IV.4.5 Ghost Inking™
Ghost Inking is specific to the ScreenBeam product portfolio and solves the latency (delay)
typically experienced when a touch-enabled display or projector is connected to a computer
or mobile device over a network. Ghost Inking is currently included in ScreenBeam products
for all customer segments in commercial, government, and education.
Due to limitations of current wireless environments, users may see an obvious delay when
they write or draw quickly on a touch-enabled display using a wireless display connection.
ScreenBeam’s patent-pending Ghost Inking technology backfills the user’s finger or pen
ahead of the actual digital ink marking. The Ghost Ink stays with the finger or pen regardless
of how quickly or slow the user draws. The user experience is greatly improved with a more
intuitive and natural pen-to-paper like experience that fosters better collaboration overall.
The Ghost Inking feature is enabled by default on the ScreenBeam products that support this
feature. Users are allowed to configure or disable this feature on the Advanced settings page
with ScreenBeam CMS Enterprise.
