Newline Elara Pro 86" 4K: The interactive whiteboard transforming your classroom

4 September 2026

What is the Newline Elara Pro and why is it revolutionising teaching?

The Newline Elara Pro is an 86-inch (2.18 metres) interactive whiteboard with 4K resolution (3840×2160 pixels) that combines the functionality of a traditional whiteboard with the advantages of a state-of-the-art touch panel. Its sleek black design and high-precision touchscreen make it the perfect tool for classrooms, boardrooms, and collaborative spaces.

Unlike conventional digital whiteboards that require projectors and image calibration, the Elara Pro integrates everything into a single device: no lamps, shadows, or adjustments needed. Simply switch it on and start working. Its touchscreen recognises up to 50 simultaneous touch points, allowing multiple students or participants to interact at once without the system freezing. Moreover, its 4K resolution ensures text and images remain sharp from any angle in the classroom.

Another key strength is its built-in Android operating system, which makes it easy to install educational apps without the need for an external PC. And if you need more power, connect a laptop or desktop computer via HDMI and work with your favourite programmes.

At Probyte, we understand the importance of a sound technology investment. That is why, in this guide, we take an in-depth look at the features of the Newline Elara Pro interactive whiteboard so you know exactly what it offers before making your decision.

Key features of the Newline Elara Pro 86"

4K display and advanced touch technology

The Newline Elara Pro features an 86-inch panel with 4K UHD resolution (3840×2160 pixels). This means you can display minute details of diagrams, maps, or formulas without them appearing blurry. The multi-touch technology provides 1 mm precision, ideal for writing with the stylus or your finger.

Unlike some interactive whiteboards that only respond to a special pointer, the Elara Pro reacts to any object: a finger, a marker, or even an eraser. This makes classroom interaction easier, as it does not require expensive peripherals.

Android operating system and connectivity

The board runs on Android, allowing you to install educational apps on its built-in Android 13. It also includes HDMI, USB, and network ports, as well as wireless connectivity for projecting your laptop, tablet, or smartphone screen without cables.

Annotation and collaboration software

It includes integrated software that lets you write over any content, take screenshots, and save or share your work. The annotation tool is intuitive: you can choose from several colours and stroke thicknesses, and your notes overlay on the projected image, perfect for explaining concepts in real time.

Integrated sound and durability

The Elara Pro features two 20 W speakers and a 20 W RMS subwoofer that ensure clear audio for videos or video conferencing without the need for external speakers. The panel has a 7H-hardness tempered glass surface that protects it from knocks and scratches, ideal for daily use in educational or corporate environments.

How do I install and configure the Newline Elara Pro?

Mounting options

The board can be fixed to the wall using an 800 x 400 mm VESA mount or you can purchase a mobile stand with wheels if you prefer to move it between classrooms. Installation is straightforward: two people can do it in under 30 minutes. It is important to ensure that the wall can support the weight (65 kg).

First start-up

Connect the power cable, press the power button and follow the initial set-up steps: language, Wi-Fi connection and system updates. Within 10 minutes you will have the board up and running.

Connecting your computer

Use an HDMI cable from your laptop to the board and, if you need the touch panel to control the computer, also connect a USB cable. You will immediately be able to touch the screen and operate your PC as if it were a large tablet.

Calibrating if necessary (only when using an external input)

Although the default calibration is accurate for Android mode, if you connect a PC with a different resolution, you can adjust the touch alignment in the settings menu. This is usually only needed once.

Use cases: classroom, business, and creativity

In education

Teachers can project textbooks, educational videos, or presentations and write on top of them with digital markers. The panel facilitates remote lessons, and students can participate from their own devices through the wireless screen sharing option.

In business meetings

Perfect for boardrooms: present charts, analyse reports, and collaborate in real time with remote colleagues. The ability to save all annotations and send them by email makes decision-making more efficient.

For creative and design teams

The 4K resolution and pen accuracy allow you to sketch drafts, review designs with clients, and make adjustments on the fly, without needing to print plans.
