With the advancement in video, camera, audio technology, and the ability to utilize standard web browsers within existing network infrastructures, videoconferencing has become a popular practice in the SMB environment. Videoconferencing has expanded into markets such as live e-support, video arrangement, engineering design reviews, quality assurance, and telemedicine and made 24/7 support across the globe possible. It is a low cost and effective mode of communication that SMBs are embracing. In fact, your customer and business partners simply expect it.

 

Wainhouse Research has reported that approximately 72% of SMBs reported that they use web conferencing to include participants who can’t attend in person; and 64% of SMBs use web conferencing for new meetings due to cost or timing constraints. The Australian government invested $18.4 million on high-def videoconferencing technology and saved $26 million in travel costs while cutting 7,000 tones in carbon emissions.

 

Videoconferencing is a natural evolution for businesses to increase productivity. It broadens and enables connections to anyone in the world while supporting a greener planet. If your company still hasn’t adopted this culture and are still paying high travel expenses, learn how you can implement videoconferencing here.

Digital signage solution with facial recognition capabilities are being made possible with recent advancements in cameras, processing power and application software. Facial recognition is a turn-key solution that shifts customer engagements from static to proactive, helping retailers interact in a way never before possible. “Sense of sight” intelligence allows a digital sign to extract visual data to gauge the audiences’ gender and age, and associate the results with an advertisement designed for that specific audience. This helps retailers not only deliver more targeted messaging but also translates to a more pleasurable customer experience, longer dwell time and increased engagement.

A South Korean company, SK Telecom, has launched a digital signage solution with facial recognition in a shopping mall in Korea across twenty-six digital signage displays strategically placed at various locations throughout the mall. In preparation for the launch, SK Telecom included 5,000 facial images and an additional 1,000 pieces of key facial features (facial shape, wrinkles, and distance between eyes) associated with age and sex identification in the control pool.  The company plans to spend three to six months to collect traffic volume and pattern information before approaching advertisers to customize ads based on sex and gender.

Intel also launched Intel® Audience Impression Metrics Suite (Intel® AIM Suite) for digital signage solutions; it integrates three intelligent software programs to deliver  impression metrics: Intel® AIM View collects audience demographic data, detects content viewed and viewing duration; Intel® AIM Analytics analyzes the data into a granular level and outputs into easy to understand graphs/charts and CSV formats; Intel® AIM Manage is a sensor management system that remotely manages the operation via the cloud. In addition, to protecting audience privacy, AIM Suite does not record facial images or personal information about the viewer.

Facial recognition technology helps advertisers (from automotive to cosmetics industries) generate more ROI from affectively communicating specific messages within target audiences. ViewSonic is excited about this trend and will continue to evaluate its market potential as it gains momentum. For more information on digital signage solutions, click here.

As we multitask our way through our busy day, why not grocery-shop as we wait for the subway or train? This is what drove Tesco and Peapod to provide virtual grocery stores aimed at on-the-go commuters.

Virtual Grocery Stores are large displays (bill boards or digital signage display) with life sized pictures of common grocery items. Below each item, there is a unique QR barcode associated with the product for shoppers to purchase on the spot with their smartphones and schedule deliveries.

Tesco (South Korea and UK) and Peapod (US) have deployed these virtual grocery stores at public transit hubs like at the airports, subways/train stations, and bus stops, where tens of thousands of commuters gather, to deliver convenient grocery shopping between wait times. Tesco in South Korea and Peapod in US have adopted the static billboard platform, while Tesco in UK deployed interactive digital signage  for a cleaner look and smaller footprint.

According to Tesco, mobile revenue has more than doubled in the past 12 months. Interactive Media in Retail Group projects mobile commerce (m-commerce) to make up around 15% of all online sales by the end of 2012. In addition, a Nielsen survey found that 61% of respondents already use the internet to shop for groceries and one quarter of them plans to purchase groceries online in the next 6 months.

