NEC Updates Interactive Software – Adds Apple TV Compatibility

NEC’s Interactive Software gives displays SMART Technology-like features for classroom instruction. It’s used in conjunction with all NEC projectors that have networking capabilities and is compatible with Apple’s iPad. It’s been about a year since it’s been shipping and now they’ve added more features, such as:

  • Record all annotation and audio from a presentation for playback at a later date
  • Share videos on YouTube, Facebook or via email
  • Select whether or not the iPad will be connected to a server (PC or Mac) upon opening the app
  • Connect directly from the iPad to an Apple TV without need for a server
  • Use an onscreen wrist guard to prevent unintended annotations from a palm being place on the iPad surface
  • Direct controls for Microsoft Keynote and PowerPoint programs

Although aimed at education, it can be used in meeting room presentation environments too. To use NEC’s Interactive Software, customers must download the program to a computer and the companion Doceri app in iTunes to an iPad. By connecting both devices to a wired or wireless network via a network infrastructure or ad-hoc connection, complete control of the PC or Mac from the iPad is possible. This link creates a collaborative environment between the presenter and participants from anywhere within the classroom or boardroom.

Here are all the details.
