2024’s Spectrum of AV: Tune-Up of Commercial and Education Technology

2024’s Spectrum of AV: Tune-Up of Commercial and Education Technology

Welcome to the ever-evolving world of audio visual (AV) technology, where classrooms hum with innovation and shop windows entice with interactive wonder. As 2024 kicks off, Australia’s education and commerce sectors are poised to witness exciting trends that will reshape the way we learn, do business and shop.

Education Ascends: Imagine classrooms where AR dinosaurs roam hallways and the periodic table explodes into an interactive ballet. This year, Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) are no longer futuristic fantasies, but powerful tools poised to ignite student engagement. Picture personalized AI tutors adapting to individual learning styles, offering wisdom like seasoned academic guides. Collaboration soars with upgraded video conferencing platforms, boasting crystal-clear connections and immersive breakout rooms that bridge physical and virtual spaces.

BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) 2.0: It’s no longer just about bringing your own device; it’s about bringing your own ecosystem. Seamless integration of personal devices with AV systems is the new norm. Whether you’re in a bustling classroom or a dynamic commercial space, new-world AV setups will sync effortlessly with your preferred tech companions.

Sustainable AV Solutions: Sustainability isn’t just a trend; it’s a movement, and the AV industry is proudly stepping up. Sustainability in AV (SAVe) is the first industrywide organisation to bring stakeholders in the audio visual (AV) field together to take concerted action to achieve the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Energy-efficient displays, eco-friendly materials, and a commitment to reducing the carbon footprint – because being cutting-edge doesn’t mean leaving a hefty one.

AI-Powered Analytics for Smarter Spaces: In 2024, it’s not just about seeing; it’s about understanding. AI is the magician behind the scenes, turning raw data from AV systems into actionable insights. From optimising classroom layouts based on student engagement to fine-tuning commercial spaces for productivity, the AV landscape is getting smarter.

The Rise of Hybrid Everything: Work, learn, collaborate – the hybrid model is here to stay. AV solutions are evolving to seamlessly accommodate both physical and virtual participants. Whether you’re in the boardroom, lecture hall, or home office, the experience remains consistently top-notch.

The Vision One Perspective: At Vision One Technologies, we’re not just spectators, we’re architects of this audio visual evolution. We understand the transformative power of these trends and are committed to helping our education and commercial partners leverage them to achieve remarkable results. Whether it’s designing immersive learning experiences or crafting captivating commercial or retail environments, we’re your trusted partner in navigating this exciting technological landscape.

Epson’s Latest Laser Projector is a Portable 3.8-Metre Screen

Epson’s Latest Laser Projector is a Portable 3.8-Metre Screen

This article was taken from The Sydney Morning Herald

Setting up a shoddy old projector next to the Hills Hoist for a backyard movie night with a white sheet as a screen is a part of Aussie culture. The catchily-named EF-100, Epson’s new portable laser projector, is here to make that experience a bit fancier.

At 210mm x 270mm x 88mm and 2.7kg it’s extremely portable. As long as you have access to a power point, and the courage to transport your projector there, you can use this thing anywhere.

It’s also extremely easy to set up. Once it’s plugged in it just needs some kind of HMDI video source, and it’s even got a USB port built in to power a device such as a Google Chromecast. It has a built-in 5W speaker, but if you’ve spent $1699 on a projector you can probably also spring for quality speakers or headphones (there’s a 3.5mm jack and Bluetooth).

The throw distance is reasonable; to get a 60-inch (1.5-metre) display you’ll need to set the unit 1.8-metres from the screen. The WXGA resolution is comparable to HD, so you probably don’t want to sit closer than 2.5m to that 60-inch screen anyway. The maximum screen size is 150 inches (3.8 metres), but you’ll need a lot of room to make it work.