Is the virtual grocery store the next frontier to food shopping for our families in this digital era? We think so. So many commodities are already being purchased online; the virtual grocery store will be one more convent way to tackle our daily to-do list on-the-go and free up our time. We anticipate the static billboard to be upgraded to interactive digital signage very soon as this solution is a much more efficient way to deploy, mange, and lower TCO for business owners.

The desktop display is poised for an amazing evolution as we shift towards the Post-PC era. Virtualization, software-as-a-service (SaaS), cloud-based storage and mobile applications are all becoming predominant in today’s business world as we migrate away from the traditional desktop of yesterday. The enterprise is looking to these zero/thin client solutions to reduce business operating costs, improve productivity and instantly connect to the cloud, the Internet, virtualized environments, web-based apps (such as CRM tools, multimedia presentations or digital dictation solutions), social networks and more.

 

According to a Gartner forecast, global shipments of thin clients are expected to nearly double between 2011 and 2014, while spending on SaaS products is projected to grow more than 50 percent by 2015. Thin client applications can be found in government, call centers, medical offices, schools, airline ticketing and manufacturing plants to enable centrally-managed scalable solutions while lowering Total Cost of Ownership (“TCO”).

 



While zero and thin clients can be cost-effective alternatives to traditional desktop PCs, it is important to note that these solutions are not one-size-fits-all. For instance, certain applications may still require individual desktop PCs for processor-intensive tasks. Multimedia production applications, for example, may require a greater amount of bandwidth that would make a zero/thin client solution cost prohibitive. To help business owners determine the best computing solution for their needs and the key distinctions between the zero/thin vs. traditional desktop PC (thick client), read on for a quick comparison guide from Webopedia™.

 

<emZero/Thin Clients                                               Traditional Desktop PC/Thick Client

 

Easy to deploy requiring no extra or specialized software installation	More expensive and time consuming for IT to deploy
Needs validation with the server after data capture	Data verified by client not server (immediate validation)
If the server goes down, data collection is halted as the client needs constant communication with the server	Only require intermittent communication with server, client/workstation equipped with robust technology and provides better uptime
Cannot be interfaced with other equipment (in plants or factory settings for example)	Can interface with other equipments independently
More potential downtimes	Less potential downtimes
Require less resources on workstation but more on servers	Require more resources on individual client/workstation but less on server
More portable in that All applications are on the server so any workstation can access	Not portable in that most resources are stored on individual client/workstation
Opportunity to use older, outdated PCs as clients	Individual client/workstation needs to be upgraded to newer and more advanced PC to increase performance.
Reduced security threat	Increased security issues

There is a tremendous growth opportunity in zero/thin client solutions afforded by the virtualization of servers, applications and desktops. ViewSonic recognizes this market trend and continues to develop innovative new display solutions to facilitate the cloud transition while offering support of industry standard cloud-based computing protocols including Citrix, VMWare, RDP, RemoteFX and PCoIP. Through these partnerships, any of our traditional desktop displays can be transformed into a smart connected network display and multi-client solution to support businesses and organizations in their efforts to deploy secure, scalable thin client configurations.

Footnote: Gartner’s Global SaaS Spending Report, 1H12 Update (March 2012)

Is your business BYOD–phobic (ie. afraid of the implications around employees bringing their personal devices into the workplace)? We already know that BYOD increases employee satisfaction, boosts work productivity and decreases mobile device costs. We also know that IT security concerns can be addressed with security solutions available on the market. But if your organization is still reluctant to jump on the BYOD program because of the potential variable costs, read on.

Below we have highlighted strategies for businesses to reduce their spending around two key variable expense areas:



Monthly wireless/data plan bill:

• Establish a clear cost ownership and pay scale guideline for the dual-purpose mobile device base on job dependency.


• Pre-negotiate a discounted contract with a single network carrier to achieve cost savings of anywhere from 10 to 20 percent. This can also serve as a perk for employees who use BYOD on employee paid basis.

