iMatte


	Breakthrough, patented technology developed by motion picture and TV scientists is now available in a live audience environment. This hardware device is mounted above or below the projector and modifies the signal sent to the projector. Move back and forth between the projector and your presentation screen without the image being projected on your body - no blinding light shining in your eyes. Selective Inhibition^TM generates a 'mask' that corresponds to the shape of the presenters body and blocks the image being projected - thus eliminating the blinding light and distorted graphics projected on the presenters body. The iMatte LeadingEdge^TM technology allows unprecedented interactivity with your presentation. With the wireless remote mouse in hand, simply point to 'highlight', 'draw' or 'grab'. The presenter has full control of the PC from anywhere in the room and functions as a human mouse. All this without any special software or connections. iSkia is compatible with all equipment in today's boardroom, including AV control systems, projectors, DVD, VCR and PCs.

Technical Description: The iSkia is a hardware device that mounts on top of or underneath the projector and intercepts and modifies the video signal sent to the projector. It automatically generates a 'mask' that corresponds to the shape of a person standing in front of the projection screen. This mask blocks the projected image from being cast on the presenter, minimizing the blinding light normally projected into the eyes and the distorted graphics projected onto the presenters body. Interaction with graphics is performed utilizing LeadingEdge^TM technology which allows the user to control cursor position and manipulate graphic elements by hand pointing. A wireless remote control provides operator control of the features. The iSkia is compatible with video equipment present in typical conference boardrooms, including a computer, VCR, DVD, or any other video source driving a front projector through a VGA, Component, Composite, or S-Video connector.
