Smart Office – How to Transform Traditional Meeting Rooms into Wireless Meeting Rooms? Realize wireless screen mirroring and multi screen interaction to improve office efficiency for enterprises Multi screen interaction and wireless screen mirroring are becoming indispensable functions in daily office meetings for enterprises. Traditional meeting rooms are gradually being transformed into wireless meeting rooms, eliminating the complex and diverse cable interface layouts in traditional meeting rooms. By deploying wireless screen mirroring and multi screen interactive intelligent systems, participants can easily and quickly share meeting content wirelessly, improving the efficiency of enterprise office work.

Before renovating the conference room, we need to clarify our renovation goals and achieve results. Generally, intelligent renovation of conference rooms mainly focuses on the following aspects:

1. Hardware deployment: Deploy multi screen interactive and wireless projection hardware devices. Each conference room needs to independently deploy wireless projection devices, which are connected to televisions or projectors through HDMI cables. Colleagues need to be able to access the enterprise office network through wired/wireless networks;
2. Terminal compatibility: Wireless screen mirroring requires support for various intelligent terminal adaptations, generally requiring compatibility with iOS, Android, Windows, and Mac operating systems for intelligent terminal wireless screen mirroring;
3. System integration: It can integrate wireless screen casting devices with enterprise intelligent office systems, incorporate wireless screen casting systems into the scope of enterprise IT informationization, and provide wireless screen casting SDKs for deep integration and secondary development;
4. Platform management: Enterprise intelligent office needs to achieve overall management of conference rooms, which requires wireless screen projection devices to also support unified management and configuration.
5. Cloud sharing: The wireless screen casting system can support cloud based audio and video sharing, which facilitates remote training and data sharing for enterprises.

Hardware deployment emphasizes the consideration of the functionality and performance of the selected wireless screen casting products, which is the core of conference room renovation. Let’s first analyze our focus on product selection from the perspective of wireless screen casting technology. The current wireless screen casting technology mainly has six branches:

• AirPlay technology: A wireless playback technology launched by Apple, suitable for wireless screen mirroring on iOS and Mac systems.

Advantages: The Apple series devices have built-in functions, which can be used in conjunction with a projector that supports AirPlay server services, resulting in clear and stable effects. The protocol also comes with a built-in projector code function; Disadvantage: It is necessary to ensure that the Apple device and projector are on the same LAN (same network segment) and cannot be used across network segments or VLANs; Having a company responsible for network architecture can be quite cumbersome to use.

• Miracast technology: a wireless display standard developed by the Wi Fi Alliance based on Wi Fi Direct. 3C devices that support this standard can share video footage wirelessly.

Advantages: Android 5.0 and above phones have built-in Miracast protocol, which allows for multi screen interaction without the need to install any software or rely on any network support. Users can directly wirelessly cast screens through the WiFi P2P function between the screen casting device and the receiving device’s WiFi network card; Support synchronous transmission of audio and video. Disadvantages: There are too many and diverse Android devices, and Miracast cannot be fully compatible with all Android devices; There is no screen casting code function for screen casting, which cannot prevent malicious or accidental screen casting.

• WiDi technology: WIDI technology is led by Intel, and WiDi and Miracast are two identical and interconnected protocols that are fully compatible with each other (both based on WiFi Direct technology).

Advantages: Windows 8/10 laptops natively support WiDi, allowing for direct screen mirroring without the need to install any software; Support USB reverse control function; Disadvantage: Does not support Windows XP/7 system, there are some compatibility issues with the product.

• DLNA technology: The DLNA service is push, which can push multimedia on the phone in URL form to the large screen (TV or projector) for playback.

Advantages: Supports streaming media push notifications Disadvantage: Does not support mirroring screen mirroring. DLNAs are mainly used for watching TV and movies in the home market and are not suitable for enterprise applications.

• APP software screen projection technology: By installing a client on the transmitting end (mobile phone or computer), the screen image is pushed to the large screen (TV or projector) for playback.

Advantages: Customizable, integrated, and can provide SDK for enterprise secondary development. At present, some tech giants have developed full system clients for iOS, Android, Mac, and Windows (Bijie is also one of them). It can integrate QR code scanning and screen casting functions, without complex operations. Simply scan the code or enter the screen casting code to quickly cast the screen. Disadvantage: The Android app only supports videos and does not support audio; Basically, they are proprietary protocols independently developed by various manufacturers and cannot be used interchangeably.

• USB hardware screen casting technology: It is actually a derivative of APP software screen casting. Based on APP software screen casting, dedicated hardware is designed to support it, theoretically still APP software screen casting.

Advantages: By using external USB hardware, the quality of audio and video transmission is ensured, and the screen casting process is relatively convenient to use. Disadvantages: Requires external purchase of USB hardware, increases costs; Some enterprises with restrictions on USB interfaces cannot use it; Through the analysis of the screen casting protocol, we found that the main solution that can truly help enterprises form intelligent office system solutions is mainly through APP client screen casting. The wireless screen casting SDK can be integrated into the enterprise’s own software to form an application loop. The client can integrate QR code scanning and screen casting functions, without complex operations. Simply scan the code or enter the screen casting code to quickly cast the screen.

One important feature of enterprise multi screen interaction is the ability to support platform based unified management. If a large enterprise group has hundreds or thousands of conference rooms without a unified management system, it will be a nightmare for IT maintenance personnel. Bijie Conference Box will gradually open up a platform based unified management system to users, which can real-time collect meeting information, network configuration, issue configuration files and change desktop wallpapers uniformly. This function can greatly reduce the workload of IT maintenance personnel and improve the utilization rate of conference rooms through data analysis.

The enterprise multi screen interactive screen casting also has a very practical and convenient feature, although the utilization rate may not be high, which is the cloud screen casting sharing function. How to share the same screen and conduct unified topic discussions when employees are on business trips or working in remote conference rooms is a common problem encountered in enterprise office scenarios. The Bijie Multimedia Collaboration System will launch a cloud based screen mirroring and sharing function. With the help of cloud video servers, it is possible to share your phone and PC screens with remote conference rooms through cloud based distribution, achieving cloud sharing and communication.

The enterprise level multimedia collaboration system launched by Bijie Network – BJ60S, BJ66, BJ80, Enterprise Micro Edition Multimedia Collaboration XT System – is a leader in this emerging field. It is independently developed and designed by Bijie Network, and comes with iOS, Android, Mac, Windows full system clients and SDK development packages, which can fully meet the requirements of transforming traditional conference rooms into intelligent conference rooms and provide comprehensive one-stop software and hardware services. The multi screen interaction and wireless screen casting software solutions of Bijie’s multimedia collaboration system are independently developed and can provide supporting wireless screen casting SDK development toolkits, including transmitter SDK and receiver SDK. They are compatible with Miracast, Airplay, Widi, BJCast (self-developed) screen casting protocols, support multiple wireless screen casting display modes, and can be adapted to Windows, Mac OS, Android, iOS, and Linux platforms, making it convenient for third-party partners to call and integrate.
