becomes recognised.
However, the Hitachi Cambridge Board also offers the ability for up to 40 +

Video conferencing has been a feature in large corporate companies for a
while, however high purchase costs and high running costs (several ISDN
lines for quality) has meant it has been out of reach of most potential users.
However, as IP based systems and broadband connectivity has improved,
pricing has dropped and quality systems such as the Aethra range are well
within the reach of everyone.
Aethra units offer excellent performance, the ability to mix IP and ISDN, multi-
point conferencing as well as external images (e.g. visualiser) and computer
presentation capability.

Networked Digital Signage means that any number of screens of any size can
have content display controlled from any point nationally or internationally.
Information can be in the form of presentations, pictures, video and more. This
system can be used for instant messaging as well as scheduled changes
meaning a reduced requirement to visit individual sites and a long term saving
in paper signage and information systems.
