Nureva: interactivity beyond the screen.


In this report, we have spent some talking about ways in which, what is sure to become a commodity product, can be differentiated. Avocor, through its relationship with Nureva, has something of a doozy. Imagine a situation where a workgroup, of four or five


will be aware of Nureva’s huge collaborative canvases which use projectors to display con- tent from the cloud across a wall or even a square or cyl- inder or interactive surfaces. The partnership with Avocor now allows users to take con- tent generated on the Avocor

Large iFPD-based solutions are often ideal for boardrooms and lager meet- ing rooms, but huddle spaces demand smaller, lower cost alternatives for mass deployments around corpo- rates and institutions. We have seen one of these, bought one for our own business and are keenly awaiting the arrival of the third. So, in reverse order, and starting with the one we are waiting for, Crestron SR is described as ‘a powerful, pro- fessional solution built for Skype for Business which brings a simple to use, HD audio visual experience to meeting rooms, which can be easily deployed and managed on the network’. Cre- stron SR has been engineered from the ground up to easily integrate with a large range of meeting rooms; from small and midsize spaces to larger conference rooms. It’s possible to easily join meetings, make calls and instantly share con- tent in room and remotely, all from an elegant touch screen device. Some of its key features include a touch controller which manages the Skype Meeting; HDMI inputs and outputs; six USB ports to connect audio devices and a port to add an occupancy sen- sor for automation and room usage reporting. We like the look of this and the simplicity of the interface. By the way, the manufacturer’s SRP will be €2649.00 with the product available across Europe later in the Autumn 2017.


Next to the one we tried: Kramer’s VIA GO offers iOS, Android, Chrome- book, PC, and Mac users instant


wireless connectivity with advanced presentation capabilities. The product features content streaming with mir- rored images and stunning video play- back and includes iOS, Windows and Android mirroring. VIA GO is easy and flexible to install with both built-in Wi− Fi and LAN connectivity and includes industry-leading 1024-bit encryption for secure use on the internal network. We particularly liked the ability to customise the user interface and the 60 fps Streaming Multimedia. Users can share the HD wireless video streaming (using the VIA app Multimedia feature) which supports up to 6 Mbps video bit rate when using the built-in Wi-Fi mod- ule in Access Point mode.


This is one for the systems integra- tors who can not only configure the hardware but also the interface to the users’ precise requirements. Up to two participant screens can be displayed simultaneously on main screen. With iOS and Android mirroring, VIA GO has seamless integration with VIA Site Management (VSM) software and the VIA Pad Finally, the one that we use: Logitech GROUP Kit. This is a multi-purpose collaboration system that extends the flexibility of and lowers the switching costs associated with cloud services in the conference room. The solution, which offers 1080p video and profes- sional-grade audio, is optimised for use with Microsoft Skype for Business, Cisco WebEx, Cisco Jabber and a num- ber of Logitech Collaboration Program members including Blue Jeans and Zoom, ensuring a superior meeting

experience when using these video applications.


The Intel NUC powers the system with high performance and reliabil- ity to run HD video conferencing with support for multiple HD and 4K UHD displays.
