SmartClass+ Computer Lab (VGA)

The “VGA” version of SmartClass+ is designed for computer labs and classrooms that are using rich-media applications such as high-resolution graphics or motion video.

SmartClass+ VGA operates with workstations having VGA video connections between the computers and their local monitors.

Take Control of Your Classroom!

SmartClass+ VGA is a multimedia control system that equips instructors with the tools they need to manage student activities in a computer lab.

SmartClass+ empowers teachers to orchestrate:

  • Teacher presentations
  • Model student presentations
  • Monitoring student screens
  • Remote control of student workstations

SmartClass+ uses an extremely reliable hardware-based KVM (Keyboard-video-Mouse) switching platform – the same technology used by IT professionals.

There are thousands of SmartClass systems installed worldwide. SmartClass systems are deployed in universities, colleges, K-12 schools, corporate training classrooms, and government/military training labs.
