Vivitek announced the launch of the NC-X500, a wireless presentation box aimed at UCC and educational applications. The company says the NC-X500 supports high-resolution (4K) mirroring of videos, photos and documents and is a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) solution with a built-in NovoConnect wireless presentation and collaboration system. According to the company, the NC-X500 supports connections from up to 64 participants and enables up to four to share their screens simultaneously.

Using the same USB-based LauncherPlus that all the NovoConnect products do, Vivitek says users connect it to any laptop or tablet with a USB port and get screen mirroring. Also integrated with Bring Your Own Meeting (BYOM) functionality, the NC-X500 allows users to wirelessly link their computers to UCC and AV devices such as cameras, microphones and speakers to drive Zoom, MS Teams and Google Meet meetings. Vivitek says the NC-X500 enables screen duplication over the corporate network so that the main screen can be duplicated across different rooms.

A text-string-based control system, with an option to use AES-256 encryption, ensures secure connectivity on the network. The NC-X500 supports SysControl, a function that sees device control commands sent over the network. Typical commands include standby, wakeup, setting audio volume and switching video sources. According to Vivitek, the NC-X500 offers a comprehensive cloud-based device management system, providing a dashboard, device snapshot and remote control capabilities. Features include firmware updates, remote assist for viewing and clicking on the device screen in the cloud and managing devices by group. The company says this cloud-based system enhances the ease of managing and maintaining the NC-X500, “ensuring optimal performance and functionality.”

The NC-X500 is available now for £499.00 ($799 US) and is here: www.vivitek.eu
