Industry’s Only Classroom IFPs With Certified Low Blue Light and Flicker-Free Technology Create Active and Healthier Learning Experiences
COSTA MESA, Calif. — Aug. 22, 2018 — BenQ, an internationally renowned provider of visual display solutions, today introduced two new 4K ultra-high-definition interactive flat panels (IFPs) specifically designed for the classroom. The new RM Series includes the 65” RM6501K and 75” RM7501K IFPs, which allow teachers to tap into the dynamic possibilities of the interactive classroom. Putting students’ health first, the RM Series IFPs feature TÜV-certified low-blue-light and flicker-free technologies, protecting students’ eyes from the damaging onslaught of blue light emissions and flicker that may cause adverse health effects.
“BenQ is committed to paving the way for schools to create exceptional learning experiences,” said Bob Wudeck, senior director, business, education, and CinePro solutions at BenQ America Corp. “That meant taking our proven interactive flat panel technology to the next level and engineering the industry’s first IFP lineup designed to not only solve the growing challenges of keeping students easily engaged, but healthy as well. Teachers will love how quickly students can master new curriculum that spurs excitement and success, while parents will appreciate how our IFP technology prioritizes their children’s well-being. Available at an attractive price point, these IFPs will be a remarkable addition for schools looking to drive active learning.”
Healthier Technology Experiences
There is growing concern that long-term exposure to blue light from displays can be harmful and negatively affect eye health. Like modern smartphones that automatically turn off blue light, BenQ’s IFPs can help reduce potential damage using the company’s certified low-blue-light, flicker-free and anti-glare technologies so educators can create the healthiest possible teaching environment. BenQ’s Low Blue Light technology senses when someone is close to the panel and adjusts the light, minimizing blue light exposure and providing a healthier alternative to other LED displays. Certified under TÜV Rheinland, the highest standards body for technical services and technology safety, BenQ IFPs give school administrators confidence that their educators and students are exposed to as little blue light as possible in the classroom. The IFPs flicker-free technology is meticulously designed to remove LED backlight flickering while providing a zero-flicker viewing experience, effectively reducing eye fatigue and alleviating discomfort caused by looking at the screen — even from the back of the classroom. In addition, the IFP’s anti-glare surface reduces reflections caused by bright lights and windows, freeing students from excessive squinting, avoiding eye strain and making it easier to see from any seat in the class.
Smooth, Touch-Friendly Interactivity
Designed to foster learning and collaboration, BenQ’s Education IFPs feature advanced touch enhancement. This automatically converts handwriting to legible text, numbers, forms and drawings. The panels allow 10 simultaneous points of touch. This enables students and teachers to work at the board using two pens simultaneously or using its brush mode that allows creative collaboration with paint brushes or other instruments. A floating toolbar grants quick access to the most-used tools including screen capture, eraser, pen and whiteboard, increasing efficiency in the classroom. And when lessons are over, screen annotations can be saved as PDF or PNG files onto a USB drive or internal memory, printed and shared via QR code, helping students commit the material to memory.
Seamless, Frustration-Free Instruction and Collaboration
Teachers will feel well-supported to drive curriculum in the classroom with BenQ IFPs. Instant Plug and Play eliminates the hassles of complicated setup by simply connecting to a PC via USB. Teachers can also wirelessly broadcast images, audio and even HD-quality video from mobile devices with switching between up to 16 participant devices with the InstaQShare app. A blank setting allows teachers to darken the screen, so students can remain focused during instructions, while a freeze feature enables well-timed capture of screen grabs from videos or to highlight the screen itself. BenQ also incorporates several recommended Android apps, taking the guesswork out of finding content and simplifying updates and downloading. Finally, BenQ IFPs come with website control features that block certain websites, preventing students from accessing inappropriate content.
Hassle-free Display Management for New and Legacy Solutions
Designed to maintain the highest level of service and operability year after year, the RM Series features Multiple Display Administrator capabilities that allows operators to remotely control display on/off time or backlight via LAN or RS-232. This software also enables IT managers to control not only IFPs, but also projectors from BenQ and other manufacturers from the same platform. It also grants administrators the ability to install Android apps to any IFP deployed across a school or district via the cloud, streamlining curriculum standardization. In addition, operators can keep all display drivers up to date with Over-the-Air updates, eliminating any downtime or lesson interruptions.
