When officials at West Chester University (WCU) were looking to adapt a virtual education model, they turned to IMS Technology Services to engineer a solution that most closely simulated in-person learning or better. IMS evaluated several options and ultimately designed and implemented a system based around the CV610-UB USB PTZ camera from Marshall Electronics.

“The classrooms at WCU were designed and built for in-person learning and had to adapt to become a backdrop for virtual learning,” says William Kiley, technical advisor, IMS. “The primary factors in IMS’ selection of the CV610-UB were its degree of flexibility, ease of use and excellent image quality. We have been spec’ing Marshall cameras for many years and knew it would be a perfect solution for this application.”

C2G Address HDMI Extension Challenges and Solutions in New White Paper

In home_page, Image, Industry News, Uncategorized, Video/Broadcast, Video/Broadcast Industry News, Web Articlesby admin

C2G is providing AV integrators with an in-depth look at the challenges of extending HDMI connectivity beyond its 15-meter passive connectivity limitation in its latest white paper “Ghost in the HDMI Machine,” written by Legrand’s AV Technology Evangelist Joseph D. Cornwall, CTS-D/I. Available for download here, the white paper dives into why this high-bandwidth connection is sensitive to a number of issues arising from manufacturing decisions and installation environmental conditions and how integrators can ensure dependable operation of client’s media solutions.

“HDMI is both the single most significant connection — and challenge — of 21st century AV design,” said Cornwall. “While we’ve certainly come a long way since the inception of this technology, there are still times when a well-done installation mysteriously runs aground. At that moment, it’s often difficult to pinpoint the source of the problem. That may lead to some intensive hours spent troubleshooting and ordering equipment. This white paper is the result of our intensive research and analysis and exposes what lies at the heart of many HDMI extension problems — proper application of power. Our goal is to help integrators anticipate, avoid, and address HDMI issues efficiently and effectively.”
