Product News, Customer Stories and Updates from Rise Vision

The 9 best wireless presentation systems.

June 03 2021

Wireless presentation tools are loved in business settings for making meetings faster and more informative. In education, though, they’re truly transformative, moving teachers away from the whiteboard and giving students more input and control. Even quite simple systems can make lessons vastly more efficient, which is why they’re gradually finding their way into more and more schools and higher education institutions. But they often leave the screen blank when no one’s actually presenting; a missed opportunity. Rise Vision has developed a solution, in the form of a fully device-agnostic web player that can display your Rise Vision signage and alerts when you’re not presenting.

The Rise Vision web player

Rise Vision’s new web player works app-free across any wireless presentation system , allowing a school or university to use its Rise Vision content library as the default display across all its screens. Those displays can show content specific to the location, time of year or time of day — defaulting to lab safety messages in the chem building, for instance. And they can draw on a growing education-specific library of over 425 templates to build appropriate content for their students, then control them centrally from their Rise Vision dashboard. Rise Vision web player is fully device-agnostic, app-free and works with these wireless presentation tools — and many others. We’ll start with our favorite (and partner), Airtame.

What is Airtame?

Airtame is a hardware device for wireless screen sharing. Hook it up to screens or projectors and connect to your local network wirelessly or by ethernet, and you and your guests will be able to present. It’s centrally managed remotely, so one IT person can control the whole system from their laptop wherever they are. Airtame works with any device and operating system, and when screens aren’t being used for presentations, they can be used for digital signage.

How does Airtame work with Rise Vision web player?

When those screens are in digital signage mode, in between presentations, you can use Rise Vision’s dynamic digital signage and alerts. Airtame users get access to Rise Vision’s content thanks to a partnership between the two companies. ‘Partnering with Rise Vision will help us leverage their extensive library of professional content. The combination of the Airtame Cloud platform – supported by our display hardware – and Rise Vision’s digital signage templates will enable effective communication within schools. We believe the school community can achieve a lot more through this collaboration,’ says Orri Gudmundsson, Chief Commercial Officer, Airtame.

Standout features:

Airtame’s most impressive features include:

Device-agnostic screen sharing via the Airtame app, Miracast, Google Cast, and Airplay. Use any device, including emergency substitutes.

Support for touchback via Miracast from Windows and Android devices, when connected to an Interactive Flat Panel.

The Airtame 2 is $399, with a 30-day free trial. There’s also the $119 Airtame PoE adapter that both powers your Airtame and connects it to your Ethernet. Airtame Cloud licenses give you access to enhanced capabilities for your Airtame 2. Here’s how they’re priced:

The bottom line

We love Airtame — that’s why we chose to partner with them. In the words of our Head of Revenue, Shea Darlison, ‘we’re thrilled to partner with Airtame to help schools get the most out of their investment in classroom displays .’ Schools can get 50% off the first year’s cost for each Rise Vision license they buy to use with an Airtame Cloud license. This offer is open for all Airtame Cloud licenses purchased by K-12 and higher education institutions from May 1st, 2021 until August 31st, 2021. Claim yours by contacting Airtame or your local resellers to purchase your Airtame Cloud license . Then go to https://www.risevision.com/airtame to submit the proof of purchase and receive the discounted Rise Vision licenses.

2. AirSquirrels / AirSquirrels Ditto What is AirSquirrels?

AirSquirrels comes in three parts: Ditto is a device-agnostic screen-mirroring and digital signage tool. Reflector 4 is AirPlay, Google Cast and Miracast receiver software. And AirParrot is advanced mirroring and screen sharing for Mac and PC.

Ditto lets you take any screen and turn it into a wireless meeting collaboration tool. What it doesn’t do is play well with others. You can’t use Rise Vision or any other third-party player through AirSquirrels Ditto, and you can’t play web content through it. Its inbuilt signage lacks support for full-size videos, templates and scheduling, so it’s also very static.

