Simple and Easy User Experience Making presentation has never been easier with Wireless Presentation Gateway! For first time use, you only need to do simple configurations on the main system but don’t need to install any driver or software on your personal computer. After that, all you need to do is turning on the power and you will be ready-to-present immediately. Moreover, you barely need to learn any new software operations. Simply use your familiar Windows Explore to activate the functions. Project screens of remote computers Unlike conventional network projectors that can only support static image files, Wireless Presentation Gateway offers fully live demo function by simultaneously displaying and controlling remote computers over network. When presenters want to demonstrate the functions of a software, an OS, or even some Internet browsing, there are no needs to install everything on a new computer or lug the remote computers to the conference room. Operated by a remote controller Wireless Presentation Gateway can be operated by a hand-held remote controller. Most of the controls of the system are duplicated on the hotkeys of the controller. In addition, it is supplied with mouse functions that allows the remote control to act like a mouse. This means that you can control presentations just like sitting in front of a PC. To facilitate presenters, a head-mounted laser beam pointer is also built-in. Application Scheme Wireless, Instant Screen Projection Wireless Presentation Gateway comes with wireless LAN capability. With it, you can project the screen of your notebook computer without physically connecting to a projector by a burdensome VGA cable. Thus, you no longer have to worry about passing the signal cable from presenter to presenter.
