vSolution MATRIX: Networked AV-based technology for active learning
vSolution MATRIX is an AV over IP-based collaboration solution from WolfVision, which uses multiple Cynap / Cynap Core units to stream video and audio between multiple screens using existing network infrastructure.
Available as a feature pack upgrade for Cynap systems, it is ideal for active learning classrooms, training rooms, and courtrooms of all sizes.
A single feature pack enabled Cynap unit, designated as the ‘main’ system in the room, is connected to multiple workstations with either a Cynap or a Cynap Core system installed. Content is shared between connected monitors and the main screen in the room with all processing performed by the installed Cynap systems themselves.

Easy drag & drop control of multiple screens
A Cynap system at every workstation ensures an intuitive and easy-to-use collaborative working environment for all users, and the simple drag and drop interface enables content to be moved effortlessly between different screens in the room.
The Room View is used to control pushing and pulling of content between displays, and flexible configuration settings enable up to 40 workstations to be configured using either names, numbers or colours, to exactly match the actual layout of individual learning spaces.
