QOMO RF Wireless Tablet is Functional and AffordableQomo QIT30 RF Wireless Tablet
The QOMO QIT30 RF Wireless Tablet is a breakthrough in interactive technology. All other wireless tablets being sold today use "Blue Tooth" technology which was designed for cell phone headsets, printers and other short range items, not interactive products.
 
The QIT30's unique design solves those problems by using the same 2.4 GHz RF techhnology used by long range wireless networking products. Here is a sampling of how it can be leveraged in multiple markets:
  • Education or Medical: Electronic annotation and markup of electronic files or images of all types. Capture annotation for re-distribution. Replaces digitizer tablets for photo retouching or creating electronic artwork. Unit is lightweight, wireless and enables instructor mobility. When used with a QOMO document camera, it allows annotating over any object or printed material under camera lens.
  • Government or Legal: As above; plus annotation over electronically displayed evidence and/or scanned documents.
  • Corporate: As above; plus annotation over AutoCAD drawings, spreadsheets or other electronic documents.
  • Videoconferencing: Annotate over shared documents, 3D objects, files, CAD-CAM drawings and blueprints.

Image of SVGA Port
The audio/video industry has always been inundated with connector types like VGA, XGA, HDMI, DVI, Composite, etc.,  and there have always been many questions and confusion around the subject from our customers.

Audio and video feeds have been connected with everything from the simple RCA to the more complex digital type connectors.  In this article, we will look at most of the commercial video connectors and correctly apply them to their proper application-- and also recommend when and how to future proof any existing or upcoming A/V projects.