How does AirSquirrels work?

AirSquirrels offers both screen sharing and collaboration, and digital signage. The tools AirSquirrel offers are more oriented to the enterprise than Rise Vision, and take less account of schools’ requirements.

Ditto offers its users:

Cross-platform wireless screen mirroring from iPhones, Macs, Android devices, Chromebooks and Windows devices

Device agnostic single-app screen mirroring lets you cast just a particular application to public screens

Ditto is priced at $150 per receiver per year or $15.99 per month per receiver.

Ditto is a solid solution if you’re looking for an all-in-one tool that covers most of the bases of a dedicated screen-casting tool and a dedicated digital signage tool.

3. Mersive Solstice What is Mersive Solstice?

Solstice is a meeting collaboration tool, built for local and remote teams. It lets users share content to room displays nearby and to remote locations using any of several major video conferencing services. Software-based and cloud-enabled, Solstice lets you start sharing your screen in just a few seconds.

How does Mersive Solstice work with Rise Vision web player?

Solstice already controls screens to facilitate sharing and collaboration, so it makes sense that they also offer digital signage. There’s native digital signage built-in, and partnerships with multiple digital signage companies. Rise Vision users can use the Rise Vision web player just the way you would with any other presentation tool to run digital signage from your Rise Vision dashboard to screens controlled by Solstice.

Solstice brings its users:

Uniquely easy to present in other locations. When they say, ‘make any room a Zoom,’ they’re not kidding

Device-agnostic content sharing via the Solstice app, AirPlay, Miracast, a web browser, or the HDMI-in port

Mersive Solstice pricing is custom via their sales team.

Mersive Solstice is a winner for large, distributed organizations, or ones that need collaboration tools for a network of partners. But for smaller organizations, it’s overpowered.

4. ScreenBeam What is ScreenBeam?

ScreenBeam is an app-free, contactless wireless presentation tool that integrates quickly and easily into any meeting space or Unified Communication system. Unusually for the niche, ScreenBeam deliberately eschews all applications and contact points — dongles, boxes and so forth — to allow standards-based wireless connections from any device. Only the ScreenBeam wireless receiver is required.

How does ScreenBeam work with Rise Vision web player?

ScreenBeam can display static digital signage or you can push digital signage to it from another source. The Rise Vision web player can function as a source, allowing the two systems to connect seamlessly.

ScreenBeam lets you:

Pipe apps up to the big screen easily. Everything from Skype for the Classroom to OneNote and FluidMath can be moved onto the main screen to allow collaboration and teaching

Do native screen mirroring without downloading or installing an app at all.

ScreenBeam pricing is custom , via their sales team.

ScreenBeam is one of the most powerful and versatile tools for K-12 and higher education institutions, as well as businesses, to facilitate collaboration. Its app-less functionality makes using it uniquely quick and easy to connect to.

5. ViewSonic

What is viewsonic.

ViewSonic offers a range of visual tools, from high-end gaming monitors to large-venue projectors. But one of its areas of focus is wireless presentations in schools. For this, ViewSonic has the ViewSync receiver, allowing rapid wireless connectivity to a range of screens from laptops, tablets, and smartphones.

How does ViewSonic work with RiseVision web player?

ViewSonic offers presentation via a receiver with a USB backchannel that lets the host annotate what’s displayed on the screen and assume full mouse and keyboard control. It’s built for presentations in a lecture, meeting or classroom environment, but can also be used as a digital signage receiver when not presenting. Rise Vision’s web player can play your Rise Vision signage playlists and alerts through your ViewSonic receiver.

ViewSonic’s ViewSync 3 receiver is $39.99 . To use it, you’ll also need the ViewMirroring Android app or the ViewMedia Android/iOS app.

ViewSonic is a great choice if you have a relatively small number of screens and you want a versatile, plug-and-play presentation solution; paired with Rise Vision’s web player and digital signage dashboard, you’ll get everything you need to run a full suite of presentations, signage and alerts.

