2-1. Features
Z-1 is specialized for small to medium sized conference rooms, and shares presentations from not only
PC but also tablets and smartphones over a wireless LAN.
Wireless LAN standards IEEE802.11n/a/b/g/ac
• The wireless features support Access Point (AP) mode and Station (STA) mode.
• 802.1X authentication is supported for oce networks.
Multiple OS (Windows, Android, iOS, macOS, Chrome OS)
• The special projection utility "AMC Meeting" allows the user to mirror Windows and transmit
audio. This utility does not require installation or the administrator authority.
• AirPlay, one of iOS and macOS standard functions, is supported for mirroring and audio
transmission.
• Google Cast is supported for standard mirroring and audio transmission from Android OS.
Various projection modes
• Single Presenter mode shows a presentation sent by one user in full screen.
• Multi-Presenter mode can split the screen up to 4. (Only one of the screens can play videos, and it
can be switched with a drag-drop action.)
• Distribution mode sends the projected screen to up to 16 devices.
• Pair Display mode enables two units of Z-1 to send their screens each other to display them
together.
Device server function exclusive to HID (keyboard & mouse)
• The user can draw images on the projected screen with a USB mouse connected to Z-1. Since Z-1
enables drawing when the image is not projected, Z-1 can be used as an interactive whiteboard.
• When a USB mouse and a USB keyboard are connected to Z-1 via a USB hub, Z-1's basic settings
can be updated on the OSD.
Comprehensive management software: AMC Manager® Free (free license) & AMC Manager®
(non-free license)
• AMC Manager® allows the user to remotely operate and monitor Z-1, change the settings, assign
IP addresses, and upgrade the rmware for multiple Z-1 units at once.
