Basic Functions
Real-time image transmission
With just one touch of a button the screen content of any workplace is transmitted to an individual monitor, a group, or to all participants
Real-time Image Transfer
With alphadidact® Digital the screen content is transmitted from or to any workplace in a classroom, in real time and in highest digital resolution (Full HD 1920x1080 and 1920x1200).
The following selections can be made via the system keyboard or tablet PC:
teacher transmits his/ her image to an individual student (T -> S1)
teacher transmits his/ her image to a group of students (T -> S1, S2 and S3)
teacher transmits his/ her image to all students (T -> ALL)
teacher retrieves image of single student’s screen to view on his/ her own screen (S1 -> T)
teacher transmits a student screen to an individual student/ several students (S1 -> S5)
teacher transmits a student screen to a group of students (S1 -> S5, S6, S7)
teacher transmits a student screen to all students (S1 -> ALL)
Blanking of all Student Screens
In order to increase the participant’s attention, all student screens can be blanked with just one touch of a button
Blanking of all Student Screens
Via the function key blank on the system keyboard the teacher/ lecturer can blank individual, a group or all participants’ screens.
The blanking of all student screens while automatically locking keyboards and mice is possible through the optional keyboard and mouse lock function.
The teacher’s workstation is exempt from the blank function.
Parallel to the blanked screens the teacher / lecturer can send his screen content (PC or notebook) or the signal of a student to the projection.
Videoscanner | Monitoring
All student screens are scanned and successively displayed on the teacher/ lecturer monitor in one-second intervals
Videoscanner | Monitoring
The Video Scan / Monitoring function allows the teacher / lecturer to look at individual screen contents of the participants, and to view them on his/ her own screen. Each participants’ screen content appears for approx. 3 seconds on the teacher’s monitor.
An LED on the system keyboard (or a blinking light on the tablet pc) indicates which participant’s screen is currently on display.
With the ALT key the teacher/ lecturer can pause the scan function, which allows him/ her to take a longer look at a screen.
Custom Keyboard Layout
The system keyboard can be adapted to the respective seating arrangement in the classroom
Custom Keyboard Layout
The layout of the system keyboard is individually adapted to your seating plan in the classroom. The arrangement of the individual student buttons (S1, S2, ...) corresponds with the actual layout of the classroom.
This makes it easy for the teacher/ lecturer to match the keys, and increases the user-friendliness of the system.
The keyboard layout can of course be changed and/ or expanded at any time.
Electronic failure protection/ Fail-safe Function
A fail-safe function ensures that all PCs, monitors, keyboards and mice remain functional at all times
Electronic failure protection/ Fail-safe Function
The fail-safe function is one of the most important technically unique features of the alphadidact® Digital systems.
An electronic circuit within the DVI module passes the signal from the graphics board directly to the local monitor, even if the complete training system is idle or the DVI box has been separated from the central unit.
All screens, PCs, keyboards and mice remain fully functional in the case of unexpected system failure, and without the need for any changes to the cabling! Your training classes are therefore 100% secure - anytime!
The alphadidact® Digital star network is far superior, in particular to training systems with ring-, bus- or tree structure.
