Dubai, United Arab Emirates-Tuesday 24 December 2019 [ AETOS Wire ]
The
World’s No. 1 DLP projector brand, BenQ, unveiled their latest smart
projectors for classrooms, EX800ST and EW800ST- the first ever android
based education projectors to feature cloud account integration, smart
app capability, internet and wireless connectivity. They have been
designed to promote diversified teaching and blended learning in K-12
classrooms. Providing long-lasting uninterrupted instruction with Dust
Guard technology, the short-throw projectors offer futureproof PC-less
academic solutions for student interaction, collaboration, and
next-generation teaching styles.
“Education
is now moving towards becoming more student-centric where the focus is
not on the teacher and students are encouraged to collaborate and arrive
at solutions on their own. EX800ST is an excellent tool for educators
as it enables them to foster a progressive school climate. It empowers
them with flexible and innovative teaching methods that significantly
enhance student interaction and collaboration.” said Manish Bakshi, MD, BenQ ME.
Advancing
technology in not just education but across all spheres is challenging
the traditional ways education systems function – finding or accessing
information about a subject matter is not a challenge anymore, so
teaching has to be a lot more than just imparting that. Technology has
dramatically increased the access to education world over, and schools
are striving towards making the much necessary changes in the learning
process by meaningful technological integration into their curriculum to
increase the learning opportunities for teachers and children.
EX800ST
brings with it a whole new way of classroom teaching as by offering
personal account control and cloud services integration via BenQ Account
Management System (AMS), which allows teachers individualized access to
lesson plans and educational materials in cloud storage. Exclusive to
BenQ, the AMS software lets teachers manage their materials for both
online and face-to-face classes in one place. This considerably
simplifies their workflow and saves precious time that they can invest
more productively.
The
E800ST also comes with a centralized messaging and display scheduling
system, X-Sign Broadcast. The BenQ exclusive X-Sign Broadcast is the
wireless system that gets essential announcements and messages across
the school, floor, or even individual classrooms without disrupting
class. The school administration and staff can pre-schedule messages as
well as send immediate announcements if required.
BenQ’s
latest ed-tech projector, EX800ST’s user interface is optimized for
education and interaction and provides intuitive content navigation in
addition to the traditional projector remote control. Featuring
intuitive human interface device (HID) support, EX800ST lets students
and teachers navigate educational content with a mouse or keyboard, even
allowing projector control and operation from a smartphone via BenQ
Smart Control app.
With
the, EX800ST users can download a variety of smart apps, including web
browsers for self-contained Internet connectivity through its onboard
BenQ Suggest app store,
BenQ’s
smart interactive classroom projectors support wireless projection from
multiple sources. This enables students to share their ideas without
requiring them to plug in or unplug their devices. Focus increases
significantly when there’s an uninterrupted flow of teachings and
curiosities in the classroom. Wireless projection empowers students to
share their ideas quickly and conveniently, making collaboration quite
seamless. Making hassle-free wireless projection from mobile, PC, and
laptop devices possible even when there is no Wi-Fi infrastructure, the
EX800ST’s smart features help educators in transforming classrooms and
building immersive learning spaces without boundaries.
With
new Infographic and Video modes, EX800ST’s engaging and expansive
visual quality helps accentuate the learning opportunities presented by
modern educational materials that use a mixture of graphics, data,
charts, motion video, and text. BenQ’s smart interactive classroom
projectors allow teachers to perform instant internet searches and
interactions via Firefox and TeamViewer. This comes in super handy for
teachers as they do not have to rely on other devices during class to
get the information they need, and they can easily collaborate with
their students without any disruption of flow.
These
projectors are equipped with BenQ’s exclusive DMS Local and MDA systems
that let schools centralize projector control via a local network. This
enables the school IT administrators to manage all the projectors of a
school from one central location. This completely eliminates the need
for IT personnel to go from one classroom to another in order to manage
projectors and their problems individually. Saving time and delivering
faster solutions to classrooms minimizes the disruption of a class.
Moreover, these systems considerably reduce labour and other expenses
usually associated with projectors.
Available
in XGA (EX800ST) and WXGA (EW800ST) resolutions, both the new smart
interactive classroom projectors are equipped with BenQ Dust Guard
technology for durability. The projectors come with a Lamp Save Mode
that powers up to 15,000 hours of long-lasting clarity before the lamp
requires any maintenance. With centralized LAN-based projector control
and maintenance as well as over-the-air firmware updates, EX800ST can
further minimize ownership costs for institutions. In Dubai, the XGA
model, EX800ST is priced at AED 3499 whereas the WXGA model, EW800ST is
priced at AED 3599, both prices exclusive of VAT.
