friendly, and easy-to-use interactive flat panels,” said Eric Wei, Senior Sales Director, ViewSonic Asia- Pacific. “ViewBoard interactive flat panels are developed for business and education settings, packed with features that allow users to collaborate and share content in a variety of ways, including between devices. With the native 4K resolution, these displays deliver incredible picture quality, as well as smooth, super-fast computing and responsive touch capabilities for an immersive multimedia experience.”

These interactive flat panel displays also help educators advance their curriculum to the next level with optional Qwizdom Oktopus and Ximbus Solutions. Oktopus collaboration software lets users annotate and work over and/or alongside any application, existing content or over a web browser which supports .iwb and .notebook file formats and accesses to 10,000+ ready-to-use lessons online. Ximbus is a cloud-based collaboration and sharing solution for Google classrooms, and features Google Drive and contacts integration.

According to the company, the models IFP6550, IFP7550 and IFP8650 will be available at a price of Rs.3,50,000/-, Rs.7,00,000/- and Rs.9,00,000/-, respectively from May 2018.
