ViewSonic AirSync
ViewSonic AirSync mirrors a device screen wirelessly to ViewSonic displays through a sender app or web browser. It supports AirPlay, Google Cast, Miracast, and AirSync Sender screen sharing. Hosts can moderate requests, while multiple presenters can share screens at once; capacity varies by IFP model from four to six. Display Grouping can broadcast one display to as many as 10 ViewSonic screens on the same local network segment. AirSync supports LAN and internet connections, but Web Sender is limited to internet connections and lacks touch feedback, incoming IFP screens, pen strokes, and high-quality sharing. The Sender app offers touchback from compatible ViewBoard displays on Windows, macOS, Android, and iPad. ViewSonic describes end-to-end encryption and centralized control through ViewSonic Manager. AirSync is intended for ViewSonic displays; specified older CDE and IFP models continue with myViewBoard Display and vCast. Sessions last 180 minutes by default and can be extended twice, up to nine hours. Pricing starts at $62, and a free plan is listed.
