Audio and visual

In an age where many organisations do business in the global theatre, the importance of video conferencing has never been more significant. It stands to reason that important meetings cannot always be conducted on a face to face basis, time and distance simply doesn’t allow for it and for this reason alone video conferencing is a vital cog in the wheel of modern day business operations. And of course for any outfit that’s conscious of reducing travel costs and their carbon footprint, the advantages of this state of the art technology are more than a little obvious. With the help of an audio visual technician, reducing costs, carbon footprints and hosting global meetings from the comfort of a purpose built facility has never been easier and that’s a promise!

Global meetings take on a whole new level of interaction when the user has remote technology at their fingertips and once experienced there will most definitely be no looking back.

Working to create something truly inspirational

In the meeting/training room environment the overall ambience of the space in question has a large role to play in the success of the package as a whole. And when you hire our outfit to come up with a state of the art set up for you, we’ll take all factors into consideration, when it comes to creating something that can best be described as inspirational. Perhaps you only use the meeting room periodically and in this instance mobile multimedia carts make an awful lot of sense, after all what’s the point of investing in a state of the art product if it’s only going to receive limited exposure? To avoid costly mistakes we like to work closely with our clients and in this way the audio visual installation is guaranteed to be a success for all concerned. Naturally, to ensure seamless integration, it’s always best to install screens and other devices at the start of any building projects, not only does this save money in the long run, but the end results are always going to be superior.

More about AV

Digital signage is quickly becoming the largest growth sector within the audio visual market place. What is digital signage? Well it allows an organisation to maximise the investment in any display devise and effectively transmit clear and concise messages to both staff and visitors.

By splitting the screen in to designated areas such as video/TV (BBC News 24), flash animation (rotating logo), ticker tape information (welcome message), HTML files (links to web pages) as well as an array of PC based information, a single screen becomes a powerful tool to deliver any organisations image or corporate message.

The advantages of digital signage include the rapid ability to update content, and the ability to deliver specific messages to specific audiences in specific locations. Depending on the solution, this can be offered on a single screen or a totally bespoke solution that can be zoned and distributed over a wide area network.

Ideal for reception areas as well as any location where people congregate.

When considering fitting your meeting environments with multi media solutions, it can prove a challenge to decide which rooms would be best suited. Solutions such as presentation devises or video conferencing may be needed in all environments, but only on an ad-hoc basis. If these facilities are installed permanently in a room, and this room is in use for a simple face to face meeting, the investment in this equipment is sitting idle whilst in smaller meeting rooms colleagues are trying to make do with flip charts and dry white boards.

The answer is to install the equipment onto a mobile multi media cart. This can range from a simple mobile flat screen on a trolley, up to a bespoke item of furniture designed to meet the growing demands of modern meeting room space. This allows any organisation to offer their meeting room facilities a degree of flexibility both with the use of multi media displays as well as video conferencing solution.

Offering a refreshing alternative to traditional fixed audio visual systems, the fully mobile presentation systems, are cleverly designed for use with best of breed multimedia and display technologies. These stylish units seamlessly blend in with any meeting environment; creating a new generation presentation experience.

As well as the design and installation of audio visual solutions, Visual Synergy will also give advice on the room environment. The room finish and furnishings can have an impact on the quality of image on the screen and audio levels, it is therefore important that if the audio visual installation is being done as part of a building project that all areas are discussed at an early stage. During this process other contractors will be engaged to ensure that every aspect of the room is considered and expectations meet.

This becomes even more critical once video conferencing is introduced in to a room, textures, colours, finishes and lighting must be taken into consideration to ensure that the video system is going to deliver the desired effect.

The investment in to video equipment only becomes good value for money if the systems are user friendly and are used regularly, if the room settings are not designed round a video call the perceived experience will be poor and the system not used to its full potential.

Computers have become such an integral part of our lives, it’s hard to imagine writing reports, conducting research or delivering presentations without them. But whilst computers equip us at our desks and laptops keep us connected on the road, most group spaces are completely devoid of technology. Wouldn’t it make sense to have access to your computer, multimedia equipment and software packages from your meeting room or boardroom?

That’s where SMART Interactive products come in.

With a SMART interactive whiteboard, you can access and control computer-based information in the meeting room simply by pressing on the interactive whiteboard’s touch-sensitive surface.

The way we live today and travel to meet face-to-face is not sustainable. Throughout the world, leaders, organisations and individuals are carefully considering the impact of carbon emissions on the environment. Video communication provides an alternative to air and road travel and can be part of an environmental carbon offset or reduction initiative. Today’s IT manager is working to track miles travelled by the organisation and how this can be reduced or offset by other collaboration tools.

If your business has multiple offices, you may have to occasionally partake in conference calls or regional meetings in which multiple members of the team have to travel to a specific location to take part. Often there will be a certain amount of paperwork which must be distributed beforehand. Think of how much time and money you could save if you were able to have most of your meetings via video, with all relevant information displayed on the screen and a true interactivity among the people at different locations. Video conferencing can allow users to see and hear all points raised as well as any information that you choose to display. All without travel or excessive preparation beforehand.

Just as video conferencing can assist you with inter-office meetings and conference calls, it can also make dealing with business partners, investors, and those potentially interested in your company much easier… especially if those partners are located abroad or have a business office that isn’t close to your central office. By utilising video conferencing you can discuss important business matters without having to schedule meetings and arrange travel.

Video conferencing eliminates costs, headaches, and hassles associated with gathering employees together for meetings. Decisions can be reached more quickly, reduced travel time and therefore reduced travelling expenses, and employees are more productive. Video conferencing benefits everyone involved, and it also benefits your bottom line.
