How proVEOS Works

A proVEOS setup is made up of three major components:

A Windows or Macintosh computer with the proVEOS software installed

proVEOS Wireless Presentation Gateway connected to a projector and
speakers

Local area network (LAN)



The computer and proVEOS gateway are connected to the LAN to allow
them to send and receive information



The proVEOS Client on the computer signs in to the gateway,
announcing its presence to the other participants



The proVEOS Client is switched to presentation mode to start capturing
the laptop’s display continuously and send it to the proVEOS gateway
over the LAN



Multimedia files can also be sent to the proVEOS gateway for playback