What I was really impressed with was the brightness of the screen. In a reasonably dark room, with some daylight coming through the side of the curtains, I could enjoy Supergirl perfectly. But it was watching Legends of Tomorrow with the curtains open, on an admittedly cloudy winter’s day, that made this projector seem completely worth its high price; the show still looked great. At 2000 lumens, this thing is bright. Bright enough to make me concerned about the cleanliness of the wardrobe door I was projecting it on.

Even the colours looked great in the bright room. Sure, there was definitely a lot details missing from darker scenes, but it was still far better than you’d ever expect from a portable projector. Epson claims a dynamic contrast ratio in excess of 2,500,000:1.

Because this is a laser projector there’s no expensive bulb to replace, just an air filter every few years, which significantly lowers the barrier to entry.

It also runs really quietly, with a quoted max fan volume of 29db, which falls somewhere between “rustling leaves” and “quiet rural area” on the comparable noise scale. Or, if you find it hard to picture quiet rustling leaves, it’s about one 16th as loud as a vacuum cleaner, which is not very loud at all.

If money is just enough of an object that 4K projectors aren’t an option, but not so much of an object that you can afford having a good TV and a portable projector, this is absolutely the one to buy.

UAE- Epson’s education solutions demonstrated at GESS pave way for more collaborative, interactive and dynamic classrooms.

(MENAFN – Dubai PR Network) Dubai, UAE; 24 February 2019: Epson’s market leading solutions for the modern classrooms on display at the Global Educational Supplies and Solutions (GESS) from February 26th 28th, makes learning more efficient as they connect collaborative groups, and empower both teachers and students.

On display at GESS are Epson’s bright full HD Projector EB-990U that offers multiple connectivity solutions; EB-710UI, which offers ultra-bright 100-inch Full HD images, and a set of collaboration and sharing tools to make creating engaging lessons easier; and WorkForce Pro WF-C869RD3TWFC printer that prints up to 84,000 pages without having to replace the ink, and uses up to 95 percent less power than competitive color lasers.

Jeroen Van Been, Director of Sales, Epson Europe B.V says: ‘At Epson, we understand education, and our solutions take into account the collaborative, technology driven classrooms of today. Our interactive display solutions provide a scalable image size, so every student gets a perfect view without losing image quality or needing constant zoom adjustment. Having the right sized image for a room can make a huge difference to levels of concentration, enjoyment and understanding. Our 3LCD technology combines high resolution, brightness up to 8,000 lumens for dedicated education sector projectors. We also have projectors with lumens up to 25,000 for other sectors. Our technology provides rich colours to produce vivid, engaging images even in brightly lit classrooms. Teachers can easily move around the room and effortlessly share Chromebook content with wireless connection to the classroom’s interactive display.

‘GESS, being the region’s foremost event to learn and experience the best solutions for teachers and students, is the ideal event for us to showcase our products and technology’, adds Jeroen.

Epson’s EB-990U projector, on display at GESS, is a full HD projector offering 3,800 lumens. With the iprojection app, it is easy to display content from PCs and smart devices. It comes with 16W speakers that provides powerful sound even in large rooms and removes the need for additional speakers, saving both time and money. A microphone input is also available.

Another highlight at the Epson stand is EB-710UI. It is a multi-PC projection software that allows teachers and students to share content simultaneously. The projector ensures that students can read everything on the screen with the interactive ultra-short-throw laser display solution, delivering collaborative lessons on a large scalable display to promote greater sharing and participation in the classroom. The moderator function allows teachers to remain in control, choosing what student content to display. It comes with a dual-pen and finger-touch annotation for easy control.

Time and cost savings are important to the education sector and Epson’s WorkForce Pro WF-C869RD3 TWFC, on showcase at GESS, saves on energy. Reduce waste with this reliable 4-in-1 business MFP, featuring predictable printing costs and low user intervention. The printer features a range of software and tools that provide secure printing options, efficient scanning and helps to manage devices remotely.

Epson will be present at stand B30, Sheikh Saeed Hall, DWTC.
