BYOD content sharing has become prevalent in hybrid meeting rooms as we see more corporate workplaces requiring locations for quick discussion, brainstorming, and rapid sharing of presentations,” said Christian Young, Pro AV product manager, ATEN Technology, Inc. Our PresentON solutions allow anyone to share BYOD presentation content wirelessly with ATEN software on PC, mobile app, and web browsers, thereby increasing workflows, efficiency and cross-departmental collaboration.”

Education use case

Wireless sharing for education is in high demand, and blended classrooms and learning have led to multiple displays being installed in classrooms, allowing learners to study at their own pace, replacing the model where a teacher stands in front of the classroom, and everyone learns at the same pace. ATEN’s wireless presentation switches transform this situation, allowing the presenter to simply control and manage the content shared by other participants, including muting, stopping all sharing, and disconnecting a participant. Furthermore, it supports multi-view presentation so screen layouts can be configurable for presentation in full screen, side-by-side, and even quad view (VP2021). The 4K wireless presentation switch can integrate with a classroom’s audio system to enhance the audio-visual experience with 3.5 mm audio output and eliminate complicated wiring, offering flexibility in space deployment and speedy installation with PoE connectivity.
