  • An Intel OPS slot-in PC running Windows 10, which lets users to run business applications during the collaboration process; and
  • A passive stylus pen (it works by being in contact with the screen).

Using the Mosaic software, the setup enables display-to-display connections as well as display-to-device and device-to-display interaction. Users can communicate with each other via video and share whiteboard content with connecting mobile devices for wireless transmission to the shared whiteboard.

The system is available now with 55-inch, 75-inch and 86-inch screen sizes. A 65-inch format will be available early in 2019. For more information, go to the NEC site.
