Chapter 2: Overview
2. Overview
2.1 Introduction
The Wireless HDMI Presentation System (WHPS) is a must-have device for your meeting room. It turns your existing “wired”
projector into a “high-end wireless” projector. Plug-and-Show wireless projection features enable WHPS to make your
presentation and meeting efficient and successful.
High-performance wireless projection and audio projection enables you to easily share multimedia on a big monitor without the
hassle of using cables. The plug-and-show USB token makes wireless presentation easy. Just link your PC/Laptop to WHPS
(through WLAN or Ethernet), plug the token into a USB port, and in seconds, your screen will be wirelessly projected to the
connected projector.
With the WHPS unit’s 4-to-1 split screen feature, up to four PCs can be projected to one projector screen at the same time.
Side-by-side comparison from four PCs/PDAs is easy.
Macintosh®(Mac®) wireless projection is possible because WHPS supports a Mac client connected and projected wirelessly. Simply
launch the Mac client software that is stored in the accompanying USB token.
The WHPS supports Smartphone wireless projection. WHPS supports MobiShow function for the iOS/Android/Blackberry/
Windows Mobile 5/6 system. Launch the MobiShow utility to play photos and PtG files stored in your mobile phone for presenta-
tion.
The WHPS also supports the WiFi-Doc function for iOS/Android. You can download the WiFi-Doc app from Google/Play or App
store, and present the .doc .ppt .pdf .jpg file that’s stored in your device.
You can use JPG files to change the splash screen. Design the image with the message you want to present, upload it through a
web control page, and you have a customized starting page.
An AP-Client Mode function lets WHPS join the existing Access Point through Wi-Fi. You get flexible wireless network
deployment in an enterprise environment.
2.2 Features
• Supports Windows®8, Win7, Vista®, XP, and Macintosh®(Mac®) version 10.5 and above operating systems.
• Plug and show! No installation required—just plug in the accompanying token to a USB port and start your presentation in
seconds.
• 4-to-1 split screen projection enables you to turn one projector into four.
• Features conference control. Allows moderators to streamline meetings.
• Session security login, wireless WEP/WPA key, and Gatekeeper functions protect presentation contents and maintain security in
your office networks.
• Supports high-performance screen projection with audio.
• Easily change the splash screen image.
• Manage devices easily using SNMP manager.
• Supports AP Client mode, so you can deploy wireless networks in enterprise environments.
• Present Office files from your device using WiFi-Doc.
