SMART Technologies announces the SMART Board 685ix  interactive whiteboard system -a high-definition, high-performance collaboration tool that eliminates shadows, glare, and projector light in the eyes. The fully integrated system comprises a SMART Board 685 interactive whiteboard and the new wall-mounted, short-throw UX60 widescreen projector with a 16:10 aspect ratio and WXGA resolution.

As more and more developers of multimedia and video content shift to a widescreen aspect ratio, the projector’s widescreen format provide a future-proofed investment for school districts, post-secondary institutions, and businesses. With high-definition image quality and easy access to other peripheral devices from the front of the room, the SMART Board 685ix interactive whiteboard system delivers an interactive whiteboard experience.
