Training Rooms:Made Better byLatest Technology
In most companies, the conference room is a technology-free island. Most conference rooms consist of a table, a few chairs, overhead lights, and possibly a whiteboard. But meeting rooms are changing as IP TV technology evolves… and no area of business will be left behind.
Another standard in IP TV for boardrooms is a digital projector. For those that frequently use PowerPoint presentations as a meeting tool, a projector is an utter necessity. A digital projector will display any computer application on a white board or screen (or even a light-colored wall), helping you to share information, presentations, even digital films or satellite tv. While in the past, digital projectors used to be prohibitively expensive, especially for smaller companies, their price of IP TV is falling as technology advances, making them an easily obtainable addition to the meeting audio visual system of any corporation.
A new variation on the electronic white board is the PDP, or Plasma Display Panel. A plasma display panel is in essence a huge, but much slimmer, flat-screen television or computer monitor. PDPs are usually 42″ to 50″, and have a very clear, bright screen, making them great for video conferencing. Since PDPs are a comparatively new addition to the IP TV market, they’re also very costly, ranging from about $8,000 to $20,000. For around $4,000 more, companies can invest in an interactive overlay for the PDP. This is a comparatively small investment when compared to the price of the PDP and when bearing in mind the many practical uses of a PDP with an interactive overlay. An interactive overlay will put in touch sensibility and annotation abilities, permitting you to use your PDP just like an interactive whiteboard.
