The Smartboard UX80-SBM600 combines the use of Smart Board M685 interactive whiteboard and Smart UX80 projector. The M600 series from Smart Technologies is the next generation of its widely successful 600 series interactive whiteboard. Available in the 87 inch diagonal M685, the M600 Smartboards are easier to use and more functional than ever.

 

The most noticeable difference is the writing surface. These boards have a hard coated, steel backed surface which is optimized for projection and compatible with dry erase markers. In addition, the board is no longer pressure sensitive. It uses Smart’s DViT technology to make the board multi-touch compatible with support for two touch points. This makes for a very durable product with no electronics in the surface.  It is even compatible with Mac and Windows gesturing, allowing you to take full advantage of the latest operating systems.

 

The M600 boards also have a revised pen tray. No longer do they ship with the four colored pens and auto detection. Instead you get 2 pens, with color select buttons built into the tray, as well as right click and on screen keyboard buttons. This means you can use the pen, or your finger, and not have to worry about the pen being in the proper slot. You can also press the color select buttons on the pen tray to change colors, or use the on screen tool bar.

 

Each board ships with Smart Drivers and a license of Smart Notebook software. This includes the popular Smart Ink feature which improves the look of handwriting for easier reading, and also allows writing to become an object in the software, where it can be manipulated.

 

With a new, more durable surface, intuitive pen tray, and support for the latest operating systems, the Smart M600 series boards make it easier than ever to be at the forefront of classroom technology.
