Midwich Technology Exposed 2018


To think, there was a time when a trip to Mercedes-Benz was tinged was excitement – today, we’ve seen the cars plenty of times, the limitations imposed by the venue limit the manner of product demonstrations and the impact of more imagina- tive showcase events, like the creatively themed NEC ‘Day in the life event and Maverick’s ‘Connect – age of collaboration, have left Technology Exposed a little tired. Fortunately, some of the new products went some way to jus- tifying the long slog around the M25. Jeff Meyer, VP Europe, for Mersive was interesting on the new


Mersive Solstice 3.4, which delivers signage to the meet- ing space. With the new ver- sion, any screen in any meet- ing space can display digital signage content when it’s not being used for collaboration. In addition, the welcome screen that users see when they arrive for a meeting can now be fully customized to show video or static content from a speci- fied digital signage feed. Cus- tomers can opt to show or re- move elements of the welcome screen and display a graphic of their own design simply by creating it as a web page and pointing the pod at the appro- priate URL.


If projectors are your thing, Sony’s first UK showing of their FHZ90 and FHZ120 large ven- ue install projectors are avail- able In black or white, these high bright 3LCD laser models operate at brightness levels of 9,000 or 12,000 lumens (for the FHZ90 and FHZ120 respectively), making them suitable for projecting even in bright outdoor environments. And with the 3LCD Laser en- gine, there’s no need to com- promise between high bright- ness and high resolution. The


Laser engine also helps to ex- tend the projector’s operating life, providing up to 20,000 hours of high-quality projection without the maintenance or costs involved with lamp-based alternatives. The FHZ90 and FHZ120 are perfectly suited to larger ven- ues, medium-sized classrooms or conference rooms. With industry-leading lens shift ad- justment and optional lenses, installation can be as flexible as it needs to be, something which comes especially handy for hard-to-reach placements


FHZ120 is the ability to mem- orise and store up to six differ- ent pre-set configurations for image size, position and aspect ratio, saving valuable time and effort.


Finally, for any installation


where picture quality is of the highest importance, such as in art galleries or projection mapping, Sony’s advanced Re- ality Creation technology will ensure that you always experi- ence the most lifelike images.

Some of the work by Philips’ development partners seems immediately useful, in areas like collaboration, digital sig- nage and room booking, and can be deployed immediately on Philips hardware.
