The era of the “chalk-and-talk” teacher is evolving into the era of the “content creator.” Whether you are a private tutor running a YouTube channel, a coaching institute broadcasting hybrid classes, or a university professor recording lectures for a digital library, your primary tool is no longer just a board—it is a broadcast studio.
However, the market is cluttered with generic touchscreens that fail when it comes to the specific demands of online teaching. Online teaching requires more than just touch; it requires integration. You need a display that plays nice with cameras, captures clear audio, integrates with streaming software, and keeps students engaged through Artificial Intelligence.
In this landscape, Benchmark Technomate has emerged not just as a hardware manufacturer, but as a solutions architect. As a premier “Make in India” brand, they have designed a spectrum of products specifically for the Indian online educator.
But with so many series—Sigma, MaxPro, Alpha, Classic—which one is right for your specific online teaching setup?
In this definitive guide, we rank the Top 10 Benchmark Technomate Solutions, categorizing them by specific online teaching needs, from the all-in-one flagship studios to the budget-friendly starter kits.

1. The “Online Teaching” Difference: Why Standard Boards Fail
Before we unveil the list, we must define what makes a board “Online Ready.” In a physical class, readability is key. In an online class, connectivity and workflow are key.
- Camera Integration: Does the board fight with your camera, or does it integrate with it?
- Audio Processing: Can the board handle Zoom/Teams audio without creating an echo loop?
- Software Compatibility: Does it support OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) and streaming platforms seamlessly?
- AI Assistance: Does the board help you generate content on the fly so you don’t have to pause your recording to search for an image?
Benchmark Technomate designs every panel with these questions in mind.
2. The Top 10 Benchmark Technomate Solutions for 2025
This list includes specific models and curated configurations (bundles) that Benchmark Technomate offers to solve distinct teaching challenges.
#1. Benchmark Sigma AI A7 Pro (75-inch)
Category: The Ultimate All-in-One Studio
This is, without a doubt, the flagship. The Sigma AI A7 Pro is the number one choice for any educator who wants to eliminate technical headaches and focus purely on teaching. It is designed to replace an entire room full of equipment.
- The “Studio-in-a-Box” Advantage: The defining feature of the Pro model is the Integrated 4K AI Camera and 8-Microphone Array. Most online teachers struggle with setting up external webcams, tripods, and messy cables. The Sigma AI A7 Pro has the studio built directly into the bezel.
- AI Auto-Tracking: For an online teacher, movement is energy. If you are stuck in one spot, your video becomes boring. The built-in AI camera tracks you as you move across the 75-inch canvas, ensuring you are always the focus of the video.
- Crystal Clear Audio: The 8-mic array uses beamforming technology to capture your voice clearly while rejecting the noise of ceiling fans or ACs—a common problem in Indian home studios.
- The 7-Assistant AI Engine: It includes Benchmark’s full suite of AI tools (Knowledge Generator, Quiz Architect, Visual Artist), allowing you to create dynamic content live on stream without breaking eye contact with your camera.
Best For: Professional YouTubers, Online Course Creators, and Educators who want the absolute best “plug-and-play” experience.
#2. Benchmark MaxPro 14 AI (75-inch)
Category: The “Zero-Lag” Writing Champion
Online teaching is visual. If your writing lags, your video looks unprofessional. The MaxPro 14 AI is engineered for the perfectionist who cares deeply about the handwriting experience.
- Zero Air Gap Technology: Traditional screens have a tiny gap between the glass and the display, creating a “parallax” effect where the ink doesn’t quite match the pen tip. The MaxPro 14 removes this gap entirely. The result is a writing experience that feels exactly like pen on paper.
- Zero Writing Delay: Powered by the latest Android 13/14 chipset, the response time is instantaneous. For Math and Science teachers who write complex equations rapidly, this fluidity is essential for a smooth video.
- Anti-Glare Superiority: When recording a screen, reflections are the enemy. The MaxPro 14 uses advanced anti-glare coating to ensure your studio lights don’t wash out your content.
Best For: Math/Science Teachers, Calligraphy Artists, and Educators who prioritize handwriting precision above all else.
#3. Benchmark Sigma AI A7 (75-inch)
Category: The AI Powerhouse for Custom Cameras
The standard Sigma AI A7 (Non-Pro) offers all the software intelligence of the flagship but without the built-in camera. Why is this #3? Because many professional studios already have high-end DSLR or PTZ cameras.
- Same Brain, Flexible Body: You get the powerful “Seven-Assistant” AI engine—the Quiz Architect, the Lesson Planner, the Subject Specialist—allowing you to generate content on the fly.
- Freedom of Choice: Since it lacks the built-in camera, it is slightly more affordable. This frees up your budget to invest in a specific external camera setup, such as a Benchmark PTZ camera, which you can place at a specific angle or distance that suits your room.
