  2. What Does Collaboration mean to you?

  3. Early Days of COLLABORATION: • * Transparencies! 35mm slide projector, a VCR? • * Conferences calls from phones & desk style • units (star shaped speaker phones) • * 2 way Video Conferencing (video & sound) • * Multi-location Video Conferencing & with • document sharing from Word files, • Excell/ppt/photos/CAD drawings) • * Interactive White Boards w/video projectors • * All stand alone solutions!

  4. Parts & Pieces: • VTC: Video Tele-Conferencing (Codec) System includes camera & microphone(s) with built in basic echo cancellation + network interface. • Audio Conferencing: (Audio only) Smart phones and desktop calling devices. • Interactive White-boarding: Annotating overtop of a document or illustration. Anything running on your network device can be part of the meeting with certain systems... • Software Components: Tying Web-X , Microsoft Link, Go to Meeting type users to the Colab session!

  5. Parts & Pieces: • DSP: Digital Signal Processing (Audio) • What makes a good meeting sound good! • Dual Touch - Screen: Electronic digital interface to allow you to use your fingers to navigate “the system” from the display. • Cloud Based Systems: (software) Utilize the Cloud or the network to link users together. This style of collab is purchased by the “Bandwidth” requirement of the meeting. (resolution levels and number of participants.) Web-X, Link, Go to Meeting, etc.

  6. What’s Important? • Good AUDIO! Use DSP’s and HQ Mics for larger applications • HD Picture Quality! With high resolution images from computers & document sharing. • Easy to navigate control system via a touch panel. Easy transitions between modes.

  7. Future Proof Spaces Connectrac!

  8. Bandwidth: • * IT Departments are now in charge of indicating which technologies can be used • * Tying multiple locations together requires higher amounts of bandwidth especially with cloud style services to “Collaborate” • * IT backbones are now typically on a 10 Gig switch with fiber back planes! 40 Gig systems are next… What’s in your wallet?

  9. Collaboration Technologies: • * Wired Approach – least expensive – useful limited effectiveness… • * Wireless connectivity to the display! One way – offers multiple users to display their device • * Push / Pull technologies & BYOB support!

  10. Collaboration Technologies: • * Multi-Format support in one package! Some use licensed software (restricted ) • Others “Open Architecture” software

  11. Collaboration – a Wired Approach • Wired systems include table box connectivity along with automatic switchers to route HDMI & VGA signals to a display… • Companies like FSR, Extron and others have systems available like this.

  12. Collaboration – a Wireless Approach • One way wireless connection in a room • to a display. • Up to 100 feet away from base unit • Up to 25 participants with a “USB Dongle”

  13. Collaboration – Push / Pull Networked Technology • Uses in house wireless & LAN based networks • - allows shared content from everyone’s device via a dedicated hardware box & server based software . True BYOD!

  14. Collaboration – Multi Format – Combined Meeting Rooms • Highest priced approach to “Collaboration” • Systems could include a VTC Codec farm, Dual 70 inch displays, full document sharing from devices, live camera & DSP supported microphone/speakers (echo cancellation), control system with touch panel to combine multiple rooms in same building or across campus or town.

  15. Collaboration – Multi Format – Smaller Meeting Rooms • Medium priced approach to “Collaboration” • Systems include VTC, Dual Touch 60 & 70 “ inch displays, interactive whiteboard & annotation capability with documents - locally or from another system! • Add phone callers & Web-X style meetings to same session. • Systems can be in multiple locations • 70” displays good for up to 15 people (or so…) Welcome Michael Linacre
