You'll have digital whiteboarding and information-sharing capabilities at your fingertips.
With the 685ix, your SMART Board interactive whiteboard, projector and USB input appliance are all connected, so powering up and beginning work is fast and easy - a single button gets you up and running in 60 seconds. Connect laptops and multimedia devices to interact easily with your digital material. Write on the digital whiteboard or over documents, videos, spreadsheets and presentations.

And when your meeting is finished, you can use the reset room function to instantly clear the whiteboard, close all conferences and applications and leave the room ready for the next meeting.
Focus on the meeting, not the technology. The system's ultra-short-throw projector, the SMART UX60, virtually eliminates shadows, glare and distracting projector light. Positioned above the interactive whiteboard, the projector displays bright, crisp images from only 12" (30.5 cm) away. It provides superior image quality with a 16:10 aspect ratio and a native WXGA (1,280 x 800) widescreen resolution, for a true-to-life multimedia experience with no letterboxing or distortion.
The 685ix features a touch-sensitive, 87" (221 cm) widescreen interactive whiteboard - delivering 20% more workspace than a standard-sized interactive whiteboard system. Because the system's projector is positioned above the interactive whiteboard, there is plenty of room for colleagues to collaborate.
The SMART Board 685ix interactive whiteboard appliance-based system includes attached speakers and a fixed-unit wall mount that simplifies installation. Its streamlined design fits seamlessly into virtually any meeting environment.
Write or perform mouse functions by touching the board with a pen or your finger, and erase using the eraser tool – no proprietary tools are required.

Compared to longer-throw projectors that are mounted on ceilings or walls, the 685ix system's ultra-short-throw projector creates virtually no shadows or glare. This makes it easier to see images on the interactive whiteboard and increases productivity by reducing unwanted distractions.
Experience superior image quality with the 685ix. The SMART UX60 projector uses Texas Instruments' BrilliantColor technology to produce high levels of brightness and contrast. Video, data and application files will look crisp and bright from every position in the room.
Make precise projector alignment a snap - the 685ix includes a multiaxis, adjustable wall mount. The projector is mounted directly above the SMART Board interactive whiteboard, so virtually any space can accommodate the 685ix without needing complicated wiring or ceiling mounting. The system's integrated elements also ensure it is easy to maintain.
The filter-free design of SMART's UX60 projector eliminates the need for filter cleaning or replacement.
Rely on the SMART UX60 projector's color quality. The projector's DLP engine with BrilliantColor technology makes the 685ix practically immune to color decay, producing a vibrant image even after years of use.
Connect the SMART UX60 projector to your IP network to send and receive commands to and from the web server or SNMP client. As a networked interactive whiteboard system, the 685ix has asset management features that enable you to control and manage the projector remotely.
Be confident in the reliability of your projector lamp - the SMART UX60 lasts for 3,000 hours in standard mode and 4,000 hours in economy mode.
The 685ix's resilient, hard-coated, polyester front sheet is secured over a robust aluminum composite backboard. The surface is tear-proof, optimized for projection, compatible with dry-erase markers and easily cleaned. With an incredibly low return merchandise authorization (RMA) rate of less than 0.01%, SMART Board interactive whiteboards may be the toughest interactive whiteboards on the market. All SMART Board interactive whiteboards are rigorously tested, designed and produced in an ISO 9001 certified facility.
Feel secure with your technology investment - the protection features of the 685ix make it a less attractive target for thieves. The projector head, boom and base are all attached, and because the SMART UX60 projector has no buttons, it is rendered inoperable if removed from the extended control panel. The Kensington cable lock slot and padlock loop are additional visual and physical theft deterrents.
