Tech evolution of SME presentations Awind wePresent WiPG-1000 and wePresent 920 More than a decade ago, corporate presentations made the leap from overhead transparencies to multimedia-based ones delivered via PC. Now, this mainstay of the corporate arena is evolving once again to keep abreast of technology trends. wind’s wePresent WiPG-1000 (Wireless interactive Presentation Gateway) and wePresent 920 allows users to sever their wired connections by enabling wireless presentations. In addition, your company’s presentations will be brought into the 21st century via these two devices’ numerous features such as split screen projection, HD video streaming and remote desktop accessibility.
A Both the wePresent 920 and the WiPG-1000 come with exciting features, enabling savvy presenters to make their presentations more productive and appealing.
How does a wireless presenter tool work? Both the WiPG-1000 and wePresent 920 act just like a wireless router found within office networks across South Africa. After connecting the device to a large high definition monitor using an HDMI cable, or to the boardroom projector by way of a standard VGA input connector and 3.5 mm audio cable, you can start to stream content from your PC wirelessly to these units. At the same time, users are able to wirelessly share this content with all the presentation participants on their respective notebook PCs or mobile devices in real time. As many as 32 participants are able to connect to a single wePresent device and once connected, they simply download the wePresent software. PC users do this only once by either installing the software using the dongle contained in device’s retail box, or via a browser by going to the address supplied on screen. Those using an iPad, iPhone or Android-powered smartphone or tablet can download Awind’s MobiShow app from Google’s Play store or Apple’s App Store to be able to follow the presentation on their respective devices. By employing the wePresent software, participants can display their part of the presentation, either using one screen at a time or having up to four users showing their content on screen simultaneously via these devices’ 4-to-1 split screen projection feature. A designated presentation facilitator prevents presentation chaos by ordering the flow of information. This moderator uses the device’s conference control mode to select whose content is presented and in what order.
Which one for your office?

Users that only require a device to project and wirelessly share images and audio will be happy with the wePresent 920, which is able to stream high quality (HD-Ready, 720p) video. This video is scaled to XGA (1024 x 768) resolution so it looks fantastic and remains lag-free. The wePresent WiPG-1000 will be at home within SMEs whose offices sport a Wi-Fienabled screen within their meeting room, since the WiPG-1000 supports DoWiFi (Display-over-WiFi), further cutting down on the need for cables. By downloading Awind’s WiFiDoc app, smartphone and tablet users will be able to more actively participate in presentations, as it allows them to send content such as Microsoft PowerPoint, Word, Excel and PDF documents from their devices to the large screen or projector via the WiPG-1000. Beyond DoWiFi, the WiPG-1000 can display content at resolutions up to full HD (1080p) and sports three USB 2.0 ports compared to the wePresent 920’s one. Users connect a USB keyboard and/or mouse to these ports in order to remotely access a too-heavy-to-carry PC that is still within the wePresenter’s operating range.
