SMART Board Mini 727 — The Interactive Podium Designed for the Way Teachers Teach

Named Best of Show at ISE 2025, the SMART Board Mini 727 (model SIP-727) is a revolutionary compact interactive podium from SMART Technologies that puts powerful, intuitive interactivity right at the teacher's fingertips — without ever turning their back on the class. Purpose-built for education, it brings together a rich 27" 4K touchscreen, professional-grade camera and audio, a precision active stylus, and versatile mounting options into a single elegant unit.

At the heart of the Mini 727 is a 27" 4K Ultra HD (3840 × 2160) LED display with optically bonded, anti-glare, anti-fingerprint glass delivering exceptional image clarity at 500 cd/m² brightness. PCAP touch technology supports up to 10 simultaneous touch points with palm rejection, and the included precision stylus uses Microsoft Pen Protocol (MPP 2.0) with 4,096 levels of pressure sensitivity, a fine eraser, mouse right-click button, and status indicator light — charged conveniently in the integrated bezel dock.

The built-in 4K UHD camera (3840 × 2160 at 30 fps) features a wide 118° field of view, auto-focus, user-controllable auto-framing, 5× ePTZ digital zoom, and an integrated privacy shutter, making it ideal for hybrid and remote learning scenarios. An integrated linear eight-microphone array with built-in acoustic echo cancellation ensures crystal-clear audio capture, complemented by dual enhanced 6W speakers for confident voice projection in any space.

Flexibility is central to the design. The SMART Board Mini tilts up to 120°, making it equally at home flat on a desk, angled on a lectern, wall-mounted via the included VESA mounting plate, or used free-standing. A single USB-C cable handles charging (65W), touch data, and video simultaneously, keeping desktops and teaching environments clean and cable-free. HDMI input and output, USB 3.0, and RJ45 LAN connectivity ensure it works seamlessly alongside existing classroom infrastructure.

The Mini 727 supports both Windows- and Android-based OPS computing modules, giving institutions the flexibility to run their preferred platform. Optional bundles (SIP-727-PCMi5 and SIP-727-PCMi7) include integrated OPS PC modules with SMART Meeting Pro for complete out-of-the-box hybrid teaching solutions. SMART software including SMART Notebook, SMART Ink, and SMART Mirror is fully compatible with the Mini 727.

With ENERGY STAR certification and a Kensington Security Slot, the SMART Board Mini 727 is a secure, sustainable, and future-ready investment for any classroom, lecture theatre, office, or assembly hall.
