Alliance International: Digital Class

Recording Technology: Digital Class uses proprietary compression algorithms to record presentations (voice and graphics) using significantly less disk space than other methods.
Bright LCD Screen: The LCD is protected by scratch resistant, high-tempered glass. The glass lets more light through, so Digital Class is brighter
Small Footprint and Size: Digital Class is smaller than other writing tablets, and is attractively styled. Because of this, it is suitable as a touch screen panel for integrated AV control systems.
Smooth Lines and Pressure Sensitivity: You will be pleased by how smooth you can draw lines with the Digital Class, and the pressure sensitivity of brush strokes.

Digital Class software allows presentations to be saved in JPEG, BMP, and DCF file formats. DCF stands for "Digital Class File". These files can then be shared and viewed on any computer. The next software version will allow files to be saved as HTML files.

DCF files can be viewed on any computer that has installed the Digital Class Viewer software. This software is freeware and comes with the Digital Class system or can be downloaded from our website at: http://www.alliance-intl.com/dloads/digitalclassviewer.zip.

Digital Class comes right out of the box with the stand in the above image. On the back of Digital Class are 4 VESA mounting holes, so Digital Class is compatible with standard LCD monitor mounts. We offer two kinds of optional tilting stands that give the product added stability when tilted at an angle. Finally, some users prefer to flush mount Digital Class in a lectern or podium. In that case, we provide an optional flush mount kit.

Digital Class is specially designed to be used for presentations and group collaboration. Often it is installed into a lectern or on the table of a meeting room. Digital Class software is specifically designed and cannot be found on tablet PCs. The software allows annotation over any application which can then be recorded—along with voice—then shared with others. It has a larger and sturdier 15” LCD screen that is easy to write on and brighter than notebook PCs. Digital Class can be integrated into a preexisting computer presentation system. Furthermore, Digital Class is available from experienced presentation specialists and system integrators who provide more training and on site support then most PC vendors.

Yes, using the Windows XP operating system and viewing the video with the Windows Media Player or REAL Player.

Yes, the USB cable can be extended using standard parts from any computer store.

Digital Class' electromagnetic writing pen has two programmable mouse buttons for left double click and right click on the pen. The pen requires the user to consciously press the button (so it is unlikely users would accidentily press the mouse button).

Normally, you can use the battery for 1 year, though we would recommend more frequent changes.

In keeping the system easy to use, we believe most users find it easier to use a standard keyboard. If you insist on having handwriting recognition, it's available as $39 option.

At the moment Digital Class is not Mac compatible, but we're working on a solution. If you require Mac compatibility, please email us at info@alliance-intl.com to discuss your time frame.

All users agree—Digital Class software offers exceptional performance and value. As such, the USB key protects the software from piracy. The USB security key is part of the Digital Class system. It plugs into a USB port on the computer and permits the use of the system. It protects the unit from unauthorized use and theft, as without the key the system cannot be operated. Additional keys and software licenses may be purchased. Please contact info@alliance-intl.com for details.
