Description

This presentation will showcase the new MagniLink AIR system and provide tips on integrating existing MagniLink products into an AIR system. The AIR system is built on the AIR Uno, AIR Duo, and AIR Distance, while the foundation of the AIR system is our Viewer software for Chrome, Mac, PC and iPad. The remote-controlled cameras in the AIR Uno and AIR Duo offer the user 30x optical zoom. These ceiling mounted, wireless, motorized cameras leave the user’s work area free for a computer, books, or papers. The AIR Uno’s single camera can be used alternately as a document and distance camera, while the AIR Duo’s dual cameras are dedicated to either document or distance viewing. The AIR Distance (also 30x optical zoom) is wired and can be mounted on a table or wall. This single camera product, built for distance, is often combined with another LVI camera for documents. Use the MagniLink AIR products as building blocks to create a unique MagniLink AIR system. The AIR cameras can be used individually or grouped. Use existing LVI products, MagniLink PRO, MLS, or Zip, to complete the system. Accessorize the system with TTS/OCR capability and/or a Frame Grabber which wirelessly transmits images from a projector or smartboard to a computer. With the information provided, attendees will understand the value and breadth of the MagniLink AIR products, allowing them to design a system for their environment.
