Smart-Lightboard™

Expert insight, greater studio flexibility and new ways to collaborate.

INSIDE THE VIDEO WORKFLOW OF TECH EDUCATORS JIMMY AND JESSICA ENGSTRÖM

For Jimmy and Jessica Engström video is their job, both of them are Microsoft MVPs and tech educators. Between live streaming, running a YouTube channel on developer, UX, and accessibility content and building full online courses they spend most of their working life on camera. Before the Smart-Lightboard that came with a constant trade-off: shrink down to a talking head in the corner of the screen, or turn away from the camera to scribble on a whiteboard and lose the audience’s attention.

The Smart-Lightboard™ removed this trade-off. Jimmy and Jessica now write, sketch, and pull up visuals right inside the frame whilst keeping eye contact with their audience. It fits naturally into how they already work and it has cut the time between having an idea and having a finished video. For two creators whose entire output is teaching on screen, that means clearer videos, stronger engagement, and a lot less friction between an idea and a finished, published piece.

When I saw the lightboard for the first time, and this was the analog one, it really blew my mind. Then I saw the smart lightboard, and it changed everything. You get the power of a whiteboard, but more immersive. You can be up front and center with the content and you can circle things, you can point to things, and the audience will immediately know what you are you're referring to. You are inside of the content. We can use our own applications. We can use Miro. We can use Paint. Now, I'm a software developer, so I immediately saw that I can develop for this. You can sit down with the whole team and I can show them a sketch and we can instantly draw and sketch out what we need to do going forward. What we noticed is that the time from idea to we're starting to record and showing something is so much shorter now. So easy to create really good content without an enormous effort. We're not only business partners, we're also co creators and conference speakers. Podcasters. Yeah. And, of course, we are married. We are married. And now most people, they have a kitchen table. We don't. We have a smart life board. We do.

INTRODUCING THE SMART-LIGHTBOARD™ LIGHT-SEAL PRO™

A Smart-Lightboard™ needs a dark room to look its best. But not everyone has a studio, and blacking out a classroom, office or spare room isn’t always practical.

The Blackout Canopy solves that. It’s a freestanding black frame with blackout fabric panels that sits over the complete Smart-Lightboard™ S46, cutting out the ambient light in the room. If you know the hood we build for the traditional lightboard, it’s the same idea, scaled up: your camera works inside the enclosure, so it sees only the content on your board and you. No unwanted reflections from windows or ceiling lights.

Set it up in minutes in any room, and you get the controlled, high-contrast image a dedicated studio would give you without building one. Explore how it could work for your setup. Book a Demo today.

UNLOCK THE FULL POTENTIAL OF SMART-LIGHTBOARD™ WITH MIRO TRAINING

Smart-Lightboard technology opens up virtually limitless possibilities for collaboration and engagement. From interactive graphics and 3D models to websites and online platforms, users can seamlessly work with a wide range of digital content. Unlike many proprietary solutions, Smart-Lightboard gives you the freedom to use the applications that best suit your workflow.

Among today’s most popular collaboration tools are interactive online whiteboards such as Microsoft Whiteboard, ClickUp Whiteboards, Canva Whiteboards, and Miro. With more than 60 million users and over 200,000 organizations worldwide, Miro has become a leading platform for visual collaboration, brainstorming, and project planning.

While we are proud of the technology behind Smart-Lightboard™, we know that the real value comes from how effectively it is used. That is why we have launched dedicated online Miro training sessions for our clients. These practical workshops introduce the platform’s core features, share best practices, and demonstrate how to create engaging, interactive experiences when paired with Smart-Lightboard™ technology.

When I'm delivering a online presentation with the smart lightboards, often people say that, oh, you do like Ironman. In fact, I'm better than Ironman. Over the last couple of years, remote working became a kind of daily routine. And because of that, we had to find solutions, how to collaborate from different locations, maybe from different continents. But today we're going to focusing on one specific and this is Miro. Basically you draw up digital assets here and there. You can resize graphics. You've got a kind of default palette but actually you can give exact color codes. There is a real time drawing assistance in it. So because I can't do a perfect circle, I'm just calling Miro and it does for me. The biggest thing about these applications is the collaboration because now you've got a smart light board, you can see the presenter on the screen, and you can see appearing all these things just front of the or next to the presenter visually as well. Robert Downey junior never see the graphics just front of him because they're doing this in post production. But here, you can see everything on my board. And this is why it's so unique when using Miro with a smart light board. And remember, you can be and you can do better than Ironman. Just get a smart light board.
