Q. How can someone review a file after the meeting? Can we edit these pages?

A. There are several ways to view previously recorded Webster LT Series files. Through

SBView, anyone can view or print pages from a previously recorded session exactly as it was created, however, users cannot make changes to the file. SBRecord enables users to change the existing file, including the ability to erase information, insert and remove page breaks, and copy or delete pages.

Q. Can I use the Webster LT Series whiteboard with my existing LCD Projector?

A. Yes. The Webster LT Series whiteboard works with any LCD projector. Simply plug both units into the same computer, and project the computer image onto the interactive whiteboard surface. The SBProjection application enables users to control the computer from the whiteboard surface. The gray stylus performs just like a computer mouse. Double tap on application icon to launch an application, and use SBMarkup to capture and annotate any computer image.

Q. Does SB Projection support “right” mouse clicks?

A. This function depends on the Webster LT Series being used. All Webster LT System 300/400/500s have an electronic stylus with two buttons on the pen barrel. The button closest to the pen tip is the “right” mouse click. The Webster LT Series whiteboard also has a “right” mouse click function. This feature is available via a software applet. SoftBoard Pen Control (SBProjection), has the option of enabling a “Key Palette” that allows the user to switch between right and left mouse clicks.

Q. Are handwriting recognition applications available?

A. Several third party software applications are available. Using the Webster LT Series whiteboard in projection mode or System 300/400/500s, applications such as SMART writer by Advanced Recognition Technologies, Inc. or PenOffice by Paragraph convert handwriting into text, and directly exports to documents in applications such as Microsoft Excel or Word.

Q. Can I use standard dry erase makers on my Webster LT
Series whiteboard?

A. Yes, however, if using non-Webster LT pens, you will not be able to record information to the computer. The Webster LT Series pens have reflective collars permanently mounted on the tips to automatically determine color and position on the whiteboard. Additionally, Webster LT pens are alcohol based (no Keytone), are odorless and greatly reduce the amount of pen dust generated.

Q. What is included with the Webster LT Series Whiteboards?

A. Every Webster LT whiteboard ships with the following:

Two boxes of dry erase pens
One large and one small eraser
12-foot serial cable
8-foot power cable
