Vivitek’s NovoTouch EK Series for Education


Education professionals and


students are set to benefit from more immersive and mem- orable lessons and lectures, following the introduction of Vivitek’s NovoTouch EK Series for Education - an all-in-one collaborative touch panel. The new NovoTouch EK Series in- teractive flat panels combine wireless collaboration, a digital whiteboard and active digital signage into one display. Devel- oped to deliver value to educa- tional institutions both in and out of class or lesson time, the NovoTouch EK Series for Edu- cation is available immediately, in sizes ranging from 65”, 75”


Further enhancing support for all new pedagogic teach- ing and learning experiences, is the handy Screen Record- ing feature, NT Minute, which captures everything on the No- voTouch screen as a video clip. This function enables teachers and lecturers to write on the screen and create their own teaching materials that can be saved for use later. Students can also review the lesson at a later stage, which means absent students can catch up quickly and easily. Also set to be of value, is its wireless screen-out function, NT Live, which allows real-time screen duplication to multiple No- voTouch screens in the virtual Hub, which is ideal for classes


ment. Furthermore, from a day-to-day convenience per- spective, the device can be managed over the network remotely. In addition to its low TCO, users benefit from the reassurance of a five-year warranty.

or groups that need to be split across two classrooms. To ensure that the NovoTouch offers value on their investment to educational institutions out- side of lessons and lectures, it also doubles up as an An- nouncement Board, thanks to its built-in NovoDS, an intuitive digital signage solution which is easy to use without any pro- gramming skills. With NovoDS included, the NovoTouch EK Series can be used to commu- nicate important or useful in- formation in between lessons, ranging from school notices, sport activities updates or re- sults, club event information or information about classroom or lesson changes. Messages can be created using a flexible playlist and with dynamic con- tent ranging from text, audio, photos and videos to webpag- es, Twitter, RSS feeds, Google Calendar, weather updates and more.
