Prince Technologies deploys Crestron AirMedia systems to allow presenters to connect their devices wirelessly for presentation via Crestron's AirMedia system. Crestron AirMedia will allow presenters to share content wirelessly from any laptop, tablet or smart phone that uses a Windows or Mac operating system and is on the wireless network. Newer model AirMedias have two network ports allowing presenters to be on the private or public wireless network without compromising network security.
To connect to your AirMedia device, select your device and follow the steps below.