- Performance: It features high-end specs (8GB RAM, 128GB Storage) to ensure that running heavy apps like Zoom and screen recording simultaneously doesn’t slow down the system.
Best For: Established studios that already own professional camera gear but need the smartest board on the market.
#4. Benchmark Alpha 14 Series
Category: The High-Performance Android 14 Workhorse
Technology moves fast. The Alpha 14 is Benchmark’s future-forward panel, running on the latest Android 14 operating system.
- Speed and Security: Android 14 brings enhanced security, faster app launching, and better multitasking capabilities. For online teachers who juggle multiple apps—a browser for research, a whiteboard for teaching, and a chat app for students—the Alpha 14 handles the load effortlessly.
- User-Centric Design: The interface is cleaner and more customizable, allowing you to pin your most-used teaching apps for instant access during a live class.
- Value Proposition: It sits in the “Goldilocks” zone—more advanced than the entry-level models but more affordable than the Sigma series, making it a favorite for growing coaching centers.
Best For: Tech-savvy educators who want the latest operating system and snappy performance.
#5. Benchmark Classic Series (75-inch)
Category: The Best Budget 4K Panel
The Classic Series is the board that democratized digital education in India. For many tutors starting their online journey, budget is the biggest constraint.
- The “Under ₹1 Lakh” Revolution: Benchmark often positions the Classic Series (depending on offers) at an incredibly accessible price point. It proves you don’t need to spend a fortune to look professional.
- Core Essentials Perfected: It strips away the AI bells and whistles to focus on what matters: a stunning 4K UHD display and a smooth 20-point touch experience.
- Reliability: It is a workhorse. Simple, durable, and effective. For recording standard lectures where you just need a reliable digital canvas, the Classic Series is unbeatable in value.
Best For: New YouTubers, Startups, and Budget-conscious Tutors.
#6. Benchmark Sigma AI A7 Pro (86-inch)
Category: The Lecture Hall Broadcaster
Sometimes, 75 inches isn’t enough. If you are teaching in a large hall and broadcasting that lecture to online students simultaneously (Hybrid Mode), you need the 86-inch Sigma AI A7 Pro.
- The “Wow” Factor: The massive 86-inch canvas allows you to write huge, legible text that is visible to students sitting in the back row and clear for students watching on a mobile phone screen.
- Split-Screen Mastery: The extra screen real estate is perfect for multitasking. You can have your presentation on one half and your whiteboard on the other, without either looking cramped on the video feed.
- Integrated Hybrid Tech: Like its smaller sibling, it includes the AI camera and mics, making it capable of capturing the audio of a large room effectively.
Best For: Universities, Large Coaching Halls, and “Masterclass” style setups.
#7. Benchmark Classic Series (65-inch)
Category: The Home Tutor’s Compact Choice
Not every online teacher has a dedicated studio room. Many teach from a spare bedroom or a corner of their living room. The 65-inch Classic Series is the perfect fit for tight spaces.
- Space Saving: It fits comfortably in smaller rooms where a 75-inch board might be overwhelming or too close to the camera (causing wide-angle distortion).
- Intimacy: The smaller size allows the teacher to stand closer to the camera and the board, creating a more intimate, conversational style of teaching that works very well for subjects like languages or counseling.
- Entry-Level Price: It is the most affordable entry point into the Benchmark ecosystem, allowing almost anyone to upgrade from a pen-tablet to a full digital board.
Best For: Home Tutors, 1-on-1 Mentors, and Small Home Studios.
#8. The Benchmark “Virtual Class” Studio Bundle
Category: Panel + PTZ Integration
This is a curated solution by Benchmark Technomate. It combines a Benchmark Digital Board (usually Alpha or Sigma) with a dedicated Benchmark 4K PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) Camera.
- Why Bundle? While the Sigma Pro has a built-in camera, a PTZ camera offers optical zoom. This means you can mount the camera on the ceiling or the back of the room, and use a remote to zoom in on your face or the board with zero loss of quality.
- Professional Angles: This setup allows for “TV News” style production values. You can preset camera angles (e.g., Angle 1: Wide shot of teacher and board, Angle 2: Tight shot of the board content) and switch between them instantly.
- Seamless Compatibility: Since both the board and the camera are Benchmark products, you are guaranteed they will work together without driver issues.
Best For: High-end Tuition Centers and Premium Content Creators who want multiple camera angles.
#9. The Benchmark “Hybrid Class” Bundle
Category: Audio-Visual Perfection
Hybrid teaching (teaching offline and online students simultaneously) is the hardest format to master. This bundle solves the audio nightmare.
