UNIFIED COMMUNICATIONS >>ExhibitorView Real work, real time
Seeing the big picture today and tomorrow is going to require an acute focus on distribution and collaboration, says Jupiter Systems’ Brady O Bruce
This year heralds a change for InfoComm members that is tectonic in its reach and implications. The display wall industry has evolved because customer requirements have evolved. Distribution and collaboration are in; isolation and disconnected islands of information are out.
It has been said that “seeing
thebig picture” often requires “seeing abig picture”. Our industry has a long and impressive history of providing control rooms that allow business and public sector managers to gather in front of a
display wall, see the same thing at the same time, develop a common operating picture, manage operations, and respond quickly to emerging situations. But what about managers, consultants and experts who need to see the same things, but are not in the control room? What about working with the managers who are in the facilities depicted on the control room screens?
Information yields value when it is shared. Shared information is most valuable when the right people can work together with it. All of the video and other visual
‘Information yields value when it is shared. Shared information is most valuable when the right people can work together with it’
information that is made available to the managers in the control room should also be made available to managers who find themselves between flights at the airport, in their homes, in a hotel room 6,000 miles from HQ, on the street, in a branch office – wherever they happen to be and on whatever device they have in front of them. Laptops, smartphones, tablets, and even other display walls... Better still, these far-flung colleagues need to collaborate. By which I mean really collaborate, not just co-view. They need to be able to draw
directly on the screen, on top of live video, with a finger or a mouse, and draw the attention of distant experts to the area of interest. A whiteboard and a chat window should be available. Real work in real time is the goal – anywhere and at any time. Jupiter Systems has delivered that with Canvas, our collaborative visualisation product. We think that’s where the world is headed and where this industry will go. The future looks pretty good from here. Stand: 2-A45
ViewShare easy videoconferencing DA-LITE SCREEN COMPANY
ViewShare Technology is making its debut at ISE 2014. The Da-Lite solution allows users interact using peer-to-peer software, such as Lync or Skype, on a large team-to-team scale.
Described as filling a gap in the
market between a high-end videoconferencing system and a personal computer or smart device, ViewShare Technology brings teams together with the free peer-to-peer software they are already using. ViewShare integrates a HD
video camera directly into the weight bar of the Tensioned Advantage Electrol projection screen, meaning every conference room can be turned into a room for face-to-face brainstorming and document sharing in real time.
ViewShare also includes a tabletop speaker and microphone. Users can quickly and easily share their screen and make a call by plugging in a USB cord to their computer. Da-Lite lists other benefits of ViewShare, including the ability to conceal the camera in the ceiling when it isn’t in use and a retrofit model that allows older Advantage Projection Screens to be updated with a new format, HD surface and functionality. The Da-Lite camera screen will
feature all the benefits and projection screen surface options of a Tensioned Advantage Electrol, including a plenum rating. Every Da-Lite surface is a proprietary formula and is designed to help customers achieve the best picture possible for their image. Stand: 2-C42

Meeting calls for tablefor7 ASHTON BENTLEY
Ashton Bentley has added to its Connect range of integrated audiovisual room collaboration products with tablefor7 and tablefor9, both of which are designed to provide “the perfect matched conference table” for a variety of medium-to-large meeting spaces.
The tablefor7 is on show for the first time at ISE 2014 and
52 thedaily 2014
comfortably seats up to seven people at a table designed to place occupants in the perfect position for both videoconferencing and collaborative meeting applications. It uses the same tool-less construction principles as the rest of the Ashton Bentley range so that it can be shipped anywhere and assembled in minutes. The table legs used can also house third-party devices, such as computers, allowing for easy
system expansion without the requirement of large equipment cabinets or dedicated rooms to house equipment.
It also comes with Ashton Bentley’s interface-f, which provides two laptop connections, microphone and semi-automated control of an adjoining Connect single or dual display system (which can be linked to the table with just a single cable). Stand: 12-B71
