Whiteboard Capture System
Introduction
The Crestron AirBoard™ whiteboard capture system (CCS-WB-1) turns any dry-erase
board into an electronic whiteboard. The CCS-WB-1 allows you to present and illustrate
on a standard whiteboard and share your content in real time on the video displays of a
remote audience. Whiteboard content is shared through the remote user’s Web browser.
The CCS-WB-1 provides the following features:
•Remote viewing from a Web browser.
•Invite other remote viewers.
•Download a snapshot or timeline of displayed content.
•Create and download a slide deck of all changes made to the whiteboard.
•Email snapshots and timelines.
NOTE: A Crestron control system programmed with the CCS-WB-1 module
containing email contacts is required. Refer to the module’s help file for details.
This supplemental guide discusses the requirements, configuration instructions, and
operating instructions for the CCS-WB-1. For information on installing the CCS-WB-1,