IT help desk cost:

• Say “no” to supporting and troubleshooting personal device issues that are not business related – for example, problems with non-business apps or network connectivity.


• Establish clear guidelines to determine if an IT problem is a device issue, carrier issue, or business app issue before straining IT resources.


• Allow self-service on routine activities such as policy acceptance, enrollment, adding new apps, etc.

Although BYOD programs consist of many variable costs, there are also many favorable hidden economic values that organizations should be aware of. According to Monica Basso, Research VP at information technology research firm Gartner, BYOD reinforces personal responsibility, as employees are more cost conscious when they are using their own device, including being more sparing when roaming and being less likely to lose their phone. In addition, employees are more willing to invest time to troubleshoot their personal device than to pass it on to the IT help desk, which has the potential to minimize IT help desk labor hours.

What is the right BYOD policy to support your enterprise culture? Share your experiences with us on our blog.

Digital signage solutions provide excellent revenue and margin opportunities for VARs who target the restaurant or QSR vertical. Nowadays, the VAR can benefit by selling signage as a total solution. This is due to the fact that there is margin opportunity in the hardware, installation, potential network configuration, service, and in some cases, content development.

The opportunity for digital signage sales has grown tremendously, and is broader than ever before. Here are just a few of the ways that your customers may be looking to implement these solutions:



Restaurants: We are especially seeing an increase in signage adoption rates by restaurant customers as prices come down and ease of use and simplicity increases. The most common restaurant application is the presentation of menu selections combined with government required nutritional information. This information can be updated in real-time with the use of simple digital signage content management solutions. In addition, promotional information can be added in the case of seasonal menu changes.

Employee training: New opportunities are becoming available with the use of network digital signage in the back office for employee training. Training content can be sent over the internet (WAN) for use by individual restaurant location. This adds benefits to the restaurant owners with lower insurance rates as well as provides the VAR another area of possible margin income.

Retail: Another growing opportunity as the prices and solutions become more affordable is retail. We are seeing smaller screen deployments as consumer information is moving closer to the display case. We have seen this at the POS cash out for some time, for example. We are also beginning to see smaller screen deployments such as 10-, 22-, and 32-inch in retail locations advertising product highlights and benefits. VARs can again benefit by targeting the retail signage vertical with a total solution that consists of screen, content management, network solutions — wired and wireless, and installation services. There are a category of VARs we call systems integrators that specialize in this kind of new business.

While these are the key areas driving today’s digital signage adoption, with the emerging array of add-on solutions (such as integrated mobile device credit card process and audience demography video analytics), the possibilities of digital signage are endless.

Es una pregunta sencilla, ¿realmente necesitamos tecnología para aprender? La respuesta varía dependiendo de la forma en que los instructores utilizan soluciones de tecnología para implementar sus planificación de clases. No importa cómo se utilice la tecnología, una cosa es segura, la tecnología ha transformado definitivamente las posibilidades de enseñanza. Todos lo hemos visto en las películas futuristas: un aula consta de una pantalla multimedia interactiva gigante frente al aula y las mesas de computadora para que los estudiantes trabajen de forma individual o como equipo. El futuro es ahora.

 

Es un hecho conocido que un estudiante comprometido absorbe información de forma más rápida y que la introducción de la tecnología al proceso de aprendizaje estimula a los estudiantes a pensar y aprender de nuevas maneras. Por ejemplo, el Distrito Escolar Kyrene en Arizona ha invertido $33 millones de dólares para renovar sus escuelas con pantallas interactivas, computadoras portátiles, proyectores para aulas, equipos de redes y software para la educación para adaptarse, desde lo visual y cinético, a los diferentes estilos de aprendizaje del estudiante.

