vSolution MATRIX: Networked AV solutions for
active learning classrooms & training rooms
Flexible
active learning
with Cynap &
Cynap Core Pro
vSolution MATRIX is an AV over IP collaboration
solution which uses multiple Cynap / Cynap Core Pro
devices to stream video and audio between multiple
screens using network infrastructure.
A single feature pack enabled Cynap unit, designated as
the ‘main’ system in the room, is connected to multiple
workstations with either a Cynap or a Cynap Core Pro
system installed, creating a system suitable for active
learning classrooms, training rooms, and courtrooms
of all sizes, and for other applications where multiple
display screens are deployed to leverage collaborative
learning and working.
Just like in the human brain where synapses are
essential for quick processing and transmission of
information, Cynap and Cynap Core Pro are unique,
powerful, and flexible systems, providing instant
access to information of all types from any source.

Networked AV solutions
“
“We decided to use vSolution MATRIX because
of its flexibility and ease of use. We found that the
mirroring capability of other solutions was not as
good, and that was a key component for us. The
attention to detail that WolfVision have put in gave
us a lot of confidence in the product. This room
effectively gives us 16 breakout rooms and a lecture
theatre all in one space!“
