Our initial idea is for Solstice on our teaching station PCs, generally one per room (hundreds of them). Then there will likely be other creative uses to be discovered. Works elegantly on LAN/WLAN with nothing unique required of the network, so you can envision all sorts of collaboration configs.

Would certainly be interested to see hear how you go. We are doing 3 rooms with these as a bit of a pilot http://www.mersive.com/products/solstice/ It’s basically software that runs on Windows and allows multiple users and device types to connect and share content. Our most dense room will be 60 users with 8 of these boxes, 2 fixed on wired network and 6 trolleys running wireless. Designed to be flexible small group learning spaces. Lee, I notice you’re looking at Mersive as well, how are you setting yours up? -- Jason Cook The University of Adelaide, AUSTRALIA 5005 Ph : +61 8 8313 4800 e-mail: jason.c...@adelaide.edu.au<mailto:jason.c...@adelaide.edu.au<mailto:jason.c...@adelaide.edu.au%3cmailto:jason.c...@adelaide.edu.au>> From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU] On Behalf Of Hurt,Trenton W.

So it wouldn’t be an individual instructor controlling all 12. It could be anyone of the 180 users in the class all of which either have ipad or iphone or both.

I imagine instructors will at some point expect to be able to mirror a single device to all twelve screens at once, so they all show the same thing, and I don't believe that Apple's AirPlay will work that way. It's my understanding that if they have 12 Apple TVs, they'll need to be running 12 separate iPads/iPhones/Macs to take advantage of those screens. If that's what they want to do, that's one thing... but somehow I don't see it being used that way. It seems much more likely that what they really want is one AppleTV connected to a redistributor that will show a single instructor's iPad across all 12 screen with only one connection, or if you have a good enough controller system, just those screens that the instructor selects. Now, about the wireless actually working... hahahaha, how cute. What you could do is run a network drop for each AppleTV, and make sure the wired network drop gets an address from your wireless range, or is exposed to your wireless range via a bonjour gateway. That would at least take a lot of the traffic out of the rf space.

Either thru native multicast , or the enhancements from the various wifi vendors. Has anyone noticed spectrum issues in dense classrooms? I have a department who is proposing 12 screens with 12 apple tvs in room with 180 seats and I'm can't see how this can work given the crowded spectrum in large seat rooms. Has anyone tried multiple apple tvs in the same room with multiple users mirroring different content simultaneously ?
