It offers a Whiteboard Sharing Tool, allowing up to 15 participants2 to join a whiteboarding session directly from any mobile device with a web browser or from another BrightLink Pro – without using software or an app.
In addition, the BrightLink Pro 1430Wi offers finger touch capabilities with up to six fingers annotating simultaneously. Users can share notes easily by saving, emailing or printing directly from the projector.

"We are excited our efforts have been recognized by CRN. This award underscores how BrightLink can be used to dramatically improve meetings by increasing productivity and enhancing collaborative business practices."
