PRESENTATION SYSTEM

With Crestron AirMedia, anyone can walk into a room and wirelessly present PowerPoint, Excel, Word and PDF documents, as well as photos, on the room display from their personal iOS or Android mobile device. MacBook and PC laptops can be connected seamlessly as well. There are no wires to hook up, no complicated settings to configure, and no AV or control system is required—simply connect via the local Wi-Fi network. Collaborate and share content from up to four personal devices simultaneously on one room display. For very large meeting spaces, Remote View enables up to 40 participants either at the back of the room or in other locations to log in from a Web browser to view the presentation on their mobile devices. Securely connect AirMedia to the wired LAN; users connect to the existing wireless infrastructure, so there are no new access points to manage.

INTERACTIVE SCREEN

Draper’s Scribe Interactive Screen is a rigid front projection screen for use with ultra-short-throw projectors. The strong protective coating allows you to write directly onto the screen with a dry erase marker. With 80 percent lower gloss than the typical whiteboard, Scribe Interactive Screen’s protective coating reflects less light, so the projected content isn’t washed out by bright office lights or in areas where there isn’t a lot of lighting control. The coating is also tough, wiping clean easily with an eraser. In addition, the Scribe comes with a low profile frame, and is magnetic as standard.
