Using Webster with a Projector
With a projector connected to your Webster TS or LT system, a variety
of powerful options becomes available. When you project the
computer desktop onto the board, the board acts as though it were a
large touch-sensitive computer monitor. Webster IRP and IPD models
always display your computer screen, so these models always
operate in projection mode.
You can use the stylus or your finger (on TS models) as a mouse to
control your computer and all the software on it, thus freeing you to
focus entirely on the whiteboard.
From the whiteboard, you can control interactive presentations using
software such as PowerPoint. Webster enables you to write over the
image displayed on the board and capture the resulting image as a
snapshot. You can:
•
Use Webster as a touch screen to control your computer
•
Run slide presentations entirely from the front of the room
•
Capture and mark up any image from your computer
Getting Started in Projection Mode
Before using projection mode, install Webster software on your
computer and connect the computer to the whiteboard. Refer to
“Installing Webster Software” on page 18 if these steps are not yet
completed.
To enter projection mode:
1
Connect your computer to the projector and turn on the
projector, the Webster hardware, and the computer.
2
If you are using the Webster TS or LT models, move the projector
so that the image of the computer desktop projects squarely
onto your whiteboard’s white area, without covering the icon
strip or whiteboard frame. The projected image need not fill the
white area completely.
3
Launch the Webster software.
