Bring life to your presentations/lessons.

Get interactive
Engage your audience with interactive features and move away from the traditional board and laptop. The easy-to-use, rechargeable interactive pen works on virtually any smooth surface with any software program. Control content with the pen as if it were a mouse, on the surface, or from up to 9 meters (approximately 30 feet) away. Draw, write, move, and edit your content from a distance.
Get close to the action
Save space and enhance your viewing experience with the Dell S500wi. Its ultra short throw design allows positioning as close as 12 inches (0.30 meters) from the surface, projecting an approximate 100-inch (2.5 meter) diagonal image. Wall mounts are unobtrusive, and the projector's proximity to the wall eliminates distracting shadows.
Key Features
- Integrated wireless capabilities allow for 4-to-1 split screen and wireless connection of up to 30 PCs simultaneously.
- 3D capability enhances audience engagement (requires Active 3D goggles with DLP link, 3D player software, HDMI/VGA cable, 3D content, and a PC/laptop with a 120Hz signal output quad buffered graphics card, all sold separately).
- View presentations in various lighting conditions with the S500wi's 3200 ANSI lumens (maximum).
- Project a visual transcription of a program's audio portion on screen with Closed Captioning, ideal for videos in conference rooms or educational movies in classrooms.
- Includes eInstruction INTERWRITE WORKSPACE®, an intuitive teaching tool for interacting with digital content.
Reliability and Maintenance
