Panasonic Systems Asia Pacific, introduced two new interactive electronic white boards to the Sri Lankan market through its local partner Softlogic.

Deputy Managing Director of Panasonic Systems Asia, Wilfred Wee said that the new models will entice Sri Lanka's budget-conscious education market.

"As these revolutionary boards become more affordable, schools are likely to move away from the traditional whiteboard and embrace new technology solutions like ours," he said. Executive Director Softlogic Holdings PLC, Suraj Fernando said, "We are happy to join synergies with an international top-end brand such as Panasonic, to herald a new dimension to the knowledge and training providers in the country and the business sector who are powered and energised by office automation in their day-to-day office work.

The introduction of these new interactive electronic whiteboards will no doubt enrich our product offering, thereby elevating the learning experience to different level"."Panasonic has a strong line-up of electronic whiteboards.

Along with the interactive whiteboards, it also introduced two new models, UB-5335 and UB-5835 today," he said."Besides its stylish look, the new models are also equipped with useful features such as direct USB memory where users can save the information on the board directly onto the USB flash memory.

It also comes with software that does an overlay function. This means that the software can merge the image from the projector and the handwritten notes," Fernando said.
