Chapter 2: Overview
2. Overview
2.1 Introduction
The Wireless Video Presentation System II (WVPS) transforms your existing “wired” projector into a “high-end wireless” projector.
It features plug-and-show, 4-to-1 split screen, and PDA wireless projection.
Plug & Show
With the accompanying Plug & Show USB Token, wireless presentation becomes easy. Just link your PC/Laptop to the WVPS
(through WLAN or Ethernet), plug the token into a USB port, and in seconds, your screen will be wirelessly projected to the con-
nected projector.
4-to-1 Split Screen Projection
With this 4-to-1 split screen feature, the WVPS projects up to four PC screens to one projector at the same time. This enables you
to compare four PCs/PDAs side-by-side.
PDA Wireless Projection
You don’t need a laptop computer to link to the WVPS. Simply connect your PDA phone to WVPS through WiFi®, and start your
presentation.
Conference control
The WVPS supports a Conference Control function to help you moderate the conference. The conference moderator can control
projection from connected PCs through a Web-based control page.
Magnifier Feature
WVPS has a magnifier feature for codec-free video clips watching experience. By dragging and dropping the video into the magni-
fier capture region, you will be able to watch the video on a big screen for the best experience.
Macintosh Wireless Projection
The WVPS supports Mac®computers connected to a client and projected wirelessly. By launching the Mac client software that is
stored in the accompanying USB token, the WVPS enables Mac users to use the wireless presentation feature.
2.2 Features
• Supports Windows®Vista®, XP, 2000 and Mobile 5/6.
• Plug and show! No installation required … just plug the token into a USB port.
• 4-to-1 split screen projection.
• PDA wireless projection.
• Conference control.
• Provides session security login, wireless WEP key, and Gatekeeper functions that keep presentation contents secure.
• Magnifier feature enlarges a small video region to playback with full screen.
