Interactive whiteboard definition and application guide
What is an interactive whiteboard?
1. Traditional whiteboards use markers/chalk for writing - slow efficiency
2. Projector whiteboards: use multimedia projection, poor resolution
3. Interactive electronic whiteboard: multimedia,browsing,built-in writing whiteboard, resolution up to 4K
Interactive electronic whiteboard solves the defects of slow efficiency and high resolution.It also brings more features, such as: annotation,built-in whiteboard software, 20/40 point touch sensing, camera, video conferencing, etc.
Interactive whiteboards are referred to by a few different names – such as electronic whiteboards, digital whiteboards, and interactive screens. In short, an interactive whiteboard can be described as a screen that reacts to the movements of a user's fingertip or stylus.
It can be thought of as an enlarged version of a touch-screen tablet,but it differs from a tablet in terms of its size, versatility and power.
In terms of scale, interactive whiteboards are a similar size to plasma-screen TVs. They are also not portable like tablets – so it is important to note that they cannot be carried on-the-go. GPINXIN offers 8 available sizes in its GPINXIN Touch range, running from 55-inch to 110-inch screens.
It also offers a choice of Android and Windows as operating systems, so you can pick whichever interface you prefer.
Whereas tablets are designed to handle a single user at a time in close proximity to the screen, interactive whiteboards are made to be used by multiple users at once, and viewed by rooms full of people. With 4K HD screen resolution, a discreet webcam, and state-of-the-art speakers, interactive whiteboards are perfect for settings such as school classrooms, meeting rooms, and museums.

The advantages of GPINXIN interactive whiteboards
Robust but light touch-screens. Our electronic whiteboards are designed for optimal use in classrooms and other group spaces, such as waiting rooms and museum exhibitions. The monitors are sourced from the most reputable brands on the market (e.g., LG,BOE,MSI...), and have a lifetime of 50,000 hours. To put that into perspective, they will last for 30 years with 8 hours of use per day. In short, GPINXIN integrates the very best display technology – and with the majority of hardware components made of aluminium, GPINXIN Touch touch-screens are some of the lightest options on the market.
A solid metallic frame. Each GPINXIN Touch interactive whiteboard has a solid aluminium frame fixed to its chassis. This anti-shock frame is specially designed to protect your screen and its integrated infrared sensors against knocks, dents, shattering and damage.
This means the interactive part of the touch-screen is not fragile, since it is protected effectively without blocking the sensitivity of the glass.
Clear displays, even in broad daylight. Most LED screens are obscured by the mixture of artificial and natural light – but GPINXIN Touch screens are equipped with an anti-reflection layer that blocks 99.5% of reflected light.
This makes them perfect for presentations in classrooms and meeting rooms, since audiences can see clearly without users having to pull curtains closed or blinds down.
With a sturdy frame and designed for low power consumption, the GPINXIN interactive whiteboard is not only sustainable but also durable. You can also enjoy the product's standard 1-year limited warranty, giving you peace of mind.
