Presentation Room is primarily designed for iPads and requires iOS 12.4 or later. It also runs on Mac computers equipped with Apple Silicon. As for setting up the server, you'll need a Mac running macOS 12 or later, and this can be either an Intel or Apple Silicon-based Mac.

While the demo version uses our cloud-based server to help you quickly familiarize yourself with the app, the full-functionality version doesn't require Internet access. You can operate entirely on your local network by setting up an on-premises server running on your Mac. This means you can use all the features without needing to connect to the Internet.

Security is a cornerstone of Presentation Room. We employ HTTPS protocol for secure data transfer, ensuring that all data transmitted is encrypted. If you're using our on-premises server solution, rest assured that all your data remains on your local network and is never transmitted to any third-party servers. Additionally, cached documents on participant devices are automatically removed after the presentation ends and all participants have left the session. For an extra layer of security, you can set up a private group where the Organizer controls participant access manually.

Deployment speed can vary depending on your specific requirements, but Presentation Room is designed for quick and simple implementation. Here's a general outline:

1. Hardware Requirements: Ensure all devices meet the minimum system requirements. Most likely, they will if you're using relatively new iPads and Macs.
2. Software Installation: Download the Presentation Room app on all necessary iPads and also install the server app on a designated Mac.
3. Network Configuration: Make sure that your Wi-Fi network supports the Bonjour protocol. If not, you'll need to update your network settings or plan to use the QR code feature for initial connections.
4. Initial Test: Conduct an initial test with a small group to make sure everything is running smoothly.
5. Staff Training: Brief your staff on how to use Presentation Room. The intuitive design should make this process quick and straightforward.

Once everything is confirmed to be working as expected, you can roll it out across your organization. Typically, the whole process can be completed in a matter of hours to days, not weeks.
