Educators can teach their way with the BenQ Board Pro RP04, the first interactive display fully integrated with Google Mobile Services (GMS). GMS integration not only offers schools easier access to Google Play and Google Classroom, a more native experience when using Google Search and other Android applications, but also provides built-in security features that protect schools from cybersecurity risks. A fully redesigned user interface features a home screen that allows users to either type or speak to start browsing lesson content from the Google Search bar. The GMS-integrated RP04 delivers unprecedented teaching and IT management flexibility. Educators can personalize learning using relevant apps while IT managers tailor the board to their school’s needs. The displays also make learning more accessible to students, featuring text-to-speech, so students can hear text as it is displayed or written on screen, and multilingual translation, which provides resources in different languages. With BenQ’s centralized user and device management, schools can easily transition to using BenQ Boards without additional configurations. As with the previous generations of the BenQ Board, the RP04 features BenQ’s EZWrite whiteboarding software, its InstaShare wireless screen-sharing solution, the industry’s first antimicrobial touchscreen, and Eyesafe, which protects users’ eyesight from harmful blue light, flicker, and more.
