SmartClass Presentation System from Robotel
The SmartClass Presentation System, based on extremely reliable computer video technology, links every computer in the room to the master station. The System can broadcast to more than two hundred stations, video signals without any perceptible loss of sharpness or brightness.
By simply pressing a button, the trainer can broadcast his/her screen image to all participants' monitors - or blank all screens temporarily. Broadcasting enables the trainer to enhance visual communications with participants, while blanking captures their undivided attention during off-screen presentations or discussions.
The SmartClass Presentation System really puts the trainer in control.

- Compatible with all types of computers
- External hardware-based: no software, no PC Cards to install

SmartClass Interactive Distance Learning (IDL)
SmartClass IDL gives distance learning a new, truly interactive dimension by integrating the benefits of desktop video-conferencing and the SmartClass Presentation System in a cost-effective manner, virtually eliminating travel-related expense.
Combining the SmartClass Multimedia classroom System with standard teleconferencing technology, Robotel's IDL solution provides instructors with key tools that extend system performance outside of the classroom to remote teaching sites and/or to off-site subject matter experts.
These tools are multi-site audio/visual conferencing and software application sharing. With these tools, an instructor can see and speak with participants in a remote classroom. The instructor can also present information to the class via a shared computer display screen - which can be manipulated from any local or remote keyboard - at the instructor's discretion.
- Return On Investment (ROI): With SmartClass IDL your classrooms are multifunctional. They can be used for individual study, local classes and multi-site distance learning.
- Value: SmartClass IDL delivers the power and performance of a Room teleconferencing system, but for the cost of a single shared Desktop teleconferencing station.
- Scalability: An educational institution can start with a single remote site, having as few as 3 stations. This can expand to multiple sites with hundreds of stations in a simple incremental fashion, as needs grow.
- Open System Architecture: SmartClass Systems operate with broadband, narrowband and Internet teleconferencing networks, using switched or packet communications between sites. SmartClass IDL works with most leading teleconferencing equipment brands, including VTEL, PictureTel, Intel, VCON, Zydacron, and others. Standard Internet connections support remote interactivity and control.
- Real-Time Interactivity: Participants can electronically raise their hand and let the instructor know if they have a question. Trainers can administer tests and surveys from remote locations. They can also be invited to take control of a shared whiteboard or shared software application. Participants are equipped with individual cameras to facilitate effective one-on-one tutoring.
- Instructor-based Control: Instructors decide when, and in what order participant questions will be addressed. From an easy-to-comprehend high-resolution touch-screen panel, instructors monitor the status of their multi-site virtual class, and can select who will participate in all activities.
- Flexibility: The SmartClass IDL System provides instructors with the ability to have remote subject matter experts participate in classroom training, concurrently run classes at local and remote sites, remotely run classes from an office, or jointly run classes with one or more colleagues. All sites have a common view of the virtual class and the shared applications.
- Simplicity: With the Robotel SmartClass IDL System, there is no need to install any hardware or software in participant workstations. There are no networking connections and no teleconferencing connections required at participant PC's.
- Reliability: SmartClass Systems are based on reliable distributed-switching technology. User terminals are rugged and feature sealed tactile keypads. All Robotel products come with a full 3 year warranty.
- Complete Support: Robotel provides front-line installation, technical support, and training services.