 

Through this technology enriched learning, the students of Kyrene School District are now:

 

• using professional writing and editing tools and creative design apps to improve their writing skills and create higher quality PowerPoint presentations


• utilizing personal computers to get their ideas down faster while enabling teachers to edit their work more easily


• able to more conveniently complete and review work as a group using the cooperative technology solution


• participate in internet-based lesson plans for more immediate communication, including the ability to email the teacher completed assignments


• learning math through interactive games such as Alien Addition


• practicing spelling on interactive screens


• experiencing enhanced reading comprehension with interactive reading websites, and taking exams on laptops, with their scores being revealed in minutes.

 

As a result of implementing these advancements, students are able to master academic skills in a fun and creative way. School districts like Kyrene are a perfect example of how the classroom can be used to help students acquire the technological competence that is essential in today’s information technology era. What an exciting time for education!

¿Sabía que hay un mercado de $50 mil millones en los Programas GSA Schedule (Administración de Servicios Generales de EE. UU.) del gobierno federal? Eso es alrededor del 10 por ciento del gasto total de adquisición federal. ¿Sabía que agosto y septiembre son, por tradición, los meses más ocupados del año para las agencias gubernamentales ya que deben tomar decisiones de compra de tecnología para el próximo año (el año fiscal termina el 30 de septiembre)? Si bien este mercado es muy atractivo para las empresas, para calificar para estos programas federales, los productos deben ser compatibles con la Ley de Acuerdos Comerciales (TAA, por sus siglas en inglés) y tener características de productos especiales incluidos en la categoría especializada para aumentar su oportunidad para ganar la licitación.

 

There is great opportunity for resellers to differentiate themselves in the larger monitor bidding process if they fully understand the niche government product features that will distinguish them from the competition under IT Schedule 70. Whether it’s small or large format displays you are considering, before jumping into the TAA compliant display business, make sure you are aware of the following handful of features that will greatly improve the user experience for your buyer: For instance, ViewSonic’s latest small format TAA display models feature a DisplayPort™ input, Eco-mode functionality for reduced power consumption and longer product life, advanced ergonomics, and automatic aspect ratio adjustment. Our large format commercial displays (sizes 42”, 47”, 55” and 65”) offer features including energy saving LED panel technology, a built-in media player for video and signage, slim bezels for eye-catching design, and video-wall-ready capabilities for extended possibilities. The Energy Star®, Eco-mode and LED features give our products an edge to qualify for the monitor product category under the GSA Environmental Program. Government needs smarter technology solutions. Ultra slim designs and Displayport™ features add this advantage. DisplayPort™ is the next generation interface technology replacing DVI, LVDS and VGA and enabling ultra thin displays, higher graphic performance and super fast response time.

 

ViewSonic has merged its 25-year display heritage and expertise to deliver the latest and greatest display technology at the best value along with TAA compliance, to offer our resellers the opportunity to get into the TAA monitor game. Our channel support also offers a variety of programs to support government resellers, including joint-participation for trade shows, bid services and more.

The face of digital signage is rapidly changing, and its advancements in technology are pushing progression right along. Have you heard the term Open Pluggable Specification (OPS)? OPS architecture ties the digital signage ecosystem together with standardized interoperable hardware interface to drive effective component design, development and simplified integration complexity for lower implementation, deployment and management costs. An initiative from Intel®, OPS is a new technology concept that emerged about a year ago.

 



The OPS architecture modularizes the development of digital signage display panels and media players, thereby minimizing the implementation time for installation and eliminating other system complexities. While this clean solution ultimately benefits the integrator and end users, so far, only a few companies have adopted OPS technology. This is likely because people are accustomed to using an external media player (or PC) to run their media content on the signage display. Until the integrators and end users become more and more familiar with the benefits of OPS and industry demand increases, we believe it will still take some time before manufacturers and display OEMs adopt this new standard. However, with a company like Intel serving as the driving force behind this technology, things look very hopeful. Intel has launched multiple scalable intelligent software applications to enhance OPS display capabilities, such as Active Management Technology (AMT), Audience Impression Metrics Suite (AIM), Anonymous Video Analytics (AVA) and Near-Field Communication (NFC).

