CSI donates scan converter to Smithsonian

WASHINGTON, DC-The future is now at the EDS Center at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History in Washington, thanks to recent donations from several computer peripheral and software manufacturers, including Communications Specialties, Inc. of Hauppauge, NY.

CSI donated a Scan Do 1024 scan converter to the institution for use in the Information Age exhibit's Final Theater. Because of CSI's donation, now Internet and both PC and Macintosh computer-based presentations can be shown on the media wall in the exhibit and controlled from the show floor. Prior to the remodeling of the exhibit, control of the presentation was physically removed from the theater itself, making operation complicated and time consuming.

"When the Smithsonian contacted us regarding this exhibit, I was thrilled," said Tedd Jacoby, Communications Specialties' national accounts manager. "The Scan Do 1024 is known in the industry for its reliability and flexibility and I believe it will serve the institution well for years to come."

CSI is recognized nationally for innovations in computer-video technology. CSI designs and manufactures a full line of video scan converters, a selection of distribution amplifiers, VGA monitor, keyboard and mouse extenders and fiber optic products.
