Why Choose Rise Vision Over Mersive Solstice

Screen Share Without a Pod in Every Room

Solstice needs a dedicated Solstice Pod in each room where you want to share. With Rise Vision, you can share from any device to any display running our software. That means there's no clunky proprietary hardware to buy.

Get Screen Sharing, Signage, and Alerts on One Platform

We combine digital signage, screen sharing, and emergency alerts into one platform. By comparison, Solstice shows signage only while a screen is idle. And its emergency banner doesn't connect to safety systems without custom work.

Save Time and Money With One Vendor

With Solstice, you'll need an active Solstice Subscription to keep getting software updates and premium support. But with Rise Vision, fast support and free training are included. Plus, you'll get competitive pricing on hardware, software, and support from one vendor.

Connect to the Right Display With Code Connect

Participants enter the code shown on the screen they want to use. That way, they share to the correct display and prevent unwanted streams. For extra security, you can also require a PIN confirmation.

FAQs

Yes, for updates and support. Every Solstice Pod comes with a perpetual software license. But you'll need an active Solstice Subscription for regular software updates, premium support, and warranty coverage. One year is included with each Pod. After that, if your subscription lapses, you'll have to pay for the lapsed time when you renew.
