Part 1 of 3 ISE preview blog posts.

It’s that time of the year again to look ahead at ISE and all the new solutions that will be on display from the brands of Legrand | AV. In 2020, we’re showing how our brands work together to create full room solutions with a series of application spaces.

Whether you focus on Education, Digital Signage or Corporate AV, you will find cutting-edge solutions that enhance experiences with technology.

Stop by stand 2C50 to take a tour and discover the latest in C2G, Chief, Da-Lite, Luxul, Middle Atlantic, Projecta and Vaddio solutions.

Want a sneak peek? We have you covered. Only we’ve got so much planned, we’re going to need three blogs to tell you about it.

This post will dive into the application spaces for Conference (medium), Conference (small), Education and Broadcast.

Medium Conference Room

Run meetings like a boss with solutions designed to keep you from spending the first 10 minutes trying to figure out how it works.

Case in point, the EasyIP Ecosystem. It’s an AV-over-IP conferencing system that is easy to use, easy to install and provides industry-leading video quality. With EasyIP, you can deliver a simple, yet professional quality BYOD (bring your own device) conferencing experience by moving videoconferencing onto a standard 1 Gb Ethernet network. EasyIP saves money because it uses video over IP, eliminating costly extenders and video switchers, and instead using Cat cables and a network switch. This cost-effective solution results in faster installation times too.

Middle Atlantics latest credenza – the C3 Series - can also be found in the conference room. The new 25 cm deep series displays modern contrasted finishes with versatile rackmount and small device storage options. Each credenza comes with power and thermal management built in.

New installation features and a new motorized ALR surface option will make Projecta’s Tensioned DescenderPro a must see. Its compact housing is up to 1/3 smaller than similar electric screens for easy installation in tight space. And it looks great while doing so with a clean finish and no visible screws. Two-step installation to just click in the entire roller that includes the motor and screen surface.

Small Conference Room

Don’t miss the Tempo Series Flat Panel Floor Support System. Save time and money by eliminating room inspections and wall reinforcements with Chief’s new solution. This floor-supported wall mount system looks great, can be customized to fit room aesthetics, and is flexible enough to work with existing outlet locations. Mount sold separately.

The C5 Series Credenza addresses the latest trends in commercial interior design. This credenza system built around the rack you trust is now available in several sizes and styles. Perfect for conference rooms, huddle spaces and classrooms The C5 series also includes integrated power, cable and thermal management for an all in one solution.

The ConferenceSHOT AV sets new performance standards for USB-based enterprise-class systems for small- to medium-sized conference rooms. The ConferenceSHOT AV integrates a 10x zoom PTZ camera and audio conferencing mixer into a single USB 3.0 device. It supports collaboration on UC soft clients such as Zoom, Skype for Business, WebEx, Google Hangouts and more.

Classroom

Active learning pedagogy continues to take hold in the classroom, and it places technology at is core. Empower students and instructors alike with access to the latest gadgets and tools at their fingertips. We’re fueling this trend with solutions to enhance education and keep class on track.

Speaking of track, auditoriums and large lecture halls will benefit from Vaddio’s RoboTRAK Presenter Tracking System. The IR lanyard-based tracking provides smooth, accurate panning and tilting motion that follows the instructor all over the classroom.

Get the most out of every centimeter! FullVision from Projecta and Da-Lite is a border-less fixed frame projection screen that enables the entire surface to be used for projection. Available with 16K-ready HD Progressive screen surfaces.

When you need the ability to show students a document or a particularly hard to see technique, Vaddio’s DocCAM 20 HDBT is your eye in the sky. This high definition, recessed in-ceiling document camera comes with 20x optical zoom and simultaneous HDBaseT and IP H.264 streaming. Pair with the OneLINK HDMI receiver to extend power, video and control to your camera over a single Cat-5e cable up to 100 m.

Chief has designed new height adjust floor support mounts to add accessibility to interactive technology in the education market. The Large Capacity Height Adjust Flat Panel Floor Support Mount provides height adjust capability for 660 mm of vertical lift. Anti-collision technology immediately halts, then reverses the motion of the display upon detecting an obstruction. This avoids pinching fingers or damaging the display.

Keeping equipment local to the classroom, secure from prying students and out of the teacher’s way has always been a challenge in these spaces. Middle Atlantic’s VWM series is a low profile wall mount rack that features multiple planes of vertical mounting to allow deeper equipment to be mounted parallel to the wall.

Don’t forget you can take classes yourself at AV University, home to Chief, Da-Lite, Middle Atlantic, Projecta and Vaddio training courses. All courses are free and many offer AVIXA CTS Renewal Unit credits. Our wide variety of course options includes product certifications, installation tips & tricks, how-to videos, application specifics, general industry knowledge and much more. You can pick and choose the courses that interest you the most, on your own time, at your own pace.

On air talent will be sure to appreciate seeing notes or how they look on camera with a confidence monitor. Chief’s Confidence Monitor Cart keeps displays near the floor and out of the way.
