Projector provider Epson today announced the All-in-One Collaborative Whiteboard designed exclusively for its BrightLink Pro-Series meeting room solutions designed to transform any flat surface into digital signage whiteboards and interactive spaces.

Designed to match the white color and sleek design of the BrightLink Pro, the new All-in-One Collaborative Whiteboard solution offers all-in-one functionality by integrating a Da-Lite IDEA screen with 2.5 gain for image quality and wall mount, as well as the finger touch unit and control panel on the BrightLink Pro 1430Wi. Available in 87- and 100-inches, the new kit is designed to be easy to install – it hangs like a picture frame and image size can be adjusted with preset heights – and the Da-Lite IDEA screen can also be used as a dry-erase board.

"We partnered with Da-Lite and Chief to design this new All-in-One Whiteboard solution to offer a premium look and easy installation to complement our BrightLink Pro-Series," said Sean Gunduz, senior product manager, projectors, Epson America Inc., in the announcement. "Our customers can now easily implement a full meeting room upgrade with a 100-inch board and BrightLink Pro for under $5,000."

The Epson BrightLink Pro 1430Wi and 1420Wi are designed to be collaboration devices, integrating the utility of a whiteboard, projector and interactive display to transform any flat surface into a digital whiteboard and interactive space that doesn't require a computer or software. Users can simply turn on the projector and start writing, with no PC required, Epson said. Using the Whiteboard Sharing Tool, up to 15 participants can join a whiteboarding session directly from any mobile device with a Web browser or from another BrightLink Pro, without using special software or apps.

Users can add up to 50 blank pages for virtually unlimited writing space, as well as save, print and email notes, the company said. For users editing and annotating on top of existing image or document files, these models also deliver object tools such as copy, paste, crop and rotate for ease-of-use. The BrightLink Pro 1430Wi supports gestures, up to six fingers for annotations, as well as dual-pen support. It's also intended for use as a videoconferencing display, offering split-screen capabilities to view two sources side-by-side.

The new All-in-One Whiteboard is currently available through all Epson and Da-Lite VARs and resellers. The msrp for the 87-inch solution is $1,599 and for the 100-inch solution is $2,279.
