Samsung Flip is for the three C’s
Collaboration
Samsung Flip is for multiple users. Up to four users can concurrently write on the screen using their fingers or a dual-sided pen. Each can customise his or her writing style, size and colour. Notations are clear and visible in UHD resolution.
Samsung Flip also offers extensive device compatibility. It has wireless connectivity, USB, PC and mobile ports. A screen-sharing function makes Flip content available on connected PCs, compatible smartphones and tablets.
Users can import content from a personal device onto the display’s screen.
Creativity
Samsung Flip delivers an outstanding level of efficiency. It condenses multiple tools and processes required for traditional meetings into an all-in-one design. Participants do not need to use a touch pen to interact with the screen and can erase notes through a quick palm swipe.
Flip users can access up to 20-pages of writing space per document. Embedded search functionalities direct users to specific content. This continuous, rolling stream avoids lost time and interruptions. No more searching through multiple sheets of paper or notes to locate details.
Flip can be rotate – portrait or landscape. The pivot stand maximises available writing space at users’ preferred positions. For roundtable-style discussion simply use a compatible wall mount.
Connectivity
Post-meeting recaps and transcriptions can be a drain on resources. The Samsung Flip stores content within a central database to facilitate easy sharing. A password-based protection system safeguards meeting details and ensures that only approved users can access the information.
Once logged in, meeting facilitators and participants can download and share featured content through email or traditional printing. Users can also save meeting notes to a USB drive or other compatible external sources.
Samsung Flip will be available for purchase from Samsung Professional Display distributors and resellers.
