86 • AirMedia® Presentation Gateway
Security Reference Guide — Doc. 7693AC
The customizable background feature is an effective way to give guidance to all AirMedia users
in any room and should be leveraged whenever possible. On AirMedia Series 3 and AirMedia 2.0
devices, there are additional options for the connection address, including a custom option that
allows for entry of something other than the IP address or host name of the device. This can also
be set to text instructions, URL shortening services, or anything else an administrator may need
to assist the user connection experience.
PC User Experience Test Case Considerations
PC users typically comprise 85-90% of the total types of users, with mobile users taking up the
remainder. The user experience will vary in environments with mixed Windows and macOS
computers. Instructions for AirMedia sender application use vary as discussed in
Sender Applications for User Download (on page 50)
. To provide an optimal AirMedia user
experience:
l
Install the AirMedia deployable AirMedia sender application silently with the appropriate
options for operation. Application management from a central organization can also
provide a uniform user experience.
l
Provide basic guidance to users through the front of room experience. Instructive, on-
screen backgrounds or instruction placards can also be provided to advise users on proper
use.
l
Provide optimal methods for room discovery, such as centralized room lists and allowing
mDNS and Bonjour (including third party solutions).
l
Design user interfaces (i.e., panels or buttons) for clarity to enable ease of use when first
connecting to AirMedia.
Test all of the intended connection methods prior to commissioning a system to ensure a smooth
user experience.
Mobile User Experience Test Case Considerations
Mobile users comprise up to 15% of total types of users. While the same considerations for PC
users can apply to mobile users, specific considerations for mobile users include:
l
Installation of the AirMedia app typically requires users to access the respective app store
for the device. Installation cannot be automated, so guidance will need to be given.
l
The AirMedia app allows users full-screen capture for AirMedia Series 3, AirMedia 2.0, and
AM-101 devices.
l
The AirMedia for AM-100 app is primarily for AM-100 (or AM-101) users or those who
require multiview and moderator mode functions. The AirMedia for AM-100 app will
launch automatically from the AirMedia app (if installed) when an attempt is made to
connect to the AM-100. If the correct app is not installed, the user will be directed to the
corresponding app store to download the correct AirMedia sender application.
l
While the iOS and Android AirMedia sender applications have similar user interfaces, the
iOS experience requires use of iOS’ built in mirroring function. Instructions for use are
given to the user upon connecting to the AirMedia receiver.
