Underscoring its position as the industry leading
ProAV distributor that best knows how to present new technology solutions in
real-world usage application environments, Stampede today announced that its Spring 2012 Big Book of AV Tour
(BBOAV) will give ProAV dealers their first in-depth look at Sharp’s new line
of AQUOS® BOARD™ Interactive Display Systems.
According to Stampede President Kevin Kelly, “We are
honored to join forces with Sharp to present this remarkable new, game-changing
product line to North American ProAV dealers attending our Spring 2012 Big Book
of AV Tour. This year’s tour will place
added emphasis on the education channel and the AQUOS BOARD Interactive Display
Systems represent the next great advance in in-class learning and
collaboration.
With a simple user interface and the ability to
save, share and print documents including the user-input markup, educators and
students can discuss information in a whole new way.”
What’s more, Kelly emphasized, Stampede is
creating a series of customized training sessions that cover every capability
of the new AQUOS BOARD displays.
“Training is a hallmark of all our BBOAV tours but this year we are
putting an added emphasis on training to ensure that our dealers master this
remarkable new product line.”
The new line of AQUOS BOARD displays is the first
commercial grade line of interactive displays to ever carry Sharp’s AQUOS name,
a name that stands for the absolute highest quality in the minds of consumers. With 60”, 70” and 80” models now available,
Sharp AQUOS BOARD Interactive Display Systems can provide every educator with a
highly engaging learning tool that is easy to operate and allows them to
explore new teaching methods.
Further facilitating global
collaboration, the AQUOS BOARD offers users seamless integration with
presentation and video conferencing technologies, including WebEx™,
GoToMeeting™ and Skype™. Additionally,
the system will be fully compatible with a full array of familiar Microsoft®
products (Microsoft Office Suite®, Microsoft Windows 7® and Microsoft touch
Pack for Windows 7®).
In addition to the PN-L802B
stand-alone display, which comes with a three-year onsite parts and labor
limited warranty, customers also have the option of purchasing a bundled
solution. The bundle – PN-L802B-PKG –includes the AQUOS BOARD 80-inch class,
full-array, LED backlit, interactive touch-panel display, the PN-TPC2W7 Compact
Whiteboard PC and rolling cart floor stand. The whiteboard PC connects easily
to the rear of the display; utilizes an Intel® Pentium™ dual-core 2.5 GHz
processor and comes pre-loaded with Microsoft Windows 7, Sharp Pen Software™
and touch-screen drivers, and is sold with a HDMI® connecting cable for easy
system set-up.
The AQUOS BOARD 80-inch class LED touch-panel,
with full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution, is equipped with Sharp’s UV2A photo
alignment and Full Array LED backlight technologies to create an
energy-efficient screen that is easy to read in most environments, regardless
of ambient light.
Users can make meetings more interactive by
drawing and taking notes directly on-screen, and saving new versions to their
PC or printing them to a connected Sharp Multifunction Product (MFP). The
intuitive software also lets users select pen colors and eraser functions easily,
with a click of the touch pen button. Furthermore, existing images can be
easily scanned and displayed by connecting to a networked Sharp MFP via the pen
software.
With the intuitive Sharp Pen Software application,
using the tip of a finger or touch pen, users can open and close documents,
enlarge or shrink images, and even create hard-copy printouts of the final
annotated images with a compatible printer.
Because the Sharp Pen Software is compatible with Windows® 7, it can easily import
Microsoft Office® documents, including
PowerPoint® presentations.
Sharp is an industry leader with an extensive
lineup of innovative LED-LCD digital signage products in screen classes up to
80” diagonal, backed by its proven reputation for high performance, brilliant
picture quality and 24/7 reliability. Categories include AQUOS BOARD™
Interactive Display Systems, ultra-slim bezel video wall monitors and
standalone digital signage displays.
