Digital Flipchart Pad overview
The Nobo Kapture™ system uses uniquely printed paper, which the camera uses to
recognise its location on the page. There are 180 individual sheets across the pad
range, separated into pad B, C and D. It is possible to use all pads at the same time
(B, C & D), but it is not possible to use more than one of a particular pad letter. i.e. it is
not possible to use two pad D’s in one session. All pad D’s are printed with the same
pages, therefore the system will overwrite or miss information if two are in the same
session.
As each sheet of paper within pad B, C & D is individual the system recognises which
sheet of which pad it is writing on.
The Nobo Kapture™ software automatically opens a digital ipchart page on the
computer when you start to write or draw on the physical ipchart page of a pad.
1Each physical ipchart page has its pad letter and page number shown in the
bottom right hand corner, so if you tear pages from the pad you can still keep
track of which page is in use.
The page also has hidden pad type and page identiers that the pen recognises to
allow the Nobo Kapture™ software to keep track of which page is in use.
Notes:
Standard non-digital ipchart pads will not work with this system, only use Nobo
Kapture™ Digital Flipchart Pads.
Do not try to use two Digital Flipchart Pads of the same Letter (e.g. B & B) at the same time,
accurate capturing will not be possible.
Setup the Digital Flipchart Pad(s)
2Place the required ipchart pads on your Nobo Easel.

Software overview
The Nobo Kapture™ software starts with the home page, from which Capture, Edit
and Help modes are accessed:
Capture mode
Captured pages can be displayed in an overview mode, showing
active pages of a pad, for clarity.
Edit mode
Captured pages can be edited, re-ordered or have sections cut-out
from the pages themselves and pasted into new additional pages
in the software. Pads or pages can then be saved as commonly
used le formats such as JPEG or PDF, ready for emailing.
Help mode
Access the following help services:
built-in help.•
software trouble-shooting guide.•
Nobo website (including software updates and FAQ forum).•
Software custom pages
Within the edit mode of the software, there is the ability to add additional pages.
Once you have captured the contents on all of the required physical pages,
additional custom pages can be added, such as the highlights of each page or
specic notes from the session.
The maximum number of physical pages is 180, but signicantly more can be added
electronically. Saved les can therefore contain more pages than the physical.
Returning to a previously created session
The link between the software and the recorded information is the Nobo Kapture™
digital ipchart paper. By retaining a physical page from a session it is possible to re-
open the session in capture mode and add to the page.
Notes:
It is not possible to erase marks on physical pages made in the previous session.•
To edit the content of a page open it in editor mode and cut and paste or re-•
arrange it.
Pages that have been edited within edit mode cannot be re-opened in capture•
mode.
File saving
By default, saved les will be in‘My Documents’on Windows® XP SP2 / Vista™ and
‘Documents’on MAC OS X 10.5. The lename will be‘Nobo Kapture’followed by an
incrementing number.
To save a le and assign it a custom lename and location, go to the le tab and
select ‘Save As’. Browse to the required location and type in the required lename.
