Freeze Screen Shot/ Don't Project It

[missyduckwitz]

A teacher recently asked me if there is a way to display a flipchart page on the Activboard while simultaneously looking at something else on his computer (like his email). Anyone know how to do this?

There is a "freeze" button on the remote. I use it ALLL the time.

Another option:

If you have a laptop with a VGA output you can configure your display properties for dual monitor and extend your desktop over both. The VGA can then feed the projector, whilst your laptop screen remains private to you.

In order to do this on a desktop PC you would have to install a dual head graphics card. There are plenty on the market to choose from.

Inspire apparently does not support dual monitors yet!! :(

Soon I hope!

Just to clarify. Yes, Inspire currently does not offer the multiple monitor settings that are in Activstudio.

However, it is still possible to use ActivInspire on either monitor in a dual monitor setup.

If your Activboard is configured to use the Primary monitor, Inspire will open up on the Activboard. If the Activboard is configured to use the Secondary monitor, you need to drag Inspire onto the second monitor after loading it.
