Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the SMART Board Mini interactive podium?The SMART Board Mini is a compact 27" interactive podium designed for presenters, instructors and operators who need to face their audience whilst staying in full control of live content. It combines a 4K UHD display, a built-in 4K camera, an 8-microphone array and SMART Ink annotation software in a single device that can be deployed across briefing rooms, training facilities, council chambers and classrooms.
-
Is the SMART Board Mini a government-specific product?No. The SMART Board Mini is an interactive podium available across education, business and government environments. It is not TAA-compliant, NDAA-compliant or available through the GSA Schedule. For government applications requiring TAA or NDAA compliant interactive displays, SMART recommends the MX Pro series with iQ TAA or the M Pro high secure series TAA. The SMART Board Mini remains well-suited for government training, DoDEA classrooms and administrative environments where compliance is not a procurement requirement.

Its compact footprint and flexible deployment options make it adaptable across permanent and temporary installations of any size.
-
Can the SMART Board Mini be used for government training programmes?Yes. The SMART Board Mini is well suited to instructor-led government training, including new hire onboarding, policy briefings, professional development sessions, and scenario-based exercises. Instructors can annotate live content, engage in-room and remote participants simultaneously, and maintain direct eye contact with their audience throughout a session.
