Re: wireless projection in the classroom

We've been experimenting with wireless display adapters (not wireless
projectors) and the product that best suits our needs is called WePresent,
which is OEM'ed in the US by Black Box and another company called TeqAV-IT
(I'd recommend the former:
http://www.blackbox.com/Store/Detail.aspx/Wireless-Video-Presentation-System-II/AC1131A).


This unit is both PC and Mac compatible and it gives the teacher the ability
to put the unit into "conference control" mode where students can connect
but not display until the teacher selects their laptop from the list of
those connected. The teacher can then instantly switch among any of the
connected laptops' screens. Four screens can be displayed simultaneously as
well.

It's not cheap at $450 a unit, but I haven't seen anything out there that
touches it in terms of functionality.
