AV-enhanced corporate infrastructure boosts efficiency and productivity
See latest pro Audio-Visual systems from international and emerging Asian AV brand leaders at InfoComm Asia 2010 (www.infocomm-asia.com), Asia's largest trade show dedicated to professional audiovisual, information communication and systems integration.
(Hong Kong, 27 July 2010) Many corporations have come to realize the important role Audio Visual communication systems play in enhancing operational efficiency and employee productivity. The scope for AV use in corporate operations has widened, as AV Technology advances and increasingly integrates with Information Technology - from information management and presentation to collaborative conferencing and enterprise automation.
The Corporate AV scenario
From the moment an employee steps into the office lobby, piped-in music or sound-masking systems, as the case may be, can soothe frayed nerves from the morning rush hour traffic; digital signboards or videowalls display important announcements or daily highlights so all personnel know at a glance major happenings in the company; regional meetings can be set up quickly without the need for cross border traveling, with state-of-the-art telepresence conference systems in the boardroom, saving time and money; seamless integration of computer networks, web access, and projection and display systems make information sharing and presentation quick and effortless, enabling timely and informed decision making; and a central command for office security and environmental monitoring allows employees to work in comfort and with greater peace of mind.
International and emerging Asian manufacturers
Such a scenario is fast becoming commonplace in Asian enterprises, with many AV manufacturers extending their product and service offerings in Asia. Companies like Digital Projection, Da-Lite and Elite Screens have fitted many boardrooms with state-of-the-art projection and screen systems for high impact presentations; Verrex, Beyerdynamics, ClearOne, ClockAudio and Taiden bring their conferencing and telepresence expertise; ONELAN and Cayin offer their digital signage solutions; and AMX and Crestron provide hardware and software controllers to seamlessly integrate the various AV and enterprise automation systems for efficient and user-friendly operation.
These companies will join some 320 international and emerging Asian AV manufacturers and suppliers at
InfoComm Asia 2010, Asia's own technology forum for pro AV and information communication. InfoComm Asia 2010 will be held from 17-19 November at the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre. Corporate CIOs and AV/IT managers will be able to check out and consult with the manufacturers on suitable applications for their needs. Other AV systems suppliers at InfoComm Asia 2010 with corporate applications include Creator, Dehao Electronics, Draper, Gefen, Projectiondesign, Sennheiser and Tranzendia.
Learning Opportunities
In addition to the trade exhibition, Asian corporate personnel can also avail themselves to learning opportunities offered at the
InfoComm Asia 2010 Summit. The Summit Program covers educational seminars, manufacturers' presentations and industry-focused conferences, as well as site visits to see actual AV installations. Of particular interest will be the Industry Conference with topics such as AV Survival Guide for the IT Professional, Planning for Telepresence at Your Business, and Terrorism Risks in Asia + Corporate Risk Mitigation. Delegates can also benefit from the planned site visit to the ALiVE exhibition at the Hong Kong Science Park.
An acronym for Applied Laboratory for Interactive Visualization and Embodiment, the ALiVE exhibition (
www.cityu.edu.hk/scm/alive) offers a unique occasion to experience nine spectacular immersive environments at the frontiers of art and science. It features ground-breaking innovations in panoramic 3D cinema, embodied architecture, games and animation, digital humanities, distributed media, interactive visualization and simulation. This is City University of Hong Kong's imaginative new research incubator and showcase for innovations in creative media, building on world famous research achievements that have been made over recent years at the ZKM Centre for Art and Media in Karlsruhe, the UNSW iCinema Research Centre in Sydney and Museum Victoria in Melbourne.
There will also be a 2-day workshop by
SynAudCon, an audio training resource organization dedicated to providing practical, in-depth training on the principles of audio and acoustics. The session titled
Professional Sound System Design: A Practical Approach will help participants to gain more confidence in the systems they designed by learning the most critical elements of the design process. Loudspeaker sensitivity, headroom considerations, device selection and placement, arrays, acoustic interference, the room impulse response (RIR) are some of the topics which will be covered in this
SynAudCon workshop.
