If possible, we would recommend using a desk of around 100-120cm width as this will also provide adequate space for your computer and work area. Generally, users will position their computer underneath the lightboard, directly in front of them. See Diagram. There is sufficient space to operate the keyboard and view the computer screen, while at the same time being able to look directly at the camera to engage your audience. If you are using your smartphone to film, then we recommend an extendable phone stand clamped to your desk or on a tripod. The image below shows the LGE30 set up for filming with smartphone and computer.[\/vc_column_text][image_with_animation image_url=”415″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]The LGE45\/iC-LGE45 is best suited to a small home\/work studio with a desk\/table of at least 150cm in width.

However, you might want to use a different colour from black for various reasons, for example you would prefer to use your firm\/organisation\u2019s branded colour.<\/p>\n
Generally, you can use virtually any colours for your background, but you always have to think about the contrast of the markers. (For instance, if your branded colour is purple, your purple markers will not be seen clearly).<\/p>\n
In the case you might like to use green screen, you won\u2019t be able to use green markers on the lightboard.<\/p>\n

Some phone cameras may have issues with autofocus and can struggle to stay focused on the presenter. This can cause a glare effect with the light as it \u201csees\u201d the black background and increases exposure.<\/p>\n Some smartphones also have a \u201cflipping\u201d feature to correct the orientation of the image for recorded video. If you don\u2019t have this feature, and particularly if you\u2019re looking to live stream your content, you should consider using OBS Studio on your computer and Iriun app on your smartphone. It\u2019s fairly easy to set up and Iriun turns your phone camera into a webcam and connects to OBS over your wifi network. OBS integrates with Zoom, MS Teams or any other popular streaming application.<\/p>\n Learning Glass Europe offers its iC models with an integrated 4K camera.

We usually recommend using no more than three colours as too many colours can distract and confuse. As a guide, Blue, Pink and Yellow or Green usually work well together.<\/p>\n Popping effect<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 We recommend using neon marker pens to give the best \u2018popping\u2019 effect. Different brands of neon pens can appear brighter or duller on Thickness<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 The thinner pens (2-3mm) are great for details, and especially practical for smaller lightboards where there is less glass surface to write on. Thicker pens (4-5mm) obviously stand out more and work better on the larger lightboards. The ink flow from thicker pens is also generally more consistent.<\/p>\n Cleaning<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 All marker pens contain a resin that helps the ink \u2018stick\u2019 to the glass. Those with more resin and thicker pens usually require more effort to clean. We provide a combination of special cloths, sponges and cleaning spray that we\u2019ve tested with many different types of pens.<\/p>\n Note: the glass surface of our lightboard is coated with our unique compound and then polished to make cleaning easier.<\/p>\n How long do they last?<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 The simple answer is it depends on how often they are being used. Also, some colours are used more than others and will run out much faster.

Any professional editing application will include a \u2018flip\u2019 feature to orientate the image correctly for the viewer. If you\u2019re using our Table-Top or Mobile lightboard in a home studio environment, then you may be able to flip the image using your native video recording software on your Android or iOS Smartphone.<\/p>\n

The liquid neon ink contains a special resin that allows the ink to stick to the glass and this can be tough to completely remove. We suggest using micro-fibre cloths and \u2018magic\u2019 sponges to wipe and clean the glass during your filming session and then apply a specialist cleaning liquid to remove any remaining resin.<\/p>\n
