PLUS Corporation’s new C-20 CaptureBoard allows a user to combine and save the image projected on the writing surface along with hand-written notes. In addition to an improved writing surface and the ability to print to an on-board printer, it can be used as a copyboard. PLUS claims the surface of the C-20 has the properties of both a projection screen and a dry-erase board with minimal reflection or glare. When connected to a Windows-based computer via a USB cable, the C-20’s software allows users to save the projected image and written notes together as a single image file (JPG, PNG or PDF). The C-20 is the first CaptureBoard with the ability to print the combined image directly to the optional on-board color printer.
When not being used with a projected image, the CaptureBoard can also serve as an electronic copyboard. With the push of a button, users can quickly save their hand-written notes to a USB memory stick, a USB-connected PC or Mac computer (no software necessary), or print out their notes via an optional on-board printer. In addition, the network capability of the C-20 allow users to save data to the board’s internal memory or to an FTP server. The data can then be accessed via any network-connected computer. When saved to the C-20’s internal memory, the image files are accessible even when the board is in standby mode.

Industry-first mobile device features are also available when the C-20 is used as a copyboard. PLUS’ smartphone application — MTG Pocket App — allows attendees to scan the board’s written notes using their iPhone, iPod touch or iPad, with support for Android smartphones coming soon.
