A longer cord to the remote for the screen would be nice too. When presenters are using both the screen and whiteboard, the cord from the remote is in the way after they raise the screen.
If it's not feasible to lengthen the cord, perhaps the whiteboards could be separated by a couple of inches, and the remote mounted between them.
