MARGI Systems Brings Wireless Functionality to New Line of HP Digital Projectors
Posted by Jason Dunn in "NEWS" @ 10:16 AM
"MARGI Systems, the leading provider of mobile presentation solutions, today announced its Wireless Presenter-to-Go technology has been incorporated into the new HP Digital Projector mp3130. This collaboration marks the expansion of a licensing agreement between MARGI and HP, which was announced in June 2003 and focused on the incorporation of MARGI's wireless technology in HP's line of digital conference room projectors.
MARGI's Wireless Presenter-to-Go is a complete hardware and software solution designed for licensing by projector, notebook computer and handheld manufacturers to enable wireless delivery of presentations to projectors. The technology enables users to conduct high-quality presentations wirelessly via any 802.11b-enabled notebook, tablet PC or handheld device, and provides organizations of all types another avenue for maximizing their investment in wireless devices."
I have to admit that I still don't quite understand how this all works. If these new projectors use Wi-Fi, and the Pocket PC has Wi-Fi, what's MARGI's role in all this? A VGA translation layer? Software only? I keep reading these press releases, but MARGI's site doesn't seem to have any detail on exactly what their solution is and how it works. Anyone have the inside track?
