Mira Connect is a leading smart control system that makes it easy to control the AV equipment in your room with options for managing displays, controlling lights, adjusting audio levels, changing channels, dialing audio and video calls, and controlling other AV equipment.

Unlike traditional control systems, you can create a completely configured control system with an intuitive user interface without having to do any programming.

To configure a system, add the equipment in Mira Portal, enable the options you'd like to use, and the UI is built automatically for you. Available for tabletop or wall mount, Mira Connect looks great in any application. See our training videos for how to get started.

To experience Mira Connect's user interface with this demo, click anywhere in the touchscreen image on the left (wherever the cursor changes to a hand ) and see what it does.

You'll see example screens of what you would be able to control, just as with a fully-integrated Mira Connect.

To see the Mira Connect user interface larger on your screen, expand your browser window.
