Grant's Perspective on ... YouTube videos on using third party software with the Sharp interactive Aquos monitor.
Our Sharp representative sent me some links to YouTube tutorial videos outlining how to use PowerPoint, GoToMeeting and Splashtop when displaying and interacting with a Sharp Aquos board. The interactive Aquos monitors have been very popular in boardrooms, training facilities and classrooms so more and more people will be interested in getting the most from their display.

Was David Roentgen a Crestron Programmer?
Grant's Perspective on ... David Roentgen's secret drawers and moving cabinets included easels.
My brother sent me a link to The Metropolitan Museum of Art website and the Roentgens' Berlin Secretary Cabinet YouTube video (posted below). While David Roentgen (1743-1807) obviously was not a Crestron programmer, I certainly was intrigued by his cabinet. You push or pull a knob and a series of hidden compartments would be revealed. When I saw an easel appear, I laughed and thought that this guy was into multimedia!
Enjoy the YouTube video below as we close out August and start September with a long weekend to say goodbye to the summer of 2013.

Sharp Aquos Interactive Touchscreen Training Video
Grant's Perspective on ... the new Sharp Aquos monitor training video.
Sharp has posted a good training video that will be of value to anyone who uses this technology. We have been installing these monitors in boardrooms, training facilities and classrooms and the clients love them.

Music Reduces Pain & Distress in Pediatric ER
Grant's Perspective on ... music found to reduce pain and distress in the emergency room.
William Congreve famously wrote "Music has charms to soothe a savage breast" back in 1697. University of Alberta researchers have published their results in JAMA Pediatrics Music to Reduce Pain and Distress in Pediatric Emergency Department that back this up.
The research shows that children report less pain from the insertion of an IV when they are distracted by music.
I think it would be great to install sound systems in hospital ER's to help reduce the suffering of patients.

PowerCool - AC and Cooling in One Rack Space
Grant's Perspective on ... the new Middle Atlantic AC power distribution and cooling solution that takes one rack space.
There is only so much space in a rack so it is great to see a single rack space unit that can take care of power distribution and rack cooling functions when the rack gets crowded (and hot) with other components.
Enjoy the Canada Day long weekend and keep cool.

Sharp Aquos Board Wins Best Interactive/ Video Whiteboard Award
Grant's Perspective on ... the Sharp Aquos Board winning the best interactive/video whiteboard award from Commercial Integrator.
We have been installing a ton of the Sharp Aquos Boards and are not surprised to see that Commercial Integrator magazine announced that the Aquos Board won the best interactive/video whiteboard at InfoComm last week.
Here is a photo of a recent classroom installation of 3 interactive Aquos Boards.

Internet of Everything Worth $14,000,000,000,000.00
Grant's Perspective on ... a Cisco white paper valuing the "Internet of Everything" at 14 trillion dollars.
I do a lot of AV system programming and internet connectivity has saved me many hours of travel and my employer the cost of the time and travel, which in turn saves our clients money. Most times I can work at my office and connect to the AV system in our client's location to update their system programming.
Cisco has published a white paper saying that the Internet of Everything has over 14 trillion dollars at stake in connecting people-to-people, people-to-things and things-to-things together. I thought it was great to be home at 5:30 to have dinner with my family but Cisco sure puts a huge value to the future "Internet of Everything".

BrightLink Pro Split Screen Function
Grant's Perspective on ... the Epson BrightLink Pro 1410Wi interactive projector.
Epson recently added the BrightLink Pro 1401Wi to the BrightLink line-up.
The BrightLink projectors have been the go-to projector for the education market and the 1410Wi model will be equally at home in the boardroom and meeting room.
The split screen feature is the coolest feature for business. It is ready for videoconferencing with one portion of the screen showing the video conference end point participants and the other side of the screen displaying the shared screen information from a tablet or laptop. Split Screen can also be a part of collaborative meetings as two devices can be displayed side-by-side.
The 1410Wi also has all the interactive features that the BrightLinks are renowned for. See the Epson BrightLink Pro video overview below. Note that the Chief All-in-One System reviewed last week is shown in the video (15 second and 56 second mark)
Enjoy the May long weekend!

All-in-One System For BrightLink Pro
Grant's Perspective on ... Chief's new All-in-One System for mounting the Epson BrightLink Pro in a conference room.
With the introduction of the Epson BrightLink Pro 1410Wi, Chief has identified a need to aesthetically mount the projector for the boardroom, corporate training facility and conference room.
The system includes the IDEA projection screen that minimizes projector hot spots and also serves as a dry erase board. The mounting system allows cables to be hidden behind the screen but do not have to be run behind the walls. There is also a valance that hides the projector and projector cabling from view. The valance and trim are available in 3 colours (cherry, aluminum and teak) to better match the room.
And with it being a Chief product, you know it is easy to install and adjust!

Touch Screen Boardroom CollaborativeTables
Grant's Perspective on ... great new boardroom sized tables for interactive collaborative meetings.
At Inland AV, we are seeing more and more applications of interactive monitors and projectors in boardrooms, training facilities and classrooms. The boardroom table photo below is a great example of a boardroom table suited for collaborative sessions.
The table is available in 6', 8' and 10' lengths and you can choose from 11 different colours and finishes. The table includes a surge protected power bar as well as a quiet cooling fan. There are several table shapes and is available in 2 heights: sitting around the table or standing height.
Building the touch-screen display (up to 65") into the table keeps the look of the room clean as all cabling (and space for a computer) is contained inside the table stand locking cabinet.
