Getting to Know the 4000i
The Rear Projection SMART Board 4000i interactive whiteboard is a slim cabinet with an
integrated LCD projector and a 66" (167.6 cm) interactive whiteboard (measured on the
diagonal), which is specially designed for enhanced rear projection clarity. The 4000i features:
• an integrated projection system that includes an Epson PowerLite 9300i projector with
2500 ANSI lumen brightness, SXGA+ resolution and high contrast ratio for uniform
brightness and clarity
• a touch-sensitive, high contrast screen that you can use to control your computer and
write in electronic ink over any active application
• a SMART pen tray (including four styluses and an eraser) and a control panel with
easily accessible projector and volume controls so you can control the visual and
audio aspects of your presentation right at the interactive whiteboard
• full guest-laptop (or any external computer) support with connection cables and a
conveniently mounted shelf for your laptop
• SMART Board software with many annotation and presentation tools, including
SMART Notebook software, so you can deliver a dynamic and interactive
presentation
• an integrated audio system that includes two-way speakers with tweeters
• a wireless keyboard
• an easily accessible rear connection panel so you can integrate a guest laptop,
network cables, a printer, a VCR, a DVD player, a second projector and a room audio
system
• locking front doors so you can secure the projector and computer inside the cabinet.
(On shipment, the keys are tie wrapped to the projector mounting bracket.)
• minimal floor space requirements and casters so you can easily move the 4000i
through any standard doorway for true room-to-room mobility
The digital-vision touch (DViT™) technology in the 4000i uses digital cameras to track the
position of objects on the screen. Each of these specialized digital cameras, one in each
corner of the screen, is calibrated to recognize the position of a pen tray tool or your finger on
the screen surface, and to translate that position into coordinates. SMART Board software
interprets these coordinates and integrates this information with your active application so you
can truly interact with your displayed file.
To enable rear-projection capability, a mirror in the cabinet redirects the projected image from
your computer, VCR, DVD player or guest laptop onto the back of the interactive screen,
without the distracting shadows of a front-projection system. You can then perform any normal
computer operation, such as opening or closing an application, scrolling through a file, or
opening your browser, just by touching the screen surface.
This guide includes instructions on setting up (page 8), finalizing (page 32), using (page 41)
and maintaining (page 49) the 4000i. You can also use this guide if you need to disassemble
and then reassemble the cabinet (page 61) or if you want to learn about the internal wiring and
cables of the unit (page 75).
