our new and not yet 100% working video conferencing system

Well here is our new and greatly improved video conferencing system for the school pupils. Last year the pupils won a competition with BT which gave us £5000 to improve our video conferencing facilities, we were using Skype with a Logitech webcam and tried to setup a Polycom unit without much luck. For the school's new system we are using a huge 42" Samsung PDP TV alongside a Tandberg Edge 95 MX video conference system.

The Tandberg system boasts live HD streaming to other devices capable of HD with the option to scale down to lower resolutions with systems that aren't capable, add a fully controllable motorised camera with numerous features and the ability to display both video feeds from other devices such as DVD players and PCs all simultaneously. It isn't fully setup at the moment due to some very technical difficulties that we experienced keep reading to see what happened along with some more close-ups:

Here is a breif overlook of what I've been doing at work when installing different ICT suites. Many of these are going to be similar so sorry for the repetitiveness of the articles.

Digital Signage

The digital signage in use! 

Now here is an interestring project at work which I enjoyed, the school wanted a digital signage system for the reception area of the school with all the latest news. We already had a plasma TV in place running off a PC hidden under the receptionists desk but they wanted it upgrading into an all-in-one unit so a Samsung SM460DXN was purchased. The 46 inch plasma TV comes with a built in fully feature micro computer which is easily capable of running Windows XP along with the Digital Signage software which just needs one connection via Ethernet to control the whole machine. Before we used to remote-access the computer in reception to change what would be displayed but the Samsung Digital Signage system came with its own software "Magic Info Pro". I must admit the software gets a bit of getting used to but after the initial hour of confusion we were up and running keep reading to see how we currently have the signage setup.
