Whether you’re equipping a modern classroom, a corporate boardroom, or a presentation hall, a smart podium can transform how you teach, present, and collaborate. But with different models and features available, how do you pick the right one? Let’s break it down.
🔍 1. Consider Your Display Needs
The display is the centerpiece of any smart podium. Think about size and functionality:
Large Front Display: Ideal for audiences. Models like the MySmartStation Digital Signage offer 32" or 40" screens, perfect for sharing content clearly in large rooms.
All-in-One Touchscreen: If you need interactive capabilities, the MSS3 includes a 23.6" PC touchscreen, allowing direct annotation and control.
⚙️ 2. Evaluate Computing Performance
Your smart podium should keep up with your software and tasks:
Basic Use: For digital signage or simple presentations, the MSS Digital Signage with 8GB storage and Android-based operation may be sufficient.
High-Performance Needs: For multitasking, video editing, or running specialized software, the MSS2 or MSS Classic with Intel Core i7, 16GB RAM, and 1TB SSD offers desktop-level power.
🛠️ 3. Look for Ergonomics and Adjustability
Comfort during long sessions matters. Key features to look for:
Electric Lift: Adjustable height (e.g., MSS3 and MSS Slim) helps accommodate different users.
Tilt Adjustment: Electric angle adjustment, like in the MSS3, enhances viewing comfort.
🎨 4. Choose a Design That Fits Your Space
Smart podiums come in various finishes to match your environment:
Sleek Metal: The MSS Slim-A (Aluminum) offers a modern, professional look.
Warm Wood Finish: The MSS Slim-W (Wood) adds a classic touch to traditional settings.
💡 5. Identify Must-Have Features
Make a checklist of extras that will enhance usability:
Built-in PC vs. External Connectivity: All-in-One models like the MSS2 include an integrated PC, while others support external devices.
Portability: Wheels and compact designs help reposition the podium with ease.
