  5. Overview: Interactive Presentation Manager (IPM) A digital electronic white board and pen, connected to a PC and an LCD projector, creating a 77” diagonal interactive projection screen. Interactive Products Division Numonics Corporation ISO 9001 Certified (c) Burlington County College 2002

  6. Interactive Presentation Manager (1 of 3) • Can be used like a regular white board to write class notes, draw diagrams, etc. • Can also be used to run a computer, allowing the presenter to control the computer environment with the pen while remaining in front of the audience. • All computer functions are transferred from the PC to the IPM’s electronic pen. • IPM allows you to develop and delivermultimedia presentationseasily, using the customizable Softkeys (located on either side of the white board). (c) Burlington County College 2002

  7. Interactive Presentation Manager (2 of 3) • The Softkey Editor allows you to directly link Softkeys to any program or file available on the computer. • With one touch of the multimedia pen, you can play audio/video files, launch applications, and open documents. • You can also annotate screens and save them for later distribution or use in a slide presentation. For example, many of the screens you see in this presentation were saved from IPM. (c) Burlington County College 2002

  8. Interactive Presentation Manager (3 of 3) • Allows you to: • write class notes on the electronic white board • launch and control various applications, such as Word Excel C++ I. E. & Netscape • capture/re-use information • save/email/print screens • create & run slide shows "Snapshot" (c) Burlington County College 2002

  9. How to Set Up the Interactive Presentation Manager (IPM) • First attach all cables to the white board, the LCD projector & the computer: serial/power cable to the COM port of computer, with other end of cable to underside of pen tray on IPM. • Then plug in IPM board. • Then turn on LCD projector. • Then turn on computer. • Attach electronic pen and recharge cable to IPM jack (adjacent to serial cable on underside of pen tray). • Then calibrate the pen (the pen needs to line up with the on-screen cursor). (c) Burlington County College 2002

  10. Calibration • Whenever the IPM’s mouse cursor does not line up with the pen tip, you must calibrate the IPM pen. • Calibration should always be the first thing you do when using the board. • To calibrate the IPM pen: • first click the <Calibrate> Softkey (# 20): • then click the <Calibrate> button (2nd from left on the bottom of the screen): • then follow the onscreen instructions, clicking all four corner markers in order.
