It’s available in two models – the Plus Series and Pro Series, each designed for education and business.
Both models have been recognized for their superior manufacturing and design. In 2019, the Pro and Plus Series took home three awards apiece, meaning the Clevertouch is the most decorated interactive display in the industry.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
A Closer Look at This Successful Year for the Clevertouch
This isn’t the first year the Clevertouch has run the award table. In 2018, the Clevertouch Plus Series was named the Collaboration Product of the Year by AV News Awards, and the Clevertouch Pro Series earned Collaboration Product of the Year at the InAVation Awards. In 2016 and 2017, Clevertouch won the coveted Interactive Product of the Year at the AV Awards. In 2015, also at the AV Awards, the company received the Manufacturer of the Year designation. Clevertouch has a winning history, and a winning present.

Tech & Learning is focused on educational AV technology, and the Clevertouch Plus Series (which is designed for educators) won a coveted award.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text css=".vc_custom_1582837592565{margin-bottom: 10px !important;}"]Why Data Projections Prefers the Clevertouch
The Clevertouch is an impressively decorated interactive display technology, and Data Projections has offered it for years. Some of the reasons the Clevertouch has been and remains a staple offering include:[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=".vc_custom_1582837606353{margin-bottom: 10px !important;}"]Purpose built for education or enterprise
The Clevertouch is available in its Plus Series and Pro Series. The Plus Series is for educators and the Pro Series is designed for business settings. The Plus Series is the company’s original offering and has been a mainstay in classrooms around North America and Europe for years. It’s built with several features that make education more engaging and more memorable. It’s also built with advanced controls that allow teachers to utilize the device wherever they are. The Pro Series is designed to fit into existing workflows, with support for popular solutions like Skye for Business, Zoom and Slack. It’s also built with formidable security and network options, which ensures it is appropriate for enterprise applications.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=".vc_custom_1582837615177{margin-bottom: 10px !important;}"]Quality and usability in a single package
The Clevertouch can output 4K resolutions with extremely high contrast ratios for vivid imagery. This is made possible with LED technology, which is the most advanced display option on the market. A typical Clevertouch will provide at least 50,000 hours of rated performance, though it’s common for displays to exceed this number. That’s several years of low maintenance operation, so every Clevertouch is a long-term investment. This level of quality, though, doesn’t come at the expense of usability. Both the Plus and Pro Series are designed for ease of use, which is important given the number of people who will utilize the display. The superior usability is driven by its LUX operating system, which is similar to the interface on Android devices. This means anyone who is familiar with mobile device UIs (that’s nearly everyone, at this point) will have no trouble getting accustomed to the display’s controls and functions.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=".vc_custom_1582837624175{margin-bottom: 10px !important;}"]A wealth of educational resources
The Clevertouch Plus Series comes with an array of software and supplemental resources, designed to enhance the display’s educational impact. Standout software offerings include Lynx, Clevermaths and Snowflake MultiTeach, which were all designed with input from educators. Lynx allows for easy lesson creation and media collation, along with extensive whiteboarding options. Clevermaths is used to model advanced math functions (including graphing), physics and chemistry experiments. Snowflake Multiteach turns the Clevertouch into an exploration learning center, where multiple students can engage with quizzes, games or art activities at their own pace. Further, the Clevertouch comes with the Cleverstore, which houses hundreds of educational applications that are completely free. The Cleverstore is tightly curated to maintain app quality.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=".vc_custom_1582837633101{margin-bottom: 10px !important;}"]Superior writing tools
The Plus and Pro Series are both available with a Super Glide Surface, which enables precision handwriting and gestures. When paired with a high precision touch pen, users can write naturally with no lag and erase with their palm. The Clevertouch can accommodate up to 20 points of simultaneous touch, too, so several people can access the display at once.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=".vc_custom_1582837649156{margin-bottom: 10px !important;}"]Superior presentation and control tools
The Plus and Pro Series are compatible with the Clevershare app, which allows educators and presenters to control the display remotely. Clevershare can also be used to share content from up to 50 other devices, and four screens can be sent to display simultaneously. This is perfect for class presentations or brainstorming sessions.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Remote management options
The Clevertouch also comes with a robust MDM, so IT administrators can monitor, control and update an entire network of displays from a single device. With the Clevertouch MDM, IT personnel can organize displays into groups for easy control and updating, take control of individual Clevertouch displays, send direct messages to one or more displays, start or restart a display, or lock a display in the event of theft. Clevertouch MDM makes it easy for organizations to scale up their Clevertouch presence without adding more busywork for IT.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]There’s a lot to like about the Clevertouch – so much, in fact, that the display has earned more than its fair share of awards. It’s a clear sign that the Clevertouch is the leading interactive display available, and a compelling AV solution for Data Projection’s clients.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
