The VP2020 / VP2021 contains various features that make it a perfect
collaboration terminal. The VP2020 allows up to 8 attendees to quickly enter a
meeting either wirelessly or via Ethernet connection to the local network; the
VP2021, on the other hand, while enabling up to 8 attendees to join the meeting
remotely, it also enables up to 20 to attend via Ethernet connection. With the
capability of displaying multiple sources simultaneously, content can be
presented in full screen / side-by-side / quad view (VP2021 only) screen
layouts. When auto layout projection is enabled, the layout can be switched
automatically whenever a new signal is detected. The USB-C and USB Type-

presentation directly from a connected touchscreen or mouse. Moderation
Mode gives the moderator access to manage and control attendees' connection
status as well as the AV content being displayed. Moreover, the VP2021
supports collaboration tools, such as annotation, whiteboard on screen, and
screen capturing, to take video conferencing and digital learning experiences
to the next level.
Additional highlights include the all-metal enclosure that gives the
presentation switch a sleek look while guaranteeing durability. Connected
devices can be powered using VP2020 / VP2021's PoE-supported Ethernet
port, ensuring that the device stays online. Integration with audio amplifiers or
mixing systems is made easier thanks to the audio de-embedding functionality.

wireless meeting.
