FUZHOU, CHINA, August 29, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ — Returnstar Technology, a global provider of smart education and collaboration solutions, has announced the launch of the Q-NEX Smart Lectern SL100, an integrated digital podium designed to simplify presentation and AV operation in professional spaces.
As presentation environments become increasingly technology-driven, traditional lecterns are facing new challenges. Presenters today often need to work with multiple displays, content sources, audio devices and control systems, while traditional lecterns typically provide little more than a physical workspace. SL100 addresses this gap by bringing audience communication, content interaction and system control together through an integrated three-screen design.
In a traditional setup, audience-facing information often requires an additional display or separate playback device. SL100 integrates a dedicated 23.8-inch Full HD front-facing display into the lectern, providing a clear space for meeting information, event schedules, welcome messages and other audience-facing content. Content can be played locally via USB or updated remotely through a mobile app, making it easier to prepare and manage content without adding another device to the presentation setup.
The same difference can be seen in how presenters interact with their content. With a conventional lectern, presenters often rely on a connected laptop, mouse or separate interactive display when they need to annotate or interact with presentation materials. SL100 takes a more integrated approach by combining a 23.8-inch interactive pen and touch display with a built-in Windows PC. Presenters can access and operate their content directly from the lectern, much like using their own computer, while support for Microsoft Pen Protocol (MPP)-compatible pens enables natural writing and annotation. This integrated setup reduces the need for external devices while providing a familiar and seamless presentation experience.
SL100 also simplifies AV control. Conventional presentation systems often require separate interfaces or network-connected control systems to switch sources, adjust audio or operate connected devices. SL100 brings key functions such as 3×3 matrix switching, device control, presentation timing and audio adjustment into its integrated control panel, while these core local controls can operate without an internet connection. This makes the lectern easier to deploy in environments where network configuration may be complex, and ensures essential presentation controls remain available even when network conditions are unstable.
For organizations managing multiple presentation spaces, the difference extends beyond the room. While traditional lecterns typically rely solely on local operation, SL100 can extend beyond the room through integration with the Q-NEX Platform, it supports remote management through a web console or mobile app. Administrators can manage the lectern and supported connected devices remotely, providing a more practical approach to maintaining presentation technology across multiple spaces.
SL100 is one of Q-NEX digital podium series designed to address different application needs. For campus environments, the NDP200 and NDP600 provide two different approaches. The freestanding NDP200 is suited to larger spaces such as campus auditoriums and lecture halls, while the desktop NDP600 is designed for classrooms and other spaces where an existing traditional lectern is already in place. With its front-facing digital signage and network-independent control Panel, SL100 is particularly suited to formal presentation environments such as executive meeting rooms, professional training spaces and seminal halls.
Although designed for different spaces and application needs, the Q-NEX Digital Podium Series follows the same integrated approach, bringing presentation, AV control, interaction and device management together within a unified podium. By connecting these functions into one coordinated solution, Q-NEX goes beyond individual devices to simplify operations and improve how technology is managed within a space, helping organizations build more efficient, connected and future-ready presentation environments.
