MAIN SYSTEMS

These have become the standard aid product for classrooms allowing
the user to project their computer images or external DVD / VCR /
Document Camera etc onto the main screen
Used in conjunction with an Interactive Whiteboard or Panel -
they provide the ultimate enhancement.
. |
Remember - proper installation is vital for ease of use,
security and the health and safety of all :
* Full Installation- best option for stability
although boards can be stand mounted /
should include cabling for VCR / DVD
and visualiser etc.
* Options can include ultra short throw
and retractable projector mounts into
the ceiling
.

For large rooms such as lecture theatres, cinemas and halls, large
screens are required to provide the optimised image size for all the
audience to view.
Whether fixed, drop or hidden, manual or motorised Phoenix AV are able
to recommend, supply and install a wide range of solutions.

The majority of major IWB brands have a version of the Interactive Panel
with their own compatible software.
The user interacts with the panel in the same way as an interactive board,
the image being projected via the projector or a standard screen
An alternative to the IWB, it allows for:
* Projection to larger standard screen
* Panel to be placed at convenient location
(e.g. lecturer / presenters desk / side of room)
* Shorter users have easy access to the panel
.
|
You will still need to consider
* Data Video Projector
- preferably ceiling
mounted and stable (brand is not relevant
to panel choice)
or
* Full Installation- best option for stability
although boards can be stand mounted
/ should include cabling for VCR / DVD
and speakers
An alternative is to utilise the panel as part of a mobile
solution such as the Moby-Go Trollywhich encases
the computer, projector and panel in one cabinet.

IP based video conferencing system have virtually nil cost of ownership
and with excellent communication capability including computer
presentations and external cameras.
No longer the highly expensive systems they were, these are now a
superb enhancement to any company improving communications whilst
reducing costs.

Avoid the embarrassment of double booking rooms or failing to book /
barging into wrong meetings or arguments about time.
Room scheduling systems such as the RoomWizard offer a network
based booking solution with a visual touch screen indicator outside every
room.
Looks smart, easy to operate and with a host of features allowing you to
search for a room within your organisation online from any location either
by size, capacity or features as well. Have the system inform your guests
automatically including reminders.

Getting the sound right is important and requires expertise - the type of
expertise we have here within our engineers.
Whether for general sound, speech, cinema sound-surround or PA
systems, we can advise, supply and install.

If you have a number of visitors or different users within a room, keeping
an eye on remote controls or understanding what operates what can be
fraught with problems and losses.
Simple remote control systems can be included in any install offering
simple to understand one touch operation for a number of facilities
including AV equipment, screens, blinds and lighting.

PERIPHERALS & ACCESSORIES
|
|
|
These offer the user greater flexibility and freedom of movement within a
room, allowing them to operate their PC / interactive software from any
location.
>
|
Some brands offer their own versions complete with
their own software (Promethean, SMART, Sahara,
GCTO). There are however 'neutral' systems that will
work with any computer and any loaded software.
|
|
|
Wide variation of available systems, brands and models.
Should be a feature of any meeting room with a projector or screen.
.
|
All rooms with installed projection systems should
have the capability to project VCR / DVD images and
films through the projector onto a big screen.
|
|
|
A simple but fun way to create greater interactivity within a large theatre
Where a response is desirable from the audience but perhaps numbers
preclude normal avenues, the Response Systems offer an excellent
method of assessing opinions and getting a quick and accurate response
from your audience.
. |
Voting systems can be used for:
* Fun games and learning sessions
* Assessing class learning
* Confirming lesson assimilation
* Testing and collating marks etc
|
|
|
Excellent addition to any meeting room.
Offering greater flexibility than a document camera, a Visualiser will have
better optics, illumination and extra functionality allowing the tutor project
small object detail, images, 3D objects, documents, transparencies and
pictures onto a big screen.
Options also include ceiling mounted visualisers with high gain, powerful
lenses.
.
|
Normally connected to the computer and operated by
it, some systems will allow for the images to be
captured into the computer where they can be saved
/ annotated on etc.
Some interactive boards have as part of their
software the ability to capture images from document
cameras directly into their notebook features.
