1 Introduction

Welcome to VIA Collage!

VIA Collage is Kramer’s unique, powerful wireless presentation and collaboration

hub. It converts any display at any location into an interactive meeting point, and it

works with a wide range of presentation devices from desktop and notebook

computers to tablets and smartphones.

Each participant in a VIA Collage session can quickly view, edit, annotate,

comment, and share content with other participants. Participants can share their

ideas through the primary screen, or break off with others into smaller groups

during a meeting.

The VIA Collage integrates seamlessly with any organization’s current IT

infrastructure, converting any projector or screen into a networked device that

users can share and view on their current devices. Every local connection to VIA

Collage is wireless, free of dongles, cables, and other compatibility peripherals.

Key features of VIA Collage:

Login using conventional Wi-Fi or LAN connections, no dongle needed

Provides true HD 1080p/60 video streaming

Supports Windows laptops and MAC®, as well as iOS and Android mobile

operating systems

Compatible with all common Web browsers

Up to 255 users can be logged in simultaneously

Up to 12 participant screens can be displayed simultaneously on dual

screens (six on each screen).

Supports popular third-party conferencing programs

Touchscreen compatible with whiteboard and full annotation controls

VIA Collage - Introduction

1.1 Applications & Features

Present, share, chat, send and receive files, hold sidebar conversations, annotate,

edit, and save copies of all your work, just as you would with a whiteboard or flip

chart…except that you can do it all from your notebook computer, tablet, and

smartphone.

Here are just a few of the things you can do with VIA Collage:

Up to six different participant screens can be shown at the same time. VIA

Collage automatically sizes each screen to the maximum available resolution,

displaying tiles for two or more screens. Finished sharing? Tap Step-out to

disconnect.

Chat and Share a file: Need to ask a meeting participant a question? Click on their

screen name and send them a text message with complete privacy. Windows and

Mac PC users can also share files between themselves or the main presenter, all

at the click of a mouse.

Control a participant’s computer: Need to access files or play back a presentation

from a participant’s PC? Simply click Enable Control on the PC, and its cursor can

be controlled remotely to launch programs and play media.

Multimedia: Sometimes it’s just easier to explain your ideas with a video. Simply

click the Multimedia tab on your device’s screen and you can load and display

JPEG images (all operating systems) and play MP4 videos (Windows and Mac

PCs and iOS devices only). You can also display and share PDFs from any

logged-in device.
