Comparing IMU Basic and IMU Pro

   

Pangolin's Interactive Messaging Unlimited system lets you 1) receive and process incoming SMS text messages, and 2) display them on the Internet, or in public using video or lasers. Step 1 is handled by a program also named IMU, which is described below. Step 2 is handled by an SMS text display program such as Video Messaging Unlimited, which is included in the IMU system.

There are two versions of the IMU system:

  • The IMU Basic system is best suited for mobile DJs, clubs, tradeshows, and special events.
  • The IMU Pro system is intended for high-volume applications in cable TV and broadcast, and for those who require MMS (Multimedia Messaging Services).