 

Will OPS architecture adaptation become successful? Only time will tell, but we believe in the benefits it provides.

DisplayNote complements existing interactive projectors, whiteboards, and touch-screen devices, including tablets and smartphones running either Apple® iOS or Android™.

 

The Doceri® software app allows tablet owners to remotely control a PC or Mac that is connected to a display (e.g. projectors and monitors). A duplicate screen is displayed on the tablet to give the user total control and access to their computer desktop from their mobile tablet device. Doceri features interactive functions similar to DisplayNote, allowing the user to draw, write and annotate on the projected content with save and replay functions. Doceri currently doesn’t have the multi-user collaboration mode on their existing version; however this feature will be included in the next release. The existing version currently only works with Apple iOS, but an Android version is coming soon. 

 

Both DisplayNote and Doceri give users the freedom to instantaneously articulate their ideas during a presentation. Whether your need is for education or business, these powerful tools promote collaboration and audience engagement.

Los proyectores de corto alcance están diseñados teniendo en cuenta espacios reducidos en el hogar, el trabajo o la escuela. 

 

Un proyector de corto alcance produce imágenes claras dentro de un espacio limitado debido a la forma física de la lente del proyector, lo que altera la magnitud de la imagen proyectada. En un proyector de corto alcance, se usa una lente convexa para mostrar una imagen más ancha que con una lente de alcance regular. Como resultado, una lente de tiro corto puede tener una relación de 0,5:1, capaz de proyectar una imagen diagonal de 60 pulgadas desde tan solo 2 pies de distancia, mientras que una lente estándar tiene una relación de alcance de 1,6:1, capaz de proyectar el mismo tamaño de imagen desde 6,5 pies de distancia. Visite nuestra calculadora de distancia interactiva aquí para determinar si un corto alcance es la mejor opción para su espacio.

 

¿Por qué otra razón debería considerar un proyector de corto alcance? Muchos proyectores de corto alcance ofrecen mínimo agotamiento por calor y en la atmósfera para una máxima participación de la audiencia en salas pequeñas. No hay puntos de acceso cuando se proyecta sobre una pizarra, debido a la corta distancia de proximidad, la posición de montaje del proyector se eleva o se coloca por debajo de la pizarra blanca para proyectar la imagen en un ángulo muy pronunciado, lo que elimina el brillo que se genera por la pizarra.

InfoComm 2012 ha llegado a su fin el viernes 15 de junio. Tres días parecían el tiempo suficiente para que cualquiera pudiera cubrir todo el piso del espectáculo, con una amplia gama de nuevos productos exhibidos. Para aquellos profesionales y aficionados AV que no tienen la oportunidad de visitar InfoComm, hemos destacado a continuación algunas de las tendencias tecnológicas más importantes.

 

Cuando se trata de la proyección, la tecnología de iluminación híbrida láser/LED es el tema más candente en torno a la industria de AV Pro. Este nuevo avance tecnológico permite al proyector manipular la luz y las imágenes sin necesidad de utilizar la lámpara o una rueda de color. Esto resulta en un color más saturado a un costo reducido y ecológico.

 

Desde una perspectiva de las pantallas, las capacidades táctiles están en una curva de crecimiento rápido. Parece que cualquier persona con una pantalla en su stand tenía una oferta táctil. ViewSonic no fue ajeno a esta tendencia, y exhibió varios dispositivos táctiles incluida la tecnología eBeam Edge^®, que convierte cualquier pantalla en un dispositivo táctil.

 

La interactividad es posible gracias a las últimas soluciones plug and play que cambiarán la forma en que los comerciantes desarrollen y administren el contenido. Debido a que mostrar contenido atractivo se hace aún más fácil y rápido, los comerciantes podrán atraer a los clientes como nunca antes.
