Introduction

MAWi allows users to push content onto multiple screens and video walls in the same or different sites, and control that content from a simple and easy to use browser-based dashboard.

MAWi is an on-premise solution and the multiple screens can be connected over the LAN, WAN, or over the Internet.

MAWi is a holistic connectivity solution for video walls and digital signage screens, allowing you to connect and control your screens in a variety of ways, including Android-based AVoIP players, HDMI over LAN zero clients, standalone Windows-based PCs and USB to HDMI adapters.

Our new release – includes the following new features, enhancements, and fixes detailed below.

MAWi v1 offers many new improvements and features.

Here are some of the most significant improvements in MAWi’s new release:

– The Display Configuration Tool, USB wall, and Spacewall apps are now part of the MAWi management console. No extra installation is required on the Client’s PC.

– Added extensive support for controlling MAWi Players from the Display config tool: Restart the spacedesk app, Restart the Android player, Update the spacedesk APK, Assignment, and initial setup steps are streamlined.

– The installation process will now automatically install the latest spacedesk or OSBASE drivers when required.

– We have revolutionized the licensing mechanism – licensing will now be done with an advanced and efficient online system. No need to send us license requests anymore! 

– A new ‘fit to Screen’ checkbox is available when displaying videos on video walls. This is especially useful when video walls of odd sizes and shapes are used, as the system will spread the content nicely on the entire video wall.

– Plus lots of smaller features, stability improvements, and bug fixes.
