Easy Control. Users engage the Pod through an intuitive drag-and-drop user interface. Click and drag any source
to arrange layout, move sources quickly into and out of view, make any post full screen, or pan/zoom a single
source. In the same way, videos can be paused/played through the user interface in a collaborative manner.
Touch Display Support. Connect the Solstice Pod via USB to a touch display to enable direct display-side control
over media sources posted to the display. Using touch, the display becomes a fully-functional interface with all
the same controls over the collaborative session that can be found on the user devices.
Moderator Control and Security Settings. For settings with presenters/instructors, moderator mode allows one or
multiple leaders to accept/reject incoming user connections and preview media posts submitted by guest users
for approval before they appear on the shared display. Moderators can either lead a session in which others are
able to submit media for review, or moderators can present with no content from guest users. Other security
settings include an on-screen key to limit connections from users who are not in line -of-sight, password
protection for access control, and even on-the-fly do-not-disturb that locks a secure meeting once its underway.
Enterprise Display Discovery. The Solstice Pod gets meetings started quickly though a one-click connect interface.
The Pod supports use of the Solstice Directory Service, a TCP/IP-based mechanism that allows client devices to
discover displays on large enterprise networks that do not allow broadcast traffic. With SDS, users are presented
with a simple drop-down list of display names to connect to from their client devices.
Easy Installation. The Pod is compact and easy to deploy behind flat panel displays, above a projector, or on a
tabletop. Connect the HDMI output to a display and the optional analog audio output to a room audio system to
create a Solstice-enabled environment. The Pod connects to existing network infrastructure or can be deployed
as a Collaboration HotSpot using its built-in wireless access point.
Configuration Flexibility. Using any web browser, IT administrators can remotely configure Solstice Pods. The
splash screen can be modified to match corporate branding. The user -experience can be customized to remove
or add features to better suit the variety of rooms throughout an organization. Security options can be set
remotely or left to be defined in the room at runtime. Network configuration options allow traffic to utilize different
ports, limit bandwidth, limit the number of users, and even limit the types of media that can be shared.
