Digital Podium for Modern Spaces

A digital podium is an integrated audio-visual lectern that combines a touch-screen display, computer system, gooseneck microphone, multi-port connectivity, and cable management into a single piece of classroom or conference room furniture. It replaces the conventional wooden lectern with a smart, all-in-one presentation station designed for lecture halls, auditoriums, training rooms, and corporate boardrooms.

EIS TechInfra supplies three EisTouch digital podium models in India:

  • ET-201EA, the entry-level model with a 21.5″ tilt-adjustable display in an aluminum and solid wood body, is designed to dock a laptop.
  • ET-500XA, a workhorse model with a 23.6″ 10-point capacitive touch all-in-one PC running Intel i7 11th-generation with 8GB RAM and a 512GB SSD on Windows 11, plus electric height adjustment up to 250mm.
  • ET-501XA, a presentation showpiece with a 21.5″ multi-touch writable display, sliding cover mechanism that opens from 850mm to 1540mm width, and 30-million-cycle touch durability rated for institutional use.

Each podium is built for institutional daily use across schools, universities, and corporate offices nationwide.

What is a Digital Podium?

A digital podium, also known as a smart podium, electronic lectern, or digital lectern, is a complete audio-visual presentation station. Unlike a traditional wooden podium that holds nothing more than the presenter’s notes, a digital podium integrates:

  • A touch-screen display that lets the presenter run slides, annotate, or display documents without facing away from the audience
  • A computer system, built-in or laptop-docked, with HDMI, USB, and VGA inputs for any external source
  • A gooseneck microphone for clear voice projection, with optional wireless or lapel mic add-ons
  • Network and AC connectivity with structured cable management hidden inside the body
  • Mobility wheels that let staff reposition the podium between rooms without disassembly

The result is a single piece of furniture that does the work of a lectern, an AV cart, a microphone stand, and a workstation, designed to look professional in any classroom, auditorium, or boardroom.

For complete classroom and boardroom builds, EIS digital podiums integrate with our interactive flat panel displays, projectors, PTZ cameras, and wireless presentation systems.

Advanced Features of the Digital Podium

Interactive Touch Display

Multi-touch HD displays from 21.5" to 23.6" by model, with the ET-500XA supporting up to 10 simultaneous touch points. Tilt-adjustable for presenter comfort, with touch durability rated up to 30 million cycles on the ET-501XA for institutional daily use.

Integrated Computing

The ET-500XA has a built-in Intel i7 (11th gen) PC with 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD, and Windows 11, so there's no need for a separate laptop. The ET-201EA and ET-501XA include full laptop interface modules (HDMI, USB, Type-C, VGA) for institutions that prefer their own PC.

Gooseneck Microphone System

Anti-resonance microphone mounting with optional 70cm gooseneck mic (Taiwan-sourced, v-type super heart pointing, 20cm effective radio distance). On/off control on the ET-501XA. Wireless and lapel mic options available on request.

Complete I/O Connectivity

Full port layout including HDMI, USB 2.0, Type-C, VGA, RJ45 LAN, audio in/out, and 3-pin AC power. Cable management is integrated inside the body, with no exposed wiring on the presenter side.

Secure Storage and Rack

The ET-500XA features a removable rack door with an internal cabinet for AV extenders, splitters, and accessories. The ET-501XA includes a sliding cover mechanism that closes the podium to 850mm width when not in use, protecting all hardware.

Mobility and Stability

All three models have caster wheels for easy repositioning: hidden silent wheels on the ET-201EA for quiet reloading, and load-bearing casters on the ET-500XA and ET-501XA for stability. The ET-500XA also offers electric height adjustment up to 250mm for presenters of different heights.

Increased Engagement

Touch-driven interaction & multimedia keep audiences focused. Interactive AV lets presenters annotate slides, switch sources, & demonstrate documents in real time, sustaining attention better
than static projection.

Professional Appearance

A digital podium upgrades the visual identity of any room, whether boardroom, lecture hall, auditorium, or training space. Customizable
front-panel branding adds the institution’s logo permanently.

Ease of Use

Single-touch operation. The presenter switches between the laptop, podium PC, and external sources without an AV technician.

Long-Term Reliability

30-million-cycle touch panels on the ET-501XA, an Intel i7 industrial-grade PC on the ET-500XA, and metallic body construction across all three models, built for daily institutional use.

