Panel Collage App Update Record

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)

  1. 6 character code. All connections operate in “Advanced Code Mode.”
  2. All screen shares can be re-organized. A device name is clearly visible and the window can be long-pressed and re-organized.
  3. The screen share can ”pop-out” and hover over other inputs.
  4. A “Disconnect All” option has been added to the Device Management. This will disconnect all devices and generate a new connection code.

v5.3 (released July 27, 2022; Available for 5000C, 6000K, 7000X, 7000XE, and 6000K+, and 8086MAX)
This version has the following revisions:
  1. The connection code remains visible while Android is disabled.
  2. Chromecast and Airplay are not enabled by default when the version is updated.
v5.4 (released February 20, 2023: Available for 5000C, 7000X, 6000K, 7000XE, 6000K+, 8086MAX, and 7000XT)

This release is primarily a quality update that implements improvements based on user feedback.

First, it implements changes that will reduce the network bandwidth related to the application with the following changes:

  1. Chromecast and Airplay disabled as default in Collage app settings
  2. If Chromecast is enabled by a user it will only "make a call" to promote availability for 10 seconds (instead of 100 seconds)

We are also seeking to improve the following from some user experience (based on the platform of the sender application):
  1. Screen resolution and image decoding while screen sharing
  2. Audio issues when sharing video

In addition, we have enabled the following features. (These features are only available for the 6000K, 7000XE, 6000K+, 8086MAX, and 7000XT)
  1. 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)
  2. The clarity of the screen share will auto-adjust based on network resources. This setting can also be manually adjusted.


v5.5 (released April 17, 2023: Available for 5000C, 7000X, 6000K, 7000XE, 6000K+, 8086MAX, and 7000XT)

  • 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.




v5.8 (released June 23, 2024; These feature updates are available for the following displays. All NIO-S15, 6000K+, 8086MAX, 6000A+, and 7000XT.)

  1. File sharing from the panel can be sent to multiple devices at once.


  1. Touchback authorization for devices will be memorized. In this way, an authorized device will be automatically authorized the next time it uses Desktop Sync. This is very helpful for a device that often connects to the display (like the teacher’s laptop).


  1. Other Miscellaneous Improvements

    1. Adapted the Collage Code window for EDLA-certified interface

    2. Optimized SSID display name



v5.9 (released September 4, 2024 (This update is available for the 6000K+, 8086MAX, 7000XT, 6000A+, and NIO-S15 series of displays.)

Feature List
  1. Added support for Android 14 devices.
  2. Several improvements for Miracast (Panel host app) - Miracast can now function using MS-MICE; Miracast of Infrastructure Connection Establishment Protocol. This provides better and faster connections with Miracast. Also, the Miracast screenshare can support 4K resolution. (Currently only supported on the 6000A+ panel).
