MeetingMinders display your existing room reservations from Microsoft Outlook or EMS from Dean Evans & Associates, while allowing you to create a walk-up reservation with only a few touches to the screen. You ll see room availability at a glance with our large on-screen status light that is GREEN when the room is available and RED when it s not. To schedule the room, just touch Reserve and set the time and meeting length. Optionally, a four-digit PIN can be set to protect your reservation from being erroneously canceled or modified. Walk-up reservations are immediately shared with your Microsoft Exchange or EMS server to avoid double-bookings, and they can be limited to within a few hours of the current time, to the same day, or to a number of days from the current date. Our room signs can be surface mounted or recessed in walls. Our Power over Ethernet (PoE) room signs allow you to run one Ethernet cable to the room sign to supply both power and data, so you don t have to worry about concealing power bricks. Smart Features For rooms where walk-up reservations aren t appropriate, any interactive MeetingMinder can run in non-interactive mode. Dynamic digital signage content and room schedules are displayed full-screen in this mode. Interactive and non-interactive MeetingMinders can be used together in the same facility, and a consolidated schedule for all rooms can be shown on large displays using a Visix media player.
