Introduction
Overview
The VP2120 is a Seamless Presentation Switch that integrates video matrix
switch, quad-view multistreaming, audio DSP, and idea-sharing platform into
one compact device. With the seamless switching between streamed-in
sources, the online idea exchanging features, and the network capability that
enables the wireless connection for mobile devices, the VP2120 and ATEN
Video Presentation Control App empower wireless BYOD collaboration
anytime when a short catch-up, quick meeting, instant brainstorm, stand-up, or
ad hoc call is needed.
Designed for flexible and spontaneous team collaboration, the VP2120 along
with ATEN Video Presentation Control App facilitates BYOD meetings with
the straightforward user interface that give users quick and easy access to any
on-the-fly meetings. Joining an online meeting is easy and secure. Participants
can just bring their own devices and use the private QR code or room code, or
auto scan the local network to get available room list to log in, even when
they’re not physically in the same area. The VP2120 allows bi-directional
content streaming of up to 4 participants simultaneously while allowing for up
to 12 individuals to log in. With the built-in multi-view mode, the streamed
sources can be displayed on the same screen, with the display layout either
being set up by the host or dynamically adjusts to suit the number of sources
available. Participants can also focus a streaming input to display full screen or
view the go-live screen together for synchronization. As long as the
participants are in the same network environment, the built-in audio DSP
enables the remote one to broadcast microphone audio signal to other meeting
members, as well as mixes Mic input and HDMI input for HDMI or audio
output. To avoid random noise and visual distractions, attendee audio and
video permission can be managed by the host.
Speaking of other highlighted features, the VP2120, together with ATEN
Video Presentation Control App, include the Whiteboard that allows real-time
annotation for idea exchange and synchronization, the Chat Room with ample
50MB storage space that helps enhance interaction among participants, and the
Video Capture function that records the meeting process for future tracking. In
order to increase audience size, the VP2120 supports RTMP for streaming
video content to large audience via RTMP compatible sites such as Facebook,
Youtube, etc. Thanks to this collaborative presentation solution, any form of
small-group discussion can be facilitated efficiently with ease to deliver an
immediate boost to team work.
