ThinkHub is a visual collaboration tool designed to help you ideate, collaborate, and innovate. By consolidating all the moving pieces of a brainstorming session, ThinkHub works with the same devices, content and software that you already use – meaning almost zero set-up time to initiate ThinkHub sessions, and more efficient and productive meetings with your peers.
ThinkHub is a large, interactive interface that houses all of the content and devices that teams work with. Just like your tablet or smartphone, you use touch gestures to navigate the digital Canvas and annotate on shared content and devices. When you’re done with a session, you can save and resume the session at a later date, or you can email your session to the entire team.
Using AirConnect, you can connect and share an unlimited number of devices to ThinkHub. Connected devices appear in the bottom right device menu on the ThinkHub Canvas, and can be dragged and dropped to the ThinkHub Canvas, where they will display as live feeds. Users can then pinch-zoom, annotate, and even TouchControl™ connected devices.
You will use AirConnect to connect devices to ThinkHub (please refer to the AirConnect section for more details). AirConnect supports iOS, mac OS, Windows, Linux, and Android.
The ThinkHub Canvas is the digital backdrop for your ThinkHub sessions, and can expand up to 20 times the surface area of the physical touchscreen. Use touch gestures to navigate the Canvas, like pinch-zoom, swipe, and pan. The Canvas functions as a giant digital whiteboard, with the added benefit of supporting unlimited content and devices that users can share to the Canvas. You can select different background color options, and choose to turn gridlines on and off.
ThinkHub supports a wide range of touchscreen display sizes – whether running on a single panel display (1080p or 4K – 55”, 65”, 70”, 75”, 80”, 85”, 98”) all the way up to large, multipanel video walls.
You can show just about anything on the ThinkHub Canvas… With a USB drive or connection to your network drive, you can share images, videos, and PDFs. Using the built-in Web Browser, you can access and show web-based files from Google Drive, Evernote, DropBox, and more… With AirConnect, you can show any 3rd party applications running on your device – like AutoCAD, SmartDraw, Visio, 3D Renderings, and more…
ThinkHub has a built-in set of applications that are standard on all ThinkHub versions, including the interactive Canvas (whiteboarding), Note, Sketch, and Web Browser. Through the ThinkHub Web Browser, you can access and run any web-based applications, like Google Drive, DropBox, Evernote, Basecamp, Slack, and more… In addition to these built-in apps, there are several integrations that ThinkHub supports, including Skype For Business, WebEx, and Zoom. If you work with applications like AutoCAD, Visio, 3D Renderings, and more, you can always run these applications on your device and mirror your device to the ThinkHub Canvas for group interaction. If there is a specific application you would like to see natively integrated into ThinkHub, please contact your T1V Rep or let us know at hello@t1v.com.
ThinkHub supports a range of options when it comes to videoconferencing, all designed to support the systems you have in place. ThinkHub can work with hardware-based, in-room videoconferencing systems like Polycom and Cisco. ThinkHub also offers native integrations with soft codec videoconferencing applications, like Skype For Business, WebEx, and Zoom. If there is a specific application you would like to see natively integrated into ThinkHub, please contact your T1V Rep or let us know at hello@t1v.com.

ThinkHub does not have to be online to work, but certain features within ThinkHub do require an internet connection, like Web Browser, calendar integration (your ability to see meetings scheduled on the ThinkHub diplay’s idle screen), automatic software updates, the ability to use any app integrations (like Skype For Business or WebEx), and remote support from the T1V Support team. Additionally, you’d lose access to AirConnect World Mode, meaning no remote participants could join the session. You can, however, use AirConnect Direct Mode to share devices to ThinkHub if you are on the same subnet as ThinkHub, even if there is no connection to the internet.
