# Compare wireless presentation and meeting systems

Prepared by Mersive.

Prepared and published by Mersive Technologies, a manufacturer included in this comparison. This is a review of documentation, not an independent study or a hands-on performance benchmark.

Dataset version: 2026-10-05.1. Published: 2026-10-04. Updated: 2026-10-05.

Comparison reviewed: 2026-10-04. Individual source review dates appear with each citation.

Scope: 27 products, 40 criteria, 1080 matrix entries. All products are included, regardless of selections in the interactive hub.

[Interactive comparison hub](<https://www.mersive.com/compare/hub/>) · [Comparison data (JSON)](<https://www.mersive.com/compare/evidence.json>)

This Markdown file is generated automatically from the same data as the comparison hub and JSON. Product assessments and matrix findings retain their source wording, qualifications, citations and review dates. A new build does not constitute a new evidence review.

## Methodology and evidence limits

Prepared by Mersive from manufacturer documentation and relevant partner sources. Findings apply to the named product and configuration. Every cell cites the documents used, including when those documents leave part of the answer unresolved. Published specifications are not independent performance tests.

The selected products represent different room architectures: presentation receivers, conferencing appliances and room-system software. Compare the complete configuration, including peripherals, licences and network requirements. Coverage is selective, not a census of the market; there is no overall ranking.

Browser sharing means a URL-based sharing session without downloading or running an application or installing an extension. Native Google Cast is assessed under wireless sharing methods. Browser sharing through a meeting retains the meeting and permission requirements.

Citations identify the relevant section or page and the review date. Where documentation does not establish a capability, the cell explains what is documented and what remains unresolved. An unresolved finding does not mean the capability is absent.

Send the product, comparison criterion and the relevant document URL and section. Include the firmware or licence version where it affects the finding. [Submit a correction](<mailto:support@mersive.com?subject=Comparison%20evidence%20correction>)

Revision history:
- 2026-10-05: Added sourced strengths and limitations, product roles, publication metadata and revision history. Added ClickShare Hub BYOD instructions while retaining the conflicting known-issues qualification; rechecked BenQ DMS availability.
- 2026-10-04: Published the expanded documentation review: 27 products and 40 criteria, with product-specific citations and complete JSON and Markdown exports.

Evidence status: verified = evidence read; qualified = a material condition applies; unverified = not established by the reviewed documentation. An unverified finding does not mean the capability is absent.

## Polaris Essentials

Manufacturer: Mersive. Product family: Polaris.

### Product assessment

Role: Presentation and collaboration receiver. Assessment updated: 2026-10-05.

Polaris Essentials and Pro run the same software for sharing and room management. Essentials provides the shared workspace on the smaller chassis.

Around 5 simultaneous workspace sources is the practical memory limit. Wireless BYOM through the appliance requires Pro. The separate Host is pre-launch; its planned Essentials configuration cables peripherals to Host.

## Polaris Pro

Manufacturer: Mersive. Product family: Polaris.

### Product assessment

Role: Presentation and conferencing appliance. Assessment updated: 2026-10-05.

Polaris Essentials and Pro run the same software for sharing and room management. Pro adds room-peripheral connections, wired content input and dual display output.

Around 10 simultaneous workspace sources is the practical memory limit. Link currently supports Teams and retains the laptop as a control surface; Host is a separate, pre-launch addition.

## Airtame 3 + Hybrid

Manufacturer: Airtame. Product family: Airtame.

### Product assessment

Role: Presentation and room-conferencing appliance. Assessment updated: 2026-10-05.

Airtame 3 with Hybrid runs calls on the room device and supports Teams, Zoom, Google Meet and Webex, alongside sharing and signage.

Core and Hybrid have different conferencing entitlements. Native protocols have staged beta/release availability; target dates alone do not confirm a rollout. Confirm subscription scope where the FAQ and license overview differ.

## ClickShare CX-30

Manufacturer: Barco. Product family: ClickShare Conference.

### Product assessment

Role: Presentation and laptop-conferencing receiver. Assessment updated: 2026-10-05.

CX-30 combines wireless presentation with laptop-hosted conferencing through room AV. It supports two on-screen sources.

The specification covers original and Gen2 hardware. Windows bulk deployment of the desktop app uses an MSI package with administrator privileges; Barco also documents individual installation without administrator rights. Confirm the generation and deployment method. Firmware 2.27 has native-sharing exceptions; digital signage remains present without official support.

## ClickShare CX-50 2nd generation

Manufacturer: Barco. Product family: ClickShare Conference.

### Product assessment

Role: Presentation and laptop-conferencing receiver. Assessment updated: 2026-10-05.

CX-50 Gen2 adds dual display output and wired USB-C content input to laptop-hosted wireless conferencing.

Its two-source display limit is distinct from its 32-user connection capacity. The wired input uses USB-C DisplayPort and is specified at 4K30. Touchback requires a single-display configuration; native sharing has firmware-specific exceptions.

## AirMedia AM-3200-WF

Manufacturer: Crestron. Product family: AirMedia Series 3.

### Product assessment

Role: Presentation and laptop-conferencing receiver. Assessment updated: 2026-10-05.

AM-3200-WF combines wireless presentation, Canvas composition and laptop-hosted conferencing with room-control connections.

Conferencing depends on laptop, connection method and firmware. Canvas limits vary by sharing method, and current technical pages disagree on ChromeOS composition. Guest-interface services also have restrictions.

## Montage / Screen Sharing

Manufacturer: DisplayNote. Product family: DisplayNote Montage.

### Product assessment

Role: Presentation receiver software. Assessment updated: 2026-10-05.

DisplayNote's sharing software runs on supported Windows and Android receivers. It offers browser access, cloud connections and a moderated grid of up to nine presenters.

Extended Gridview requires Moderator Mode and cannot be used with Broadcast to display. Receiver hardware and operating-system support must be assessed separately.

## RoomCast E2

Manufacturer: Yealink. Product family: Yealink RoomCast.

### Product assessment

Role: Presentation and laptop-conferencing receiver. Assessment updated: 2026-10-05.

RoomCast E2 is an Android 14 sharing receiver with a four-way display and cloud management. Its support guide documents wireless use of room USB peripherals from a laptop.

Wireless IP BYOD needs a paired Yealink Presentation Pod, compatible UAC/UVC peripherals and the documented network setup. E2 protocol support should be checked in its own guide; original RoomCast features do not automatically carry over.
