Over the past year the Coronavirus pandemic has forced businesses to adapt, adopting remote working where possible to keep employees and others safe. As we slowly return to work in offices, some of the changes made during lockdown are being integrated to create new ways of working and now hybrid meetings are being adopted by many companies.
What is a hybrid meeting?
Hybrid working and hybrid meetings combine on-site and remote participation allowing employees to carry out their work from anywhere. Hybrid meetings will have attendees in a meeting room working together with remote participants who may be working from home, from a different office or from anywhere else, using video conferencing and remote collaboration tools.
Hybrid meetings equipment
For hybrid meetings to be a good alternative to traditional in-person meetings, you need to ensure the right equipment and systems are in place so remote participants can contribute and participate effectively
We are pleased to announce that we have become Owl Labs authorised resellers and are now able to supply the award-winning Meeting Owl Pro video conferencing system.
The Owl Labs Meeting Owl Pro is an all-in-one video conferencing device combining camera, microphone and speaker, but it is not like your usual all-in-one systems. You may be familiar with the typical video conferencing systems which provide a wide-angle view from one side of the room and may be able to pan and zoom in on a specific person or area. The Meeting Owl Pro is different: it is able to capture a panoramic view of the whole room, while also automatically focussing and shifting between
SMART are well known for their award winning interactive boards and software. They provide comprehensive purpose-built solutions designed for education with high specification interactive displays for classrooms, a powerful software suite, online resources, educator training and personal development as well as excellent support.
For customers who wish to move on from projector-based classroom solutions to interactive displays but have a more limited budget, SMART have now released the new GX Series of interactive boards.
In autumn 2020 it was reported that the latest Denon and Marantz AV receivers, as well as some Onkyo, Pioneer and Yamaha models, suffer from a compatbility issue caused by the chipset handling the HDMI 2.1 protocol. This means that the affected models are not able to pass through 4K at 120Hz and 8K at 60Hz causing a blank screen when the video source outputs these resolutions.
Now Sound United, the parent company of Denon and Marantz, have announced they will be offering a fix in the form of a FREE SPK618 HDMI adapter to all owners of the affected Denon and Marantz receivers.
Following last year's launch of the VPL-VW590ES and VPL-VW790ES, Sony have now announced two new 4K home cinema models. The new VPL-VW290ES is replacing the popular VPL-VW270ES and the new VPL-VW890ES replaces the VPL-VW870ES.
In line with the recently launched models, the two new models build up on their predecessors and now also feature the X1 processor, based on technology used in BRAVIA televisions and optimised for projection. The X1 processor combines technologies for high precision frame analysis with Dynamic HDR Enhancer and Super Resolution Reality Creation for a high-quality picture.

ToolSense, which is now known as Tool Explorer technology enables users to use real world objects to annotate or interact with the digital content on screen in instinctive yet new ways, capturing and keeping the interest of pupils to ensure they remain engaged in lessons.
Technology is an integral part of our daily lives, whether it's at home or at work, entertaining us, keeping us connected and informed, helping us to communicate and complete tasks. But technology can also be frustrating sometimes: devices not pairing or connecting to the wireless network, cables in a tangled mess, difficulties with sharing content and having to swap cables between colleagues etc. Nobody likes wasting half of a meeting or sales presentation trying to get the tech that is supposed to help us to simply work.
Wireless collaboration systems are designed to simplify presentations and collaboration, getting you ready for your sales pitch or team meeting quickly and easily.
What are wireless collaboration systems?
Wireless collaboration systems enable one or multiple presenters to easily share information from their own devices to a display wirelessly, switching between presenters seamlessly or with some systems, screen sharing from multiple devices.
In home entertainment there is little more impressive than a large image that is sharp, vibrant and with high contrast.
While OLED televisions lead the way in terms of dark blacks and vibrant colours, it is not always easy to achieve a truly large image, either because of the space available – not everyone has a lounge large enough for an 85" diagonal TV - or simply the cost. This is why projectors are a firm favourite for the big screen experience thanks to their compact size and lower cost per diagonal inch of image compared to televisions.
In the past couple of years, the popularity of ultra-short throw projectors designed for home cinema has rocketed. With only a few centimetres of projection distance needed, they can be placed on a cabinet below the screen making installation much easier and more discreet. The downside is that ultra-short throw (UST) projectors need a perfectly flat and vertical surface to project on to so only fixed frame screens and some high q
Most people working in education will be familiar with interactive technology. Almost 30 years ago, interactive whiteboards started to replace traditional whiteboards and blackboards in schools and the most commonly found manufacturer of interactive whiteboards in the UK was SMART with their Smart Boards. Today, interactive whiteboards are gradually being replaced with interactive flat panels and SMART continue to be a very popular choice thanks to their range of touch screen displays.
The current range of SMART Board interactive flat panels for education includes the MX series, the 6000 series and the new 6000S and 7000R series. But what is the difference between these four options?
