Video conference meeting rooms have grown larger in size to accommodate an increase in the number of participants.
Along with this growth comes an increase in the number of multimedia devices necessary to conduct video conferencing; TVs, projectors, cameras, matrix switchers, DSPs and the list goes on.
Each of these multimedia devices comes with its own remote control and herein lies the dilemma.
The multitude of remote controls complicates simple operation of the room.
End users can be overwhelmed trying to figure out which remote control needs to be used to conduct their meeting.
IT departments are obliged to provide written instructions.
This can result in a major loss of productivity as end users struggle to decipher how to operate the room.
APAV control systems solve this problem by consolidating all those remote controls into a user-friendly interface that can be operated from a touch panel display.
A single button on the interface can be programmed to “start the room” by turning all displays on, setting room volume to any desired level and starting conferencing apps like Google Meet or Zoom.
Routing sources to displays from the interface is as simple as touching a source button and touching the desired display button.
Navigation pads allow easy control of camera PTZ (pan, tilt, zoom) functions.
A single button on the interface can be programmed to “quit the room” turning all equipment off when the meeting is completed.
And if users forget to press the “quit the room” button at the end of their meeting programming can be added to do it automatically after any desired amount of time extending the life of your multimedia equipment.
So, to maximize user productivity and product longevity APAV control systems are a must have for your video conferencing rooms.
