What is Activboom XE?
Activboom XE is a new product that combines a boom arm with a Sanyo PLC-XE40 short-throw projector. The boom arm can be fastened to a suitable wall in order to provide existing interactive whiteboard users with an ideal replacement projector solution. The solution offers all the benefits of a short-throw projector equipped with the latest technology, image quality amongst the best in its class and packed with security features. It is an ideal solution for replacing existing ceiling-mounted projectors that are in use with interactive whiteboards and are approaching the end of their natural life.

The boom arm itself is very robust and made of strong steel. It is 1.5 meters long and enables projection of the Sanyo XE40 projector onto interactive whiteboards with active areas that range from 60” to 78’’.

It is supplied with a special mains extension lead to run through the boom arm for use with the projector’s mains lead.

The XE40 projector is a 1500 ANSI lumen projector with XGA resolution. Sporting a special lens, it projects a crystal clear image over a remarkably short distance. The XE40 is available exclusively through Promethean and their channel partners.

It has many advanced security features, such as an in-built sonic alarm, PIN code security, ability to display the user’s logo upon projector start-up and no buttons on the projector’s panel. All these features make it much less attractive to potential thieves – and of course, it's bright orange. A capacitor battery back-up helps to reduce the risk of the lamp failing in the event of interrupted power supply.
