Sounds
Audible feedback indicates which tool you are using. By
default, the whiteboard emits the following sounds:
•
Fanfare:
on startup and shutdown
•
Beep:
selecting a tool (pen or eraser)
•
Hum:
using an eraser function
•
Clicks: touching or writing on the whiteboard
Multiple whiteboards
When more than one Polaroid whiteboard is connected to
your PC (tiling), a pen color or erase function selected for
one board applies to all boards.
For more information on tiling, see Using More Than
One Whiteboard on page 2-13.
Data recording formats and resolution
Your Polaroid whiteboard uses a vector-based system,
recording points as you write and storing those points as
a set of “strokes.” The data transfer rate between the
whiteboard and your PC is 192 points per second as you
move along the whiteboard. Since under most conditions
ibid
records more data than can be displayed or printed,
the data is compressed and near identical points are dis-
carded to reduce file size.
ibid can export data in any of the following formats:
•
Bitmap (.bmp)
•
Windows metafiles (.wmf)
•
JPEG (.jpg)
•
TIFF (.tif)
