President's Corner
SMART Board Adds Video
Nancy Knowlton,
president and chief
operating officer |
SMART Technologies Inc. has introduced the SMART Video Player, an addition to its Windows-based software that helps legal professionals conduct effective presentations. The new feature enhances the company's "interactive whiteboards," which let lawyers mark-up displayed images in courtrooms and other settings.

The SMART Video Player can be used to annotate both moving and still video images, from sources such as DVDs, VCRs, document cameras and computer files, says the company, based in Calgary. With the new tool, video can be played either in a "window" or full-screen. Users can write over the top of the video, pause or freeze frames, and can save or clear annotations. Saving the annotations automatically sends a "screen capture" to the software. Users can control computer applications by pressing on the board's surface, or can use fingers or SMART pens. In addition to the traditional whiteboard, the company also offers rear projection and plasma display models.
