Use Mira Connect to Control Promethean ActivPanel

Promethean interactive displays are industry-leading solutions that turn classrooms and workplaces into engaging, collaborative spaces. Aveo Systems’ Mira Connect AV control system now makes it easy to control Promethean ActivPanel 10’s from a touch panel or remotely through a browser.

Mira Connect is an easy-to-configure AV control system that doesn’t require any programming to create an intuitive user interface for an AV system. Available as an all-in-one touch panel or as a software application for Windows® PCs, Mira Connect controls thousands of products, including video switchers, displays, TV tuners, audio amplifiers, audio processors, and more.

Mira Connect communicates to the Promethean ActivPanel 10 over a network or RS-232 connection, as shown in the following figure.

Mira Connect controls power (including using Wake-on-LAN to power on the display), video source selection, volume, mute, and optionally, display blank and display freeze.

An example of Mira Connect’s user interface, with user interface elements highlighted, shows video source selection, power, volume, and display blank controls.

Mira Connect enables AV and IT teams to access this user interface remotely in a browser for controlling the display from anywhere with Mira Connect’s remote control feature. Mira Connect also makes it easy to control multiple Promethean ActivPanel 10’s and other AV equipment from the same user interface.

Step-by-step instructions for using Mira Connect with Promethean ActivPanel 10’s are available in our Promethean integration guide.
