SMART Board 685ix interactive whiteboard system

Experience interactivity like never before with the SMART Board™ 685ix interactive whiteboard system. As one of the first integrated systems to combine an ultra-short-throw projector with a widescreen interactive whiteboard, the 685ix offers you stunning image quality, a precise touch experience and a large interactive surface for teaching and learning.

A first-class system - without a shadow of a doubt
The SMART Board 685ix interactive whiteboard system has an ultra-short-throw projector, the SMART UX60, which virtually eliminates shadows, glare and distracting projector light. The projector is positioned directly above the SMART Board interactive whiteboard, projecting crisp, bright images from only 12" (30.5 cm) away. And because the system's interactive whiteboard is widescreen, it has 20% more working space than a standard interactive whiteboard.

The 685ix comes with SMART Notebook collaborative learning software, which connects you to dynamic content, tools and support that will help you create, deliver and manage compelling lessons. And like all SMART Board interactive whiteboards, this system enables you to write in digital ink, control applications and save your work. 
 
Exceptional teaching experience
Make your lessons pop like never before. With a widescreen SMART Board interactive whiteboard and an ultra-short-throw projector, the 685ix brings lesson files, websites, videos and images to life. The system also includes an extended control panel that enables you to easily connect multimedia devices, keeping lessons interactive and engaging.

Hands-on learning
The key to the SMART Board interactive whiteboard is touch. Write, erase, move objects and control applications by touching or writing on the interactive whiteboard. You can also write with a pen, erase with your palm and move objects with your finger without having to press buttons, access on-screen menus or replace tools in the Pen Tray. Our Touch Recognition feature makes it possible.
 
Best-in-class resources
Discover free, ready to use educational resources on the SMART Exchange. This vibrant online community makes it easy for you to quickly find, evaluate, download and share a variety of classroom-relevant content. Connect with colleagues in your district or around the globe to exchange lessons, ideas, insights and classroom success stories. The SMART Exchange has a vast library of standards-correlated SMART Notebook lesson activities, SMART Response question sets, links to useful websites and a variety of multimedia resources - all designed to help you make teaching and learning more extraordinary.
 
Easy to save, easy to share
With SMART Notebook collaborative learning software, which comes with all SMART Board interactive whiteboards, you can capture all of your notes, screenshots, images and videos to a single file that can be opened in both Windows and Macintosh operating systems. Notes and multimedia can be saved as objects that can be manipulated, reorganized and reused. You can also save digital notes directly into several software applications including Microsoft Windows versions of PowerPoint, Word and Excel, Adobe Acrobat and AutoCAD software. SMART Notebook software also enables you to e-mail saved files to students or colleagues at any time during your lesson. You can also upload your favorite SMART Notebook lesson files into the SMART Exchange, so your colleagues can find them quickly and easily using our custom search engine.

System management simplified
The 685ix is easy to manage and maintain, leaving you free to focus on teaching and learning. The SMART UX60 projector is network enabled, so you can control and manage it remotely, and the multiaxis, adjustable wall mount makes precise projector alignment a snap.
