BenQ has released the InstaShow VS20 Button, an industry-first wireless presentation, video conferencing and room microphone button system.

The All-In-One InstaShow VS20 Button combines BenQ’s secure wireless screen sharing with a microphone system and fast room system integration for clear, easy-to-conduct video conferences and meetings.

“There are six vital areas that make video conferences productive, speed and ease to get the meeting started, the ability to present from any device, security, clarity of the audio and video and platform and room integration,” BenQ senior director of business development Bob Wudeck says.

“InstaShow VS20 checks all the boxes, both for presenters and for IT. No other system comes close to how quick and easy it is to get meetings started with a flexible and adaptable audio solution. It’s the ultimate BYOM system every meeting room is missing.”

The BenQ InstaShow Wireless Presentation System (WPS) family ensures through its app-free, network-free design that users don’t waste any time, getting meetings started by connecting to anything within six seconds, including laptops, mobile devices, cameras, media players, game consoles, Linux devices and more, by plugging in and tapping the button.

Utilising USB-C or HDMI connection, the InstaShow VS20 also enables users to control their device directly from interactive displays of any make or model with the solution’s Touchback control feature.

Being the only WPS that is fully compatible with HDCP-encrypted content via HDMI, BenQ has also ensured that all content, not just charts and graphs, is presented in 4K UHD for the pixel density that delivers crisp, clear content without network dependency.

To take the guesswork out of room setup, which wastes valuable meeting time, the VC Assist app allows the meeting host to quickly adjust the room setup from a local meeting to a hybrid one in seconds while the InstaShow Host receiver provides all the connectivity needed for full room integration of displays, video bars, speakers, cameras and room microphones.

InstaShow VS20 makes use of its hardware-based button design to provide an onboard omnidirectional wireless microphone. This presents an exclusive wireless cascade microphone solution with audio coverage that is perfectly scaled to the number of meeting participants in the room, making it suited for rooms as small as huddle spaces to as large as lecture halls with up to 32 paired microphones.

Each wireless microphone can be individually muted at the unit and with acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) removes echoes and reverberation that can prevent clear audio. The four-way voice reception design picks up all voices within a 4.5m² radius.

Security of information, data and the network are critical which is why InstaShow WPS product portfolio is the only solution to ensure that sensitive information, data or the network are not exposed. During use, hackers can’t access information being shared. The product family also does not require connection to cloud-based servers for updates that can pose risks and require units to be locked up when not in use.

InstaShow is certified to meet CVSS 3.0 information security standards by an independent ISO 27001/ISO 17025-qualified laboratory. WPA2 authentication with AES 128-bit security encryption ensures that any intellectual property remains private and safe from tampering or unintended disclosure, guaranteeing that presentations are absolutely secure.

Powered by MTK Technologies’ router-level chipset, InstaShow creates ideal high-speed WiFi zones to handle multiband and fast media traffic with internal isolation of connection channels. With these practices, organisations can comfortably leave InstaShow buttons in the room and not worry about hackers intercepting traffic.

BenQ’s centralised management allows for easy IT and tech staff to oversee and managing InstaShow units which can be used to remotely monitor all BenQ solutions in the building or across a campus.
