vCastSender

ViewBoard® Cast software is designed for wireless presentations and wireless collaboration.

Key Features

● Working with ViewBoard® Cast software, the vCastSender app will allow you to not only stream live recordings and annotate but also share your screen, photos, videos, music, annotations, documents, and camera directly onto ViewSonic® ViewBoard® Interactive Flat Panels and other mobile devices.

● Presenters can control displayed content from a phone, tablet or laptop while Android and iOS device users are able to use vCastSender’s specialized annotation toolbar as well as enjoy controlling the ViewBoard® remotely.

● Whether in class or in a meeting, the vCastSender app makes teaching and group discussion quick and easy.
