Panel Collage App Update Record
Please note that although some features are enabled with the panel application, they must also correspond with the software capabilities of the client (PC, iOS, MacOS, or Android device).

Feature update: Panel can be “discoverable” and devices can connect without entering a code.
Feature update: Panels have a “Screen copy” utility in which they can easily connect to each other. This allows for a wireless HDMI splitter solution.
V5.2 (released June 6, 2022; Available for 5000C, 6000K, 7000X, 7000XE, and 6000K+, and 8086MAX)
- 6 character code. All connections operate in “Advanced Code Mode.”
- All screen shares can be re-organized. A device name is clearly visible and the window can be long-pressed and re-organized.
- The screen share can ”pop-out” and hover over other inputs.
- A “Disconnect All” option has been added to the Device Management. This will disconnect all devices and generate a new connection code.
- The connection code remains visible while Android is disabled.
- Chromecast and Airplay are not enabled by default when the version is updated.
- Chromecast and Airplay disabled as default in Collage app settings
- If Chromecast is enabled by a user it will only "make a call" to promote availability for 10 seconds (instead of 100 seconds)
- Screen resolution and image decoding while screen sharing
- Audio issues when sharing video
- Remote connection with a camera connected to the panel. Through the connection to Collage, a Mac or Windows device can access a camera and microphone (the device must also update to v5.4)
- The clarity of the screen share will auto-adjust based on network resources. This setting can also be manually adjusted.
First, the two code options (Normal and Mini) within the Collage code window have returned! If you have used Collage in its various forms over the years you know that it used to have this function. We like that this adds a little extra control for the teacher/presenter and have now added it back.
Screenshare utility bar now retracts or expands to get out of the way of on-screen controls. If you were screensharing, and these icons made advancing slides very difficult, we have now made a way to collapse the utility bar so that you can keep teaching!
Your web browsing will no longer be impeded by our screen mirroring control window on Windows and Mac. Now this window can be moved so it will not get in the way of Browser tabs.
