Roxburgh College is a school for years 7-12 located in northern suburbs of Melbourne. The school has a modern campus with state-of-the-art facilities to accommodate its large student enrollment. The team at DIB Australia were brought in to install an interactive display in one of Roxburgh College’s conference rooms.
A DIB audio visual specialist worked closely with the school to assess their needs and find the right solution for the space. Hitachi’s 65″ interactive flat panel was chosen. It makes an elegant and highly-functional to any classroom or meeting room.
The Hitachi 65″ flat panel
These flat panels came with the Hitachi StarBoard software, which turns the display into an easy-to-use interactive whiteboard. This interactive whiteboard function is vital for both classroom use and running meetings. It facilitates collaboration, allows annotations to existing content and helps reach greater audience engagement. From the StarBoard software users can print, save and share annotations.
The flat panels also run Windows 7 and above, allowing users to have a familiar operating system that will be easy and intuitive to control. This way, users get to take advantage of the full functionality of Windows as needed, running all their usual programs instead of ported apps. For this installation, the DIB team also integrated the system with VGA and HDMI inputs so that laptops can be displayed through the flat panel.

The great thing about interactive displays is how simple they are to use. The Hitachi flat panel feels intuitive and natural to operate. You can simply touch the function you want to perform and use all the same gestures as you would on a tablet or smartphone like pinch to zoom. This is enabled by the six-point of touch on the 65″ model, even allowing multiple people to collaborate simultaneously on the flat panel.
The 65″ Hitachi flat panel is a flexible solution that will suit a wide range of uses in the meeting room or classroom. For Roxburgh College, the Hitachi touchscreen installation will provide the means to hold versatile high quality meetings that can easily incorporate digital resources.
