Runco – 3Dimension Series projectors Runco has taken an uncompromising approach to stereoscopic 3D visualisation technology. The use of passive technology eliminates the possibility of flicker and is claimed to reduce eyestrain and discomfort. Innovations also extend to the light source (reduced power consumption, mercury-free illumination and instant-on function) and the colour gamut, said to be the largest ever in front projection.
See & Touch Marbella – Creation Cinema & TV Chairs This is possibly the most luxurious and powerful chair you could watch a film or play a game in. A joystick – surrounded by a thin ring of Swarovski crystals – is integrated in either the left or the right armrest, for control of lighting, volume control, chair recline and straightening, and access to the Creation Menu. If you told us you could launch the Space Shuttle from it, we might believe you.
Smart Media Solutions – Short Throw Wall Manual mount/bracket The Short Throw Wall Manual mount/bracket from Smart Media Solutions holds both an interactive whiteboard and a projector. The bracket is delivered partially assembled, enabling one person to install it in less than an hour. As well as making IWBs more accessible, the mount is also claimed to be less expensive and lighter than competing solutions.
Streamit – Avplatform HD video and audio distribution system All sorts of small organisations can now effectively start their own TV or radio stations thanks to AVplatform – an end-to-end, open-platform system for HD video and audio distribution. Streamit manufactures seamlessly compatible equipment such as encoders/ streamers, decoders and SIR internet radios; however, because of the open ethos, other systems and hardware can also be integrated easily.
TLS – GlobalControl IP GlobalControl IP is a web-based control system for global administration, monitoring and control of up to 99 conference rooms and buildings in and from any place in the world. It’s a very powerful, open systems tool for coordinating the technical backbone required for international meetings and conferences. We like the way it achieves a great deal without resorting to a lot of heavy-duty proprietary technology.
Volfoni – Activeyes 3D glasses If you only ever want to buy one pair of 3D glasses, you should turn to Activeyes. They work with both passive and active 3D; they work with all manufacturers’ TVs; and they’re firmware upgradable for when a new display comes onto the market. They’re also light and comfortable to wear, as the electronics are separated from the headset – and you can plug in two pairs of glasses.
