Wireless Presentation
The supported wireless presentation receiver in central classrooms is the Kramer VIA. Kramer VIA works with an application on the presenter's laptop, tablet, or smartphone to present on the classroom presentation display without the use of a cable. This allows the presenter to freely move about the room while displaying the content from their portable device.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This resource is available only for in-room instruction. It is not available to the Zoom application on the computer.
