| Tech Showcase - December 03, 2013 | Videoconferencing Systems and Cameras
With Bennett Liles
It wasn't all that long ago that a videoconference was the visual equivalent of a 1960s Transatlantic phone call. How times have changed. Special high-speed data lines and teams of technicians have morphed into a tabletop box or a wall-mounted flatpanel display with an integrated camera, taking its place among the framed photographs or paintings in the room. Data sharing, multi-preset PTZ cameras, and increasingly sophisticated echo cancellation have made communication quick and easy with only a button push or two needed to make the connection.

| | WEBINAR | AV-over-IP: ProAV for a Networked World
As with many other technologies and industries, analog solutions are giving way to digital. The technology for the convergence of AV and IT is field-proven and being increasingly deployed for pro AV applications. While it may sound complex, deploying AV-over-IP can be as simple as plug-and-play for extending HD video over a LAN to one or more screens. With Ethernet networking, scalability is virtually limitless, distance limitations are eliminated, and image and audio quality are maintained. And without the need for dedicated cabling, installation can be faster, easier, and less expensive. REGISTER FOR THIS EVENT » |
