Systems® maintains teams whose members are located around the world.These teams must find efficient, cost-effective ways to communicate.
E-mail and telephone are certainly important tools, but more is needed to provide a personal contact.
Solution: The perfect solution for this challenge is video
conferencing. Body language is important. It’s helpful to the person, giving a presentation, to be able to see their audience and their reaction to what is being said.

Figure 1. A large plasma screen, mounted on the front wall, enables everyone in the room to see the participants at the distant end of the conference, and to monitor the video being transmitted to the distant end. Figure 2. PowerPoint slides and other presentation media are projected onto a large screen on the front wall. The video from this screen is also transmitted to the distant end of the video conference. Figure 3. Whenever possible, media and inroom controls (lighting, audio, window blinds, cameras) are centered into a single control point at the presentation podium.
