Extron ShareLink 200Extron Electronics has introduced the ShareLink 200 wireless collaboration gateway, designed to enable students and teachers to share content to a central screen from their personal devices. The gateway can help users create a standalone wireless presentation system or to add wireless capabilities to a variety of wired AV presentation designs.

ShareLink 200 supports Windows and OS X computers as well as Apple and Android smartphones and tablets.

The WebShare function enables users to send content over the network to a Web browser on each student’s personal device.

The gateway’s collaboration mode lets any user share materials and control a presentation. In moderator mode, only approved content can be displayed.

ShareLink 200’s other features include the following:

  • an integrated wireless access point; 
  • power over Ethernet; 
  • HDMI and VGA video outputs; and 
  • antennas mounted on the front panel.
