Touch and go - What's new … in presentation systems & products
University Business, Dec, 2002
The worlds of multimedia and videoconferencing collide in a new product created by Tandberg and Crestron. The Director, which is useful for distance education and in large lecture halls, offers on-screen touch capabilities for multimedia presentations and videoconferencing-in a single unit. Powered by a Crestron DVP4 control system, users can display multiple real-time images simultaneously from VCRs, DVDs, document cameras, or PCs. The DVP4 powers the touchpanel interface, which allows users to manage the presentation from the Director's 67-inch touch-sensitive screen, which also functions as a whitebeard or a high-resolution interactive control panel installed on a lectern or podium. The Director is delivered in a self-contained rear-projection cabinet that includes an XGA LCD projector. The system also features Tandherg's AudioScience microphone, a ceiling-mounted unit with a large pick-up range. Price: $62,000. See www.crestron.com.