6. Barco WePresent What is WePresent?

WePresent is a simple, fully configurable app-based presentation toolkit designed specifically for BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) environments, and can be optimized for the needs of schools, businesses, government and universities.

How does WePresent work?

WePresent relies on its MirrorOp app plus a three-device suite of boxes, designed to suit different needs (see Pricing for details). When you use WePresent, students and teachers can connect to the WePresent box from any device. You can share multiple device screens on one screen, and teachers can preview student content, set polls and quizzes, and ask silent questions through the WePresent system too.

Unfortunately, Barco doesn’t work with Rise Vision’s web player or most other third-party players, meaning you’re stuck with the Barco feature set — admittedly impressive, but incomplete.

Standout features

WePresent comes with:

Support for native Airplay and Chromecast

BYOD-friendly with teacher controls to manage, annotate, queue and share content from students

MirrorOp is free to download for Mac, Windows, Android, iOS and Chromebook. There are three hardware options:

Not available in Canada, Mexico or the United States

Entry-level

64 simultaneous connections

Airplay support

Fixed screen layout (up to 4)

On-screen moderation

Central management

Available globally

All features available with WiPG-1000, plus smart upgrades

Whiteboard and annotation features

1-to-many distribution (up to 4)

Video streaming

USB document/content player

All features of WiPG-1600W, plus upgrades

Dynamic screen layout (up to 4)

On-screen user preview and moderation

Education pack with student monitor

Eco standby mode

Pricing for all WePresent hardware is custom through the Barco sales team.

WePresent is a full-featured presentation system that works great for schools and universities. It’s the kind of tool that’s likely to get bought at the school or district rather than department or classroom level, but it’s well-supported and effective for teaching and learning. It also plays great with your existing Rise Vision library of signage and alerts.

7. WolfVision

What is wolfvision.

WolfVision provides wireless presentation tools as part of a suite of business and education tools that includes visualizers, document cameras and more, all aimed at tying together the classroom and digital environments. At its most advanced the WolfVision suite includes onscreen multisource annotations, multiscreen sharing, and drag and drop distribution across student screens. Presentation is just a part of this.

How does WolfVision work?

WolfVision’s suite of tools includes a range of receivers able to do duty as presentation receivers and multi-app remote meeting tools, collaboration solutions and more.

However, WolfVision has no built-in digital signage solution. They allow digital signage providers access to their tool through their API, but not directly, so it doesn’t work with the Rise Vision web player.

WolfVision is distinguished by:

App-free, dongle-free, wireless sharing and presentation via its Cynap range of receivers

Easy configuration, but endless customization via powerful API access

WolfVision’s pricing is custom via their sales team, though their tools are also sold by authorized resellers .

8. Startech

What is the startech wifi2hdvga.

Startech’s WIFI2HDVGA is a simple, effective tool for sharing from Windows and Mac computers and laptops to big screens.

How does the Startech WIFI2HDVGA work?

Startech’s simple presentation and collaboration tool is one of the most lightweight solutions on this list. But that’s its appeal. If you need something that will plug and play into whatever system you’re currently using, Startech has you covered. What it doesn’t have, as most presentation tools don’t, is native digital signage. Rise Vision has you covered there, with scheduled signage playlists and real time alerts — but Startech isn’t compatible with third-party players, so if you choose the stripped-down approach your options are limited.

Startech delivers:

Quick, efficient screen sharing switching between computers

Wireless display mode that lets users mirror any screencast-enabled device app-free

Startech’s pricing is transparent: each unit is $185.99 USD, and is also available from a reseller network .

9. Polycom Pano

What is the polycom pano.

The Pano is part of Polycom’s wider collaboration and presentation ecosystem, allowing users to connect any device and present up to four screens simultaneously. You can annotate in real-time and connect to virtually any display through a standard HDMI output, or select touch displays for a fully interactive experience.

