Logitech have introduced two options to help you make a big impact during your next presentation – the Logitech® Professional Presenter R800 and the Logitech® Wireless Presenter R400. With laser pointing, wireless convenience and intuitive slideshow controls you can move freely around the room, so that you focus on delivering a more effective and powerful presentation.

Logitech Professional Presenter R800

The Logitech Professional Presenter R800 has an easy-to-set timer with silent, vibrating alerts. The timer, displayed on a 1-by-1/2-inch LCD, is large enough to see with a quick glance – and vibrates when you have five, two and zero minutes left to present. Once the timer hits zero, it begins counting upward for up to sixty minutes so you can see how far you’ve exceeded your time limit.

When you’re moving around the room to engage your audience, at a range of up to 100 feet (30 meters), a reception-level indicator on the LCD keeps you from wandering too far. And, with a brilliant green laser pointer it’s easy to direct your audience’s attention to specific information from across the room – even on flat panel displays and in bright rooms.

Logitech Wireless Presenter R400

The Logitech Wireless Presenter R400 is designed to help you make your point in a smaller meeting. The Wireless Presenter R400 provides a red laser pointer that is easy to see against most backgrounds. A battery power indicator ensures you always have the power you need to finish your presentation, while a range of up to 50 feet (15 meters) lets you move around the room freely. It also has a simple, compact design which is portable and easy to use. Both presenters are plug an play.

Price for R800 £69.99 and R400 £44.99 available from September. For further details check out www.logitech.com
