What's Panaboard?

It means 'good-bye to taking notes.

Panaboard is a revolutionary whiteboard that improves the efficiency of all types of meetings, both daily discussions and major presentations, and also allows information to be effectively shared between presenters and participants, and even with people who cannot attend.

Applications and Benefits

Panaboard provides two main functions: to record information written on the board during a meeting, and to expand the scope of meetings and presentations with PC linking. The benefits offered by these functions will bring dramatic changes to your company's communications.

Electronic Whiteboard (without PC) (Color Panaboard / Standard Panaboard)

After a meeting, Panaboard scans and prints out the information written on the board.

This eliminates the need for taking notes during the meeting so everyone can concentrate on the discussion. Printouts of the board's information accurately convey the content to people who could not attend. This also prevents problems from mistakes in taking notes.


Interactive Whiteboard (with PC) (Interactive Whiteboard)

You can project PC screen images onto Panaboard for more effective use of PCs in presentations and meetings.

The PC can be operated right from the board surface, so presenters can change pages at their own pace. They can also write information on the board and access the Internet to display real-time information on Panaboard for truly persuasive presentations.

*The UB-8325 has a built-in printer for instant printouts.

How does It Work?

Electronic Whiteboard (without PC) (Color Panaboard / Standard Panaboard)

Just like in an ordinary meeting, you write information on a board and, if desired, attach reference materials*1 to it. But that's where the similarity ends. With Panaboard, you simply press a button at the end of the meeting, and the information on the board is scanned by a large-scale scanner, and saved on an SD Memory Card*2 or USB flash memory device*2 directly, or printed out on the spot from the built-in printer.*3 Stored data on the memory card or flash memory device can be sent from a PC, so people who weren't able to attend can still share the information, quickly and accurately.

*1 Reference materials can be attached only to the UB-2815C/2315C.
*2 These functions are available only for the UB-2815C/2315C.
*3 The UB-2815C/2315C do not include a printer.

What's a Color Panaboard?

Color Panaboard can scan written information and attached documents in either color or black and white, and store the scanned data.
The scanned data can be easily transferred to a PC by using an SD Memory Card*1, a USB flash memory device*1 or a USB cable, and distributed via email for easy sharing. The scanned data is also easy to carry about. When the optional printer is connected, scanned data can be printed out*1 immediately. Because drawings, other large documents, and numerous color prints can be attached to the board using magnets, Color Panaboard is especially convenient for examining and deciding new product designs in meetings with a large number of people.

What's a Standard Panaboard?