How does the Polycom Pano work?

Pano is a powerful collaboration tool, especially when it’s embedded in the wider Polycom ecosystem. But its focus is the meeting, the presentation, the huddle — not the times in between. It lacks digital signage functionality, and isn’t compatible with third-party players.

Pano gives users:

Device-agnostic access, though with relatively poor support for Linux

Security-conscious design including secure boot and encrypted content

Polycom’s Pano is best used as part of a wider strategic investment, and it’s one that’s better suited to businesses than to education. Pano’s pricing is custom through the Polycom sales team.

Looking for a Mersive Solstice Pod Alternative?

Mersive Solstice is one of the most popular wireless presentation systems designed to leverage corporate network infrastructures by using Wi-Fi to share a display. But with more than 40 alternative solutions on the market, which one could be better for your huddle spaces and collaboration rooms?

The Mersive Solstice Pod of the title is a receiver that attaches to a network and a display, while the proprietary Solstice app runs on the presenter's computer to enable them to connect to the Pod. We will look at popular models sold worldwide that compare with Mersive Solstice offerings at a similar price point and how they stack up on these questions: 

Is it easy to set up?

Can visitors use them, what types of devices are supported.

• Conclusion – which one is right for you? [Table]

Mersive Solstice Pod

The Mersive Solstice Pod connects to both the network and the display and is designed for use with an organization’s network. Since the Solstice Pod’s live video streaming frame rate is dependent on the host network, there are minimum performance and baseline security standards for smooth video at 30 frames per second. For a typical organizational installation, the network must be configured to open the firewall to half a dozen URLs, and over 30 different network ports. You will also need to consider how much bandwidth is available, as Mersive recommends 50Mbps per receiver to ensure consistent performance, which is one of the highest of all network-based systems. 

Mersive recommends you set up an account on their cloud server, followed by nine steps to configure the receiver, including setting up security profiles. Once the network is prepared, apps need to be deployed to the organization and set up on user notebooks. The Mersive app is only available for Windows, Mac, and Android, so if your company uses any Chromebooks, and those must access the system through a browser.

BenQ InstaShow

According to Projector Review , “BenQ InstaShow is a great wireless presentation system. Out of the box, it is as simple as you need it to be. You can have it hooked up in moments and be presenting seconds later.” Projector Central  pointed out that InstaShow's combination of video quality with ease of setup and use is nothing short of amazing. All BenQ models come with two buttons and a tabletop button holder. The more advanced InstaShow WDC20 and WDC30 work with mobile devices and support up to 4K resolution.

Barco Clickshare C-10

The  Barco Clickshare  platform uses a button system similar to BenQ InstaShow, but typically requires the Clickshare App to be loaded on the presenter's computer, and requires admin rights to access.

Mersive Solstice Pod typically requires a proprietary application running on the computer to connect to the receiver. The system only supports Windows and Mac computers, as well as Android and iOS mobile devices. There is no Chromebook support, and while only the more expensive models have wired HDMI input, they do not support HDCP, which is required for most media players, TVs, streaming boxes, and other HDMI devices that play copy-protected media. These sources would need a separate system to connect to the display to share any copy-protected content.

BenQ InstaShow uses standard HDMI or USB-C buttons that work with Windows, Mac, and even Chromebooks. But because it doesn’t require any software and supports HDCP, InstaShow can also connect to hundreds of types of HDMI devices-based such as document cameras, digital media players, and even gaming consoles. For  laboratory and engineering work , InstaShow connects to development boards such as Raspberry Pi and industrial equipment that outputs standard HDMI signals, such as spectrum analyzers.

For mobile devices and tablets, InstaShow connects using an HDMI or USB-C button connection, while InstaShow WDC20 and WDC30 also support streaming from mobile devices via Airplay, Miracast, or the InstaShare app loaded on iOS or Android phones and tablets.

