Product Overview

Moblized, Cable-less Presentation

Wireless Presentation Gateway brings you to a whole new stage of making presentations! No
matter you are bringing along a wireless LAN PC or transporting presentations through wired LAN,
Wireless Presentation Gateway allows you to deliver presentations without inserting cables. It will

save the time and hassle on system setups and adjustments in every meeting. It also eliminates
the occasional embarrassments caused by failed links between projectors and computers.

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. As Wireless Presentation Gateway provides gateway services, many computers can
connect to it wirelessly at the same time.

Remote Display and Control

Wireless Presentation Gateway is also equipped with an RJ-45 Ethernet interface. It can be easily
connected to your corporate network. By using its well-design remote display function, you can
project the screens of remote computers from the conference room. The projected screen can be
switched among different remote computers freely.

Immediate, PC-less Presentation

With built-in image viewer and internal storage, Wireless Presentation Gateway eliminates the
need to have a PC in the same room as the projector. All you need to do is preloading the
presentation images into the system in advance, and then you can deliver PC-less presentation
during the meeting. The viewer accepts JPEG, GIF, BMP and PNG file format.

Chapter 2: Installation

Introduction

Wireless Presentation Gateway provides the following convenient ways for you to deliver
presentations:

1. Slide Show: User can pre-load presentation files to the system before a meeting, and then
give presentations through data projector without bringing along a laptop computer.

2. Remote Display: The concept of remote display is very similar to that of the popular print
server. While print server provides networked printing services, Wireless Presentation
Gateway enables users to directly project the screens of remote computers through network.

3. Wireless Instant Display: In addition, Wireless Presentation Gateway comes with wireless
LAN (WLAN) networking capability. If you are using a computer with WLAN module,
Wireless Presentation Gateway can instantly project the screen of your computer without
physically connecting to a projector by a burdensome VGA cable.

On this section, we will introduce how to do the basic configurations before you want to use "slide
show" and "remote display" functions. This is a one time only procedure. After that, all you need to
do is turning on the power and the system will function normally.
