The ActivGlide® Advantage
Promethean has applied the ActivGlide® technology to enable ActivPanel Touch to deliver its astonishing touch and viewing capabilities. superb Touch experience ActivGlide is Promethean’s “secret sauce” that enables the combination of a low friction, low heat surface optimised for extended periods of touch contact with the low glare, low reflectiveness, colour transparency and wide angle viewing (up to 178o) essential for an optimum visual experience. Benefit: users will not experience “finger burn” with continued use. superb Viewing experience ActivGlide ® glass is designed to provide a wide viewing angle. When audience stand well off-centre, they can still see the image clearly. With domestic televisions, and with lower quality flat panels, off-centre viewing often is not possible due to dark areas appearing. Benefit: the wide field of viewing (178o) is important for students sitting at the edges of the classroom.
The Low Latency of the ActivPanel
ensures near-perfect tracking for dynamic touch events Benefit: cursive writing in particular is a natural experience for teachers and students.
The Narrow Profile Infrared Bezel
ensures a touch is only registered when the user’s finger is very close to the surface (2mm). This closeness ensures that touches are registered very accurately. Benefit: users will experience highly accurate responses to touch and pen use for precision work. A natural experience for teachers and students.
The Promethean ActivPanel Touch range, available as 65”or 70” units to meet the requirements of different room sizes, has been designed and developed with the needs of education in mind. Users will appreciate the ease with which they can connect computers and other source devices such as DVD players simply and quickly without the need for additional drivers. In use, the ActivPanel Touch delivers an ultra-smooth touch through its ActivGlide® glass with its low latency ensuring a natural writing feel. Fast multi- touch recognition provides highly-reactive screen manipulation using gestures such as pinch, stretch and rotate. The slim steel bezel allows access right to the limits of the screen for edge swipes, and advanced embedded IR technology provide precise pen and touch control even in bright sunlight. The inclusion of ActivInspire Professional means that users have a world-leading authoring and presentation tool with which to prepare and deliver interactive and engaging content, and the ability to access via Promethean Planet thousands of free resources and a vibrant user community. Viewers benefit from the ActivPanel Touch’s LED array backlighting for consistent colour and contrast across the surface area and provides high visibility in virtually all lighting conditions. Full 1080p high definition supports crystal-clear images and vivid video output with the inbuilt amplifier and stereo speakers delivering room-filling sound. For those specifying and buying, the ActivPanel Touch delivers high functionality in a robust and resilient package: Advanced design, carefully-selected components and quality construction (such as the use of a steel casing and active cooling units for better heat dissipation) mean that the expected lifetime of each ActivPanel Touch is 50,000 hours (over 10 years of extended use), backed by Promethean’s comprehensive ActivCare warranty. Whether wall mounted using its industry standard VESA mount, or on its optional mobile stand, the ActivPanel Touch will give long and reliable service. Schools wanting to introduce a walk-up-and-use system will also appreciate the flexibility that the ActivPanel Touch gives through its provision of a slot that will accept an integrated open pluggable specification (OPS) computer and mounting points for miniature computer units such as the Intel® NUC.