- The Audio Solution: It pairs the Benchmark Digital Board with a professional Benchmark Wireless Microphone System and external speakers.
- The Workflow: The teacher wears a high-quality Benchmark lapel or headset mic. This ensures that the online students hear the teacher perfectly, regardless of the noise in the physical classroom. The panel displays the Zoom/Teams gallery, so the teacher can interact with both audiences.
- No Feedback Loops: The ecosystem is tuned to prevent the dreaded audio screech (feedback) that happens when you mix mics and speakers in a live call.
Best For: Schools and Colleges running dual-mode classes.
#10. The Benchmark “Green Chroma” Bundle
Category: Broadcast-Grade Production
This is the ultimate tier for creativity. It combines a Benchmark Digital Board with a professional Green Screen (Chroma) setup.
- The “Weatherman” Effect: In this setup, the Benchmark panel provides the interaction, while the green screen allows the teacher to be superimposed over digital backgrounds.
- Immersive Learning: Imagine teaching history and appearing to stand in front of the Pyramids, while writing on a floating digital board next to you. This bundle provides the lighting, the green screen, and the Benchmark hardware to make that possible.
- The Creator’s Dream: This pushes online teaching into the realm of high-end edutainment.
Best For: Ed-Tech Companies and Creative Educators looking for viral-quality content.
3. The Ecosystem Advantage: Pairing with the Benchmark AIO PC
No “Top 10” list of Benchmark solutions is complete without mentioning the brain that drives them: The Benchmark All-in-One (AIO) PC.
While the boards have built-in Android, professional online teaching often requires Windows (for running OBS, full PowerPoint, or heavy simulations).
- The Perfect Partner: The Benchmark AIO PC sits on your desk. It is super slim, powerful (Intel i5 options), and connects to the board with a single cable.
- The Workflow: You use the AIO screen to monitor your stream health, read student comments, or manage your recording software, while the Benchmark Board acts as your teaching canvas. This “Dual-Display” workflow is the secret of top educators.
- Aesthetics: Because it matches the design language of the Benchmark boards, your studio looks clean, modern, and professional.
4. Why Benchmark Technomate is the #1 Choice for Indian Educators
Why choose Benchmark over the dozens of other brands?
- The “Make in India” Commitment: Benchmark Technomate is a homegrown brand. This means their products are designed for Indian conditions (dust-resistant, voltage fluctuation protection) and their support is local.
- Unmatched Support Network: With authorized distributors and service centers in Ahmedabad, Bhopal, Jaipur, Kolkata, Lucknow, Noida, Patna, Pune, and beyond, help is never far away. They offer On-Site Warranty, which is critical. You cannot ship a 75-inch board for repairs; Benchmark sends a technician to you.
- Financial Accessibility: Through Zero Down Payment and easy EMI options, Benchmark has made it possible for even small tutors to afford these “Top 10” configurations.
- Integrated AI: They are not just selling touchscreens; they are selling assistants. The Sigma AI engine is genuinely useful for teaching, automating tasks that usually waste time.

6. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Which Benchmark model is best for a beginner YouTuber? A: The Benchmark Sigma AI A7 Pro (75-inch) is the best choice because it is “plug-and-play.” It has a high-quality camera and mic built-in, so you don’t need to learn how to set up lighting, tripods, or external audio gear. You just turn it on and hit record.
Q2: I am a Math teacher. I write very fast. Which board is best? A: The Benchmark MaxPro 14 AI is specifically designed for you. Its “Zero Air Gap” technology and superior processing power ensure there is absolutely no lag between your pen tip and the line on the screen, providing the most natural writing experience.
Q3: Can I upgrade my Benchmark board later if I buy a cheaper model now? A: Yes. All Benchmark boards come with an OPS Slot. This allows you to slide in a Windows PC module later to upgrade the processing power. Also, if you buy a Classic Series now, you can add a Benchmark PTZ Camera later to upgrade your studio capabilities.
Q4: Is the Benchmark AIO PC necessary for online teaching? A: It is not strictly necessary (the board works as a standalone Android device), but it is highly recommended. The AIO PC allows you to run professional streaming software like OBS, manage your files easier, and monitor your chat while teaching. It elevates the quality of your class significantly.
Q5: How does the AI on the Sigma series help in online teaching? A: It saves “dead air” time. In a live class, if a student asks for a diagram of a heart, you don’t want to pause, open a browser, type, search, and download. With Benchmark AI, you just write “Heart,” circle it, and the AI puts the image on the board instantly. This keeps the flow of the video smooth and engaging.
Q6: Does Benchmark provide installation for these studio setups? A: Yes. Benchmark Technomate has a nationwide network of partners who provide complete installation services, including wall mounting the board, setting up the camera/mics (if external), and configuring the software for your first class.
