Network Media: Connecting and Engaging Audiences-6135
From synchronised screens to real-time interactive experiences — exploring how network media is reshaping the way we present, broadcast, and engage.
The Dawn of Networked Presentations
The earliest ideas in network media centred on synchronised content delivery — pushing the same visuals to multiple devices simultaneously, creating a unified audience experience.
Projects like GitHub's NetPresenter (2015) were pioneers in this space, exploring how slideshows could be kept in perfect sync across monitors and computers over a network.
The Core Idea
One source, many screens — delivering consistent content at scale without manual intervention.

Wireless Protocols
Support for AirPlay, Chromecast, and Miracast enables cable-free casting from any compatible device to any compatible screen.
