BNS extends ground breaking IP-based audio-visual presentation solution to Cisco Systems Briefing Centres in Singapore and Seoul

[Hong Kong, March 2007] IP systems integrator BNS Ltd has been appointed to upgrade Cisco System’s Singapore and Seoul Customer Briefing Centres with a ground breaking IP-based audio-visual system.

The installations follow BNS’s successful delivery of a similar system for Cisco System’s Customer Briefing Center in Hong Kong in December 2006.

Connected via an IP network and centrally programmed and controlled using easy to operate atmospherics® management software by US software solutions provider Cloud Systems, the systems are scalable to the most complex audio-visual environments including multi-room, multi-facility locations.

The systems enable Cisco personnel to rapidly create smooth and seamless audio visual presentations for technology demonstrations. It also allows the control of demonstration equipment via multiple devices, such as a Cisco IP phone, a standard web browser, Tablet PCs, touchpads, wall plates, or any IP enabled PDA device.

Easy to operate with a simple one-click-to go interface that does not require any special training, the solution brings simplicity to usually complicated technology presentations and reduces overall presentation times dramatically as presenters can focus on the customer and his presentation, rather than on the AV.

In Singapore, the Briefing Centre will feature two HD media walls and nine demo stand providing access to interactive demos of Cisco technologies, as well as an ultra high resolution multimedia and video wall in the Cisco Demo Theater. The system provides video output to a total of 28 HDTV units and monitors and manages audio/video and multimedia sources from 60+ servers.

In Seoul, the Briefing Centre will be fitted with one HDTV media wall, four demo stands and the system managing 13 HDTV units and monitors and 30+ servers.

The Cisco Customer Briefing Centre in Singapore was inaugurated on the 26th of February and the Seoul Briefing Centre will be operational by mid March.
