Moreover, the size and weight advantage comes at no cost to image quality, with the EF400mm f/4 DO IS USM delivering performance equivalent to conventional models in its class.

The PRESENTA board uses the latest advances in digital electromagnetic sensing technology. A small magnetic field is created over the surface of the board, which is activated by holding the specially designed pen in proximity of the board's surface. The pen reflects a signal back to the board, which is then sent to the computer as an X/Y co-ordinate.

This enables the computer to understand where on the surface of the board the user is pointing, thus tracking pen movement just like a mouse. Use of this digital technology enables fast, stable and accurate tracking.

To facilitate this technology, a special pen has been designed, which is ergonomic, lightweight and cordless. Based on the Rotring Artpen, the pen has been designed to offer comfort and balance to the user, giving an intuitive, natural feel to every presentation. The Pen is battery-free so there is no need to worry about charging or replacing batteries. It supports both left and right mouse clicks and, used in conjunction with Px software, enables users to have full control over their presentation including multiple pen color selection, from a single device. Two pens are supplied with each board and additional ones may be purchased thereafter.

To enable the PRESENTA board to be used over a long period in harsh environments, it is manufactured with a tough Formica surface. The absence of a soft membrane type surface means that it is not touch sensitive and so cannot be used with the finger (or any other object). The boards surface is matt based and is ideal for use with digital projectors. This surface prevents projector "hot spots" and screen glare from reflecting back towards the audience.

The PRESENTA board can be mounted on the wall or, for added mobility, onto the easy-to-assemble stand. Once positioned, getting started with the PRESENTA board is simple.
