Black Box Corporation (NASDAQ:BBOX), an industry-leading provider of voice communications, data infrastructure, and product solutions, announced that it will be introducing an enhanced version of its popular VGA Wireless Video Presentation System (VPS), one that supports PDA connectivity and 4-to-1 split-screen projection. It also features a “plug-and-show” token for fast setup by meeting participants.
As with the standard AC1130A VPS system, the new Plus version (part #AC1131A) is an 802.11b/g receiver that plugs into any display device with a VGA port, enabling a roomful of laptop users to access a projector or other device from hundreds of feet away. The Plus version, however, works with both PC and Mac® computers, supports communications with mobile PDA devices, and has features to enhance meeting productivity.
The VPS Plus supports Windows® Mobile 5.0 and above systems for Wi-Fi® links to handheld devices, so users can project images from PDA type devices. “No more lugging a laptop along to a meeting,” says Mario Calabro, Black Box Multimedia Products Manager. “To share information through a projector, just log on from your PDA and begin streaming images from wherever you are.”
The VPS Plus is ideal for anyone who wants more conference room collaboration but doesn’t want to run multiple cables to and from a VGA projector. The addition of the plug-and-show token lessens setup time for individual participants. They simply plug the token into their computer’s USB port and, in a matter of seconds, they can be wirelessly projecting their computer screen onto a large overhead screen seen by an entire room or lecture hall.
