“NT Live” facilitates the collaborative environment in both educational and corporate settings. With two built-in applications (NT LiveScreen and NT LiveReceiver), users will be able to mirror the screen shown on one NovoTouch to other NovoTouch panels via LAN and/or Wi-Fi network. The following figure illustrates this concept.
The following table summarizes the NT Live capabilities of Novo products.
Model | NT LiveScreen | NT LiveReceiver |
NovoConnect NC-X500 | – | Yes |
NovoConnect NC-X700 | Yes | – |
NovoConnect NC-X900 | Yes | Yes |
NovoTouch LK-1 series | Yes | Yes |
NovoTouch EK-1/2/3 series | Yes | Yes |
NovoTouch BK series | – | Yes |
