1 Introduction
This document introduces the operating method of the MeetUs meeting room display system to help users get
started with the system quickly.
The MeetUs system brings the brand-new large-screen visual experience to the meeting room. It can
wirelessly mirror the screen of the speaker's smart terminal, whether Windows, macOS, iOS or Android, to the
meeting room display in real time without complex cable connections. For different meeting applications, the
MeetUs system also provides 4 modes to let the document presentation, video playback and remote meetings
have the optimal display effect.
Working with the specified models of NovaStar receiving cards, the MeetUs system can enable the fine-pitch
indoor LED display to have outstanding grayscale and color performance. Thanks to the functions of quickly
mirroring up to 4 devices to the LED display and quickly switching the mirrored screens, the MeetUs system
meets all the meeting applications and can be mainly used in various business meeting applications in
governments and companies in many industries, such as design, health care and education.
