Technology Update

The Wireless Meeting Room

With many manufacturers phasing out VGA connections on their devices (the anlouge sunset) and between HDMI, Displayport and other formats, no obvious sucessor, the arrival of truly wireless HD audio video connectivity sollutions such as Crestron AirMedia, Barco Clickshare and WOW Vision provide and end in sight for the complicated cabling and routing required in meeting rooms and  a solution to the challenges of accomodating the BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) culture. Google Chromecast and Apple AirPlay are gaining traction on the consumer side and the new generation of Pro wireless presentation media gateways offers the prospect of simple device-to-display connections for Windows� and OS X� personal computers, as well as Apple� iOS� and Android™ mobile devices via an existing 802.11 2.4GHz Wi-Fi infrastructure.

Wireless presentation media gateways provide a simple, wireless HD presentation solution making it possible for a guest to present wirelessly through the room's HD display or projector with no requirement to make a wired connection and no requirement to change settings. All connections are made via the local Wi-Fi network.

These new wireless presentation technologies support Microsoft� Office documents (PowerPoint�, Word, Excel�), as well as PDFs and photos, from a smartphone or tablet device with the capability to host 32 devices simultaneously connected.

Wireless presentation media gateways currently support Windows� and OS X� computers, as well as Apple� iOS� and Android™ mobile devices. Presenters using a Mac� or PC can connect to the wireless presentation media gatewaywithout any special software installed, while iPad� and other mobile device users will need only to download a free wireless presentation media gateway app from the iTunes App Store or Google Play.
