DreamLink Classroom

How It Works

DreamLink Wireless Casting System

DreamLink leverages a unique wireless-wired hybrid network architecture that seamlessly turns wired USB and/or HDMI connections into wireless links. As a result, remote displays appear to your computer as locally connected HDMI monitors, and a camera positioned across the room functions just like a local USB webcam.

This innovative approach allows you to cast desktops from multiple computers to multiple Interactive Flat Panels (IFPs), large-format displays, or TVs simply by plugging in DreamLink dongles via USB cables. There's no need to enter SSIDs or passwords, install network drivers, or download any apps. It delivers genuine plug-and-play, hassle-free wireless casting with dream-like simplicity.

A key advantage of DreamLink is its built-in security. By encapsulating all wireless networking complexities within the SoC-powered dongles and end nodes, DreamLink creates an isolated segment that never touches your existing network infrastructure. It connects to computers and other smart devices exclusively through secure wired links (USB or HDMI), providing a natural "fire gap" that significantly reduces risks in the event of a network-based attack.

Beyond Basic Casting

DreamLink scales from simple one-to-one casting to a complete classroom matrix ecosystem. Explore five deployment scenarios below.

One-to-One Casting

One-to-One Casting

The foundation: cast from one computer to one display.

  • Transmitter connects to laptop via single USB-C cable (HDMI via DisplayPort Alt Mode)
  • Transmitter wirelessly communicates to Access Point (AP)
  • AP relays signal to receiver mounted on display
  • Receiver connects via HDMI (video) + optional USB-Touch (interactive control)
✓ DreamLink Starter Kit
Computer and Document Camera

Add a Document Camera

Expand to a three-way matrix with a wireless document camera.

  • Cast your laptop and a wireless HoverCam ORBIT doc cam to your display—simultaneously
  • AP routes doc cam to receiver (HDMI display) OR to computer (USB UVC video)
  • Computer sees doc cam as local webcam
  • Switch modes with remote: fullscreen, split-screen, or picture-in-picture
✓ DreamLink Trio Kit
Cast to Multiple Displays

Cast to Multiple Displays

Achieve one-to-many casting with additional receivers.

  • Add receivers—one per display
  • Each receiver connects via HDMI + optional USB-Touch
  • Configure each display independently via remote
  • Show same sources or different sources per screen
  • Any display mode: fullscreen, split-screen, or picture-in-picture
✓ Add RX to Starter or Trio Kit
Multiple Computers to One Display

Multiple Computers to One Display

Enable many-to-one casting for collaboration.

  • Add transmitters—one per laptop
  • Each transmitter connects via USB-C, communicates through AP to receiver
  • Switch between computers in fullscreen mode
  • Or show multiple laptops simultaneously (split-screen or picture-in-picture)
  • Perfect for collaborative presentations
✓ Add TX to Starter or Trio Kit
Full Matrix Casting

Full Classroom Matrix

Achieve many-to-many casting for advanced classroom environments.

  • Multiple transmitters (one per laptop) + multiple receivers (one per display) + multiple ORBIT cameras
  • AP routes any source to any display
  • Control what each receiver displays via remote
  • Gallery view (split-screen all devices), picture-in-picture (primary + floating window), or fullscreen
  • Scale infinitely to meet any classroom configuration

How DreamLink Benefits Your School

For Teachers

Move freely around your classroom—no more being tethered to the board. Plug-and-play setup means more time teaching, less time troubleshooting technology.

For IT Teams

Works with all operating systems and existing hardware. Off-network design means zero security vulnerabilities, no support tickets, and no complex configuration. Future-proof with standard USB and HDMI protocols.

Enterprise-Grade Security

DreamLink Network Architecture

Isolated Network Segment

DreamLink creates its own private wireless network that operates completely independently from your school or enterprise network infrastructure.

USB/HDMI Fire Gap

All connections to computers and devices use secure wired USB or HDMI links, creating a natural "fire gap" that prevents network-based attacks from reaching your infrastructure.

No Global Root Passwords

Unlike other vendors who expose global root passwords that students can easily exploit (often listed on manufacturer websites and restored with a simple reset button press), DreamLink uses factory-paired authentication with no accessible passwords.

No Network Exposure

Since DreamLink never touches your existing network, there's no need for network configuration, firewall rules, or VLAN setup. IT departments can deploy with confidence.

Encrypted Communication

All wireless transmissions between DreamLink components are encrypted, ensuring content security without requiring complex network security policies.

Zero Cloud Dependency

DreamLink operates entirely on-premises with no cloud connectivity required. Your content never leaves your facility, ensuring complete data sovereignty.

Plug-and-Play Security

Factory-paired components eliminate the risk of rogue device connections. Only authenticated DreamLink devices can communicate with each other.

The Beauty of Universal Standards

DreamLink leverages generic HDMI and USB protocols—industry-standard technologies that have been perfected over decades. Because HDMI and USB are universal, DreamLink is operating system agnostic and works seamlessly with Windows, Mac, Chromebook, and more without proprietary software, custom drivers, or compatibility concerns. Whether you have the latest Interactive Flat Panel or a legacy projector, DreamLink simply works. This standards-based approach ensures your investment is future-proof: as you upgrade displays or add new devices, DreamLink adapts without requiring updates or replacements.

System Requirements: Casting devices require a USB-C port that supports DisplayPort Alt Mode (standard on most modern laptops). Displays require an HDMI input port.

Display Modes: Choose fullscreen for focused instruction, picture-in-picture (PiP) for multitasking, or gallery view when showcasing multiple sources simultaneously.

Perfect for Expanded Setups: When you have multiple transmitters and receivers, the remote becomes essential for seamlessly switching between different computers, document cameras, or display configurations.

Note: The remote is included by default with all DreamLink packages. While the Starter Casting Kit includes the remote, its functionality truly shines in Trio and Pro setups where multiple input sources benefit from quick switching capabilities.

How DreamLink Compares

Feature DreamLink Other Solutions
Network Setup Creates its own isolated wireless network. No IT configuration, no firewall rules, no VLAN setup required. Most require integration with existing school network, often needing IT department configuration and ongoing maintenance.
Software Installation Zero software or drivers needed. Appears as native USB/HDMI to your operating system. Typically requires downloading apps, installing drivers, and managing updates across all devices.
Initial Setup Plug in the factory-paired dongle and start casting immediately. No configuration screens or login credentials. Usually involves pairing procedures, network connection setup, and multiple configuration steps before first use.
Device Compatibility Operating system agnostic for wide compatibility with PCs, Macs, and Chromebooks with USB-C ports supporting DisplayPort Alt Mode. Outputs to HDMI displays including IFPs, TVs, and projectors. Often limited to specific operating systems or require different apps for different platforms.
Document Camera Integration ORBIT wireless document camera included in Trio and Pro kits, seamlessly integrated into the ecosystem. Document cameras typically sold separately and require additional setup and separate wireless connections.
Pricing Model One-time purchase. No recurring subscription fees, no per-device licensing, own it forever. Many solutions require annual subscription fees, per-room licensing, or recurring cloud service costs.
IT Support Requirements Minimal to none. Off-network design means no network conflicts, no firewall issues, no support tickets. Often require ongoing IT support for network configuration, troubleshooting connectivity issues, and managing updates.
Security Approach Hardware-isolated network with USB/HDMI "fire gap" that never touches your existing infrastructure. No global root passwords—factory-paired authentication only. Network-based solutions expose your infrastructure to potential vulnerabilities and require security policies. Most rely on global root passwords that are publicly documented and easily restored via reset buttons.
