Using The Active Whiteboard

using the color selections
• Push the botton corresponding to the color of the marker you are using, so that the program will know which color of marker you are using.

  taking a snapshot

• Select the picture of the camera (on the whiteboard, or within the program) to take a snapshot of what is on the board at that moment.
• You can take numerous snapshots and later scroll back through them (within the IBID program) and save or print selected snapshots.

  saving or printing a snapshot

• From the menu choices, select FILE then SAVE AS.. or PRINT (as appropriate). It may take a moment for the FILE menu to appear, be patient.
• Your snapshots are saved in the format .wbd. Whiteboard snapshots can be exported to other file formats.

  exporting snapshots to other file formats

• Whiteboard snapshots can be exported to other file types. To do this, go to the FILE menu, and select EXPORT IMAGES. You have the choice between bitmap (.bmp) and windows metafiles (.wmf).
• The bitmap filetype is themost boradly used of the two file types. We recommend that if you are unsure of which file type to export to, use bitmap.

  using other functions

• Most of the other functions on the whiteboard are very self explanatory, such as using the eraser.

  viewing your whiteboard snapshots later

• You need to access the program that will view your whiteboard snapshots. You can find this application in S:\std\bin\ibid.exe.
• If you want to export your whiteboard images from this application, goto the EDIT menu, OPTIONS, then select the EXPORTING IMAGES tab.
• You can only use this application from a lap supported NT workstation.
• If you exported your snapshot to a bitmap, several programs (e.g. Mozilla/Netscape/Internet Explorer) can be used to view them.
