For remote attendees:

  • integrated audio conferencing
  • integrated video conferencing
  • software solutions (i.e. GoToMeeting)

 
The display system consists of three projectors and electric screens on three walls. Wired display sources can operate both VGA with audio and HDMI connections. In addition to the wired sources, there are three wireless connections that allow multiple users to connect to the projectors with a laptop, tablet or smart phone.

We have excellent audio capabilities for both internal and remote participants via pendant style ceiling speakers and wireless microphones.

A single wireless touch panel controls all AV equipment statuses: on/off, volume, source selection, and environmental controls including lighting and shades. This allows presenters to move freely about the room rather than being tied to a podium.
