If you are looking for a wireless screen mirroring system that connects to practically everything, then look no further than InstaShow.

This article explains in more detail how to connect to a TV or projector with InstaShow.

What is InstaShow WDC-20 and WDC-30 ?

InstaShow is a wireless presentation system that allows you to wirelessly connect to a display in a meeting room or classroom to mirror your content to a TV or projector. It eliminates the need for cables and saves precious time during meetings.

 


One of the biggest advantages of InstaShow WDC20 and WDC30 is that they are able to work with laptops through a simple HDMI transmitter button, as well as mobile devices using built-in screen mirroring such as Apple’s AirPlay or Miracast. Because the systems don’t require any apps and use standard connections, you can connect them to practically any device that outputs HDMI signals, such as digital cameras, microscopes, and even industrial equipment like spectrum analyzers by plugging in an InstaShow button and tapping to wirelessly share your content to a TV or projector.

 


InstaShow is incredibly easy to set up thanks to the intuitive design and super easy setup and maintenance. As pointed out by Tech Decisions, “The employees don’t consider themselves a techie crew, the instructions were straightforward. It’s really easy to use once you walk into a meeting. It’s pretty much plug-and-play”.
