PC requirements

• Windows 95/98 or NT4.0
• 4 MB of RAM (Meetings requires min 16MB)
• 6 MB of hard disk space
• VGA or SVGA colour monitor

  CD ROM drive to install the software

eBeam is supplied with 4 standard whiteboard pens and 4 pen sleeves (see picture below).
Simply put the pens in the sleeves ... and when you write on your whiteboard, a slight sound is emitted which is used by the sensors to track the exact location of your pen (so that it knows what and where you are writing)

Work Smarter with eBeam. Here's how ...

• In fact, by being connected to your PC, e-Beam allows you to print everything you write ... in black & white ... or colour ... and on standard plain paper !
• Better still, you can e-mail a client or co-worker, the contents of the meeting. If someone did not attend the meeting ... no problem ...just e-mail them
• In fact, you can broadcast your meeting over the internet (or corporate intranet) in real time with the e-Beam software supplied (This is what computer boffins call a 'DataConference')
• Export your meeting notes into popular formats, such as word processors, spreadsheets or web pages (that's right ... e-Beam lets you easily publish your whiteboard notes as a HTML, Adobe PDF, JPEG, GIF, TIF, EPS and more ... document)