Typically, the Clickshare application must be running on the device to connect to the Clickshare receiver. The Clickshare platform offers applications for Windows and Mac OS computers, as well as iOS and Android mobile devices. There is no support for Chromebook or other Linux development boards, such as a Beagle Board. There is also currently no support for devices such as Blu-ray players or document cameras.

For an employee or visitor to access a Solstice Pod, they must log onto the same network that is hosting the Solstice Pod and also have the Solstice app running on their system. For visitors to obtain the app, they will either need to download the app from the Mersive website or log in to the Solstice Pod via the organization’s network. Once connected to the unit, they need to enter their IP address, which then enables them to install the Solstice app on their notebook.

This can present a challenge to certain visitors since many organizations “lock down” their notebooks from running external third-party software to protect from malware and may require IT support and approval for any application to be installed. Also, the Mersive Solstice does not support Chromebooks, so companies and schools that use Chromebooks may need to look for other alternatives.

InstaShow does not require any software applications or network connections for employees and visitors. All is needed is to simply plug in a button and start presenting in seconds. InstaShow is ideal for collaboration rooms, saving both time and money, especially in time-sensitive operations such as law firms. For IT staff, there is no deployment to manage, and visitors with "locked down" computers can connect without having to run extra software or download apps. InstaShow’s industry-standard HDMI and USB-C connections plug into notebooks, mobile phones, and tablets such as iPad Pro and Chromebook.

The Clickshare receiver requires companies to open various network ports in order to work, which may create security flaws. A visitor with a "locked down" computer may not be able to download the ClickShare application onto their devices for security reasons. 

Conclusion - which one is right for you?

The subscription-free BenQ InstaShow has become one of the top-selling Mersive Solstice alternatives because it uses simple and intuitive button architecture like Barco Clickshare while eliminating the hassle of downloading applications and having to connect to a local network to present.

For huddle rooms and collaboration workspaces, the plug-and-play approach of InstaShow keeps your meeting focused on topic without having to learn how to use new apps or log in to a protected network. The ability to connect to Chromebooks and other types of devices also makes a significant difference in effective communication using cameras, media players, and even development boards.

A Tradition of  Light

Hi, I'm Christine McGreevy

the founder of  The Solstice Circle...

an intentional family tradition

that grows gratitude,

generates deep listening,

and nourishes meaningful connections 

  I'm on a mission  

  to help families of all ages, shapes, and sizes 

create a deliberate, slow, safe, ongoing practice 

that welcomes sharing our hearts, out loud...

narrating the rich territory beneath the surface of our busy lives .  

  Here's the surprising truth:  

even though families live together, nurturing our relationships, on purpose

is so far down the list of daily tasks that it's routinely overlooked.

The Solstice Circle provides a simple, accessible roadmap

that leads us back to each other.

by decorating  candles, then   we step into an even deeper place together.

In the darkened house on the longest night

when we say:

Thank you for...

I’m proud of  you because... 

I appreciate the way you... 

I’m grateful for...

I love you because...

We become the light for each other.

Does talking about feelings with your family seem impossible ?

Have you been taught that focusing on feelings is dangerous?

I used to believe  emotions were off-limits too.

Then over thirty years ago, I stepped beyond that cultural caution tape.

Yep, it was scary at first. But I was curious, so I pulled my young family along with me. 

After our first wobbly, brave steps, we just kept returning every winter solstice to practice.

Are you longing for meaningful connections with your people?

But spending all your time on everything else?

The Solstice Circle is your Solution

After 35 years  I  know for sure :

Solstice is not just a concept or a lengthy list of nice ideas.

It's a tangible, do-able , step-by-step tradition of closeness.

I envision handmade  Solstice candles in countless homes across the world

 illuminating an ever-growing circle of  courageous, open hearts.

Join us and step into the circle this December.

Thank You for Joining the Circle!