Frequently Asked Questions About Digital Podiums

What is a digital podium?
A digital podium is an integrated audio-visual lectern that combines a touch-screen display, computer system or laptop interface, gooseneck microphone, and multi-port connectivity into a single piece of furniture. It replaces the conventional wooden lectern, letting presenters control all AV equipment from one central station. Digital podiums are widely used in lecture halls, auditoriums, training rooms, boardrooms, and institutional settings across India.
How much does a digital podium cost in India?
EisTouch digital podium pricing depends on the model and configuration. The ET-201EA is the entry-level tier (laptop-driven, 21.5″ tilt-adjustable display). The ET-500XA is the mid-tier with a built-in Intel i7 PC, 23.6″ 10-point touch, and electric height adjustment. The ET-501XA is the premium tier with a sliding cover, a 30-million-cycle multi-touch writable display, and a 3 KW power distributor. Final pricing depends on configuration, installation scope, and AMC bundle. Contact EIS TechInfra for a current quote.
What is the difference between the EisTouch ET-201EA, ET-500XA, and ET-501XA?
The ET-201EA is the entry-level model with an aluminum and solid wood body, 21.5″ tilt-adjustable display, and a laptop-driven setup (no built-in PC). The ET-500XA is the workhorse with a 23.6″ 10-point capacitive touch all-in-one PC running Intel i7 11th-gen with 8GB RAM and 512GB SSD on Windows 11, plus electric height adjustment up to 250mm. The ET-501XA is the presentation showpiece with a sliding cover mechanism that opens from 850mm to 1540mm, a 21.5″ multi-touch writable display with 30-million-cycle durability, and a brushed aluminum finish.
Which digital podium is best for a classroom in India?
For a standard Indian classroom with 40 to 60 students, the ET-500XA is the right fit. The built-in i7 PC means teachers don’t need to bring a laptop, the 23.6″ touch panel is large enough for the front row to see clearly, and the electric height adjustment lets multiple teachers of different heights share the same podium. For larger lecture halls or auditoriums, opt for the ET-501XA. For institutions that prefer presenters to bring their own laptop, the ET-201EA is the most cost-effective.
Is a digital podium portable?
Yes. All three EisTouch models include caster wheels. The ET-201EA uses hidden, silent bottom wheels designed for quiet repositioning between classrooms. The ET-500XA and ET-501XA use high-quality load-bearing casters. None of the models is designed to be carried up stairs (the ET-500XA weighs 98 to 100 kg), but all can be wheeled between rooms on the same floor.
Can a digital podium be used for hybrid or online classes?
Yes. A digital podium supports hybrid and online teaching through its HDMI, USB, and Type-C inputs for laptop connection, its gooseneck microphone for clear voice capture, and its RJ45 LAN port for stable wired network access (available on the ET-500XA and ET-501XA). For a full hybrid setup, pair the podium with a PTZ camera, an interactive flat-panel for whiteboarding, and a lecture-recording system.
What is the warranty on EIS digital podiums?
Standard warranty and AMC (Annual Maintenance Contract) options vary by model and configuration. Contact EIS TechInfra sales for current warranty terms, extended coverage options, and AMC packages applicable to your purchase.
What connectivity options are available in EIS Digital Podiums?
EisTouch podiums support HDMI, USB 2.0, Type-C, VGA, RJ45 LAN, and 3.5mm or 6.35mm audio in/out, depending on the model. The ET-501XA has the broadest laptop interface module: Power ×1, USB ×2, Audio ×1, VGA ×1, Sound In ×1, HDMI ×1, RJ45 ×1. The ET-500XA splits ports between top (laptop input) and bottom (output, network, mic, power) for clean cable routing.
What's included in an EIS digital podium installation?
EIS TechInfra provides on-site delivery, podium assembly, electrical connection, software configuration (for the ET-500XA with built-in PC), integration with existing AV infrastructure (projectors, IFPs, sound systems), and end-user training. Cable management, network configuration, and customized branding (logo printing on the front panel) are also available on request. Contact sales for the standard installation scope applicable to your order.
How long does a digital podium last?
EisTouch digital podiums are built for institutional daily use. The metallic and ABS body construction is the most durable element. The touch display is the most commonly replaced component over the long term; the ET-501XA’s 30-million-cycle touch rating supports extended institutional use. The ET-500XA’s built-in i7 PC can be serviced or upgraded over time as software requirements evolve.
