TV-Toucher Interactive Smart Whiteboard from Tallpic shows how an ordinary TV can become a full-featured interactive whiteboard using simple hardware and a minimal setup. This short guide explains the conversion approach, highlights plug-and-play ease, and helps buyers see how quickly a standard display becomes a collaborative touchscreen with professional results.
The TV-Toucher Interactive Smart Whiteboard is a compact conversion kit designed to add accurate, pen-based touch to almost any flat-panel display. Instead of replacing a screen with an expensive proprietary interactive display, the TV-Toucher turns an existing TV or projection surface into a touch surface using a sensor arm, lightweight pen, and simple connectivity. Tallpic developed the product to deliver low-cost interactivity for classrooms, meeting rooms, training centers, and retail installations.
Key specifications at a glance:
Supported display sizes up to 100 inches.
Plug-and-play operation with Windows and Mac computers.
Wired USB connection for power and data; optional wireless dongle for untethered use.
Pen-based interaction plus optional multi-touch emulation for common classroom and meeting workflows.
Compact sensor arm with magnetic bracket for easy mounting and removal.
No heavy drivers required for most systems; recognized as a generic pointing device so it works with any mouse-based application.
This product is aimed at users who want an affordable path to interactive teaching and collaboration without investing in a new display. Tallpic’s experience in space-position algorithms and patented sensing technologies allows TV-Toucher to map precise pen coordinates on large screens reliably.
TV-Toucher converts a regular display into an interactive surface by combining a camera-based or infrared sensing arm with a pen that emits a distinguishable signal. The sensing arm detects the pen’s position relative to the screen plane and translates that into cursor movements and clicks. The system relies on a short calibration routine to align the sensing coordinate system with the visible display, producing accurate pen-to-cursor mapping.
The hardware bundle is intentionally simple:
Sensor arm with adjustable joint for different display depths.
Magnetic bracket that secures the arm to the top edge of a TV or display or attaches to a nearby whiteboard surface.
Rechargeable active pen with pen tip and eraser functionality.
Wireless dongle that enables radio communication between the pen and the host computer.
USB cable used for power and, when wired mode is selected, data.
Small protective pouch, spare tips, and mounting screws included.
The packaging includes everything required for a single-touch setup, with optional accessory packs that include spare pens and extra dongles for multi-user classrooms.
The TV-Toucher is recognized by Windows and macOS as a pointing device. Because the device uses standard HID protocols, additional driver installation is rarely required. Once connected, the host computer treats pen input as mouse events, which means the TV-Toucher works with any existing application that accepts mouse input. Popular whiteboard and conferencing apps like Zoom, Miro, Google Jamboard, Microsoft Whiteboard, and most LMS platforms operate normally with the device.
For users who want advanced features such as multi-pen support, gesture recognition, or firmware updates, Tallpic provides optional utility software. However, for most classrooms and meeting rooms the out-of-the-box behavior is enough to start drawing, annotating slides, and controlling presentations immediately.
Unpack the TV-Toucher kit and confirm all parts are present.
Attach the magnetic bracket to the top edge of the TV or to the whiteboard frame.
Mount the sensor arm to the bracket and adjust the arm so the sensor faces the display plane without obstruction.
Plug the USB cable into the host computer or into a USB power source for wireless dongle operation.
Power up the system and launch the built-in calibration routine.
Perform a four-point calibration by tapping the pen at indicated corners on the screen.
The entire process typically takes under ten minutes for a single display. For multi-display setups, repeat mounting and calibration for each screen.
Getting a reliable calibration is the key to a natural pen experience. Tallpic designed the TV-Toucher’s calibration to be straightforward and forgiving when room lighting or display alignment vary.
Connect the sensor arm and power the system. You will hear short beeps indicating the sensor is ready. Launch the calibration utility or follow the on-screen prompts that appear automatically. The standard routine uses four-point calibration: tap the pen at each of the four corner targets in sequence. After each tap you will hear a confirmation beep. A longer beep indicates a failed capture and the point should be retaken.
Calibration tips:
Allow the pen tip to make a deliberate, stable tap rather than a quick swipe.
Avoid aiming the pen directly into extremely bright reflections when tapping corners.
If the sensor arm was adjusted after the initial calibration, repeat the routine.
If the screen has a protective film or glass cover, ensure the pen tip makes contact on the visible surface plane.
When rotating the sensor arm back flat against the display for storage or transport, keep the arm’s pivot secure so repeated mounting does not change the bracket alignment. The magnetic bracket helps keep the arm stable during regular use, but for rooms with heavy vibrations or frequent repositioning, a secondary screw mount is available.
The TV-Toucher is versatile across a wide range of scenarios:
Classroom
Interactive lessons where teachers annotate slides, highlight passages, and save notes for students.
Student-centered activities allowing groups to present and annotate answers on the big screen.
Low-cost replacement for expensive interactive panels so schools can upgrade more classrooms within limited budgets.
Corporate meetings
Real-time markup of strategy documents, diagrams, and spreadsheets during workshops.
Enhanced hybrid meetings where remote participants see live annotations through screen-sharing.
Quick whiteboarding for brainstorming sessions where notes are saved and distributed after the meeting.
Training and certification
Hands-on instruction that requires precise pen input for form-filling, marking, and step-by-step procedures.
Multi-user setups where several pens can be circulated among trainees using wireless dongles.
Retail demos and kiosks
Product configurators where customers interact with images and place annotations.
Sales presentations that benefit from spontaneous highlighting and drawing.
Recommended screen sizes and room layouts:
Small classrooms and huddle rooms: 55 to 75-inch displays.
Medium classrooms and conference rooms: 75 to 86-inch displays.
Large lecture halls or auditoriums: 86 to 100-inch displays, ensuring seating angles and line of sight avoid excessive parallax when pen interaction is required.
Why the cursor doesn’t match the pen?
Re-run the four-point calibration to realign sensor coordinates with the display.
Ensure the sensor arm has not shifted or the bracket lifted slightly.
How do I switch to wireless mode?
Plug the wireless dongle into the host computer and provide USB power to the sensor arm or use the sensor in battery mode if available. The device will pair automatically and report as a pointing device.
Does TV-Toucher work with Zoom, Jamboard, and Miro?
Yes, because the system emulates standard mouse input the TV-Toucher works with popular conferencing and whiteboard apps. For best experience, set the app to receive pointer input and enable screen annotation features.
What if the calibration keeps failing?
Check for strong direct sunlight on the screen during calibration and reduce glare.
Make sure the pen battery is charged and the tip is in good condition.
Can multiple users annotate at once?
The base model supports single-pen operation; classrooms that require simultaneous multi-pen use can opt for accessory packs that include additional pens and dongles plus the advanced utility software.
How durable is the pen tip?
Tips are replaceable and spare tips are included in the accessory pack. For heavy-use environments, order spare tip kits.
