We have also gone through this process, Barco, Solstice and Wolfvision. Solstice just wasn't mature enough when we looked at it. Barco, we were with them from very early on in the development cycle right through to the maturity they have now. Their software though it has some innovative features isn't that nice to use, though I know their virtual classroom software is being used very successfully in a couple of Spanish Uni's On the network side, their NRC200's are rock solid, their NRC100's not so much... Wolfvision have impressed us, rock solid on the network, and their software seems (to me) to be head and shoulders above anything else I have seen.

We use Solstice and Crestron AirMedia in most places, but people in one off locations scoff at the $1000 price. Ditto sounds like an idea worth trying for the customers who already bought Apple TVs thinking they would work like at home. Thanks, Joseph B.

The $1K price per box was worth it to us for the development time put in to keeping their solution working on all clients. We wire them into ethernet and disable the wireless adapters. This allows us to use our own 802.1x wireless ssid and connect to them over our enterprise network. There were other solutions.. AirTame doesn't do iOS mirroring yet, etc .. Mersive is the most complete. From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> on behalf of "Curtis K.

Most Apple TVs purchased in the last few years can use bluetooth for discovery instead of the network, but failing that Airtame is a decent option. https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fairtame.com&data=02%7C01%7Cjdh132%40psu.edu%7C41d62ddf93034933388808d5d6bd3e5f%7C7cf48d453ddb4389a9c1c115526eb52e%7C0%7C0%7C636651030667204159&sdata=1rkFpMuanOUappNc%2FdXH2g4i1QQJcYbr3fD1waDn%2BE8%3D&reserved=0 Thanks, -- Curtis K.
