Northcentral Technical College Keeps it Simple with Technology Integration to Boardroom Northcentral Technical College chose Dascom to integrate a multimedia presentation system into their boardroom in Wausau, Wisconsin that would enhance functionality of board meetings without distracting from the room's professional appearance.
"I wanted a simple, clean room design that would not require my staff to spend time setting up equipment prior to meetings," said Tim Dunbar, Instructional Technology Coordinator at Northcentral Technical College.
Main components of the newly installed system include:
- Two 47" LCD display panels with motorized ceiling lift
- Two 60" HD plasma display panels
- Hand-held wireless portable room controller
- Audio system with ceiling microphones
The result of the integration is a high-end multimedia presentation system that is a departure from previous systems which typically included wired desktop touch panels, tabletop microphones and an LCD cart to be rolled out and connected when used. In addition, the boardroom technology now has functionality and control for four main modes of operation including: Open (live audio, no video); Open with Presentation (live audio and video); Closed (no audio or video); and Closed with Presentation (audio off, video on).
"Users have liked how the integrated technology works within the room," Dunbar stated. "They appreciate its simplicity and the four modes of operation that are possible with the system- allowing how the room will be used to determine the technology- not the other way around."

The Biggest Season of Television is Here: Telephone Companies Have Opportunity to Get in the Game with Local HD Content For telephone companies, it's that time of the year to go on the offensive and get in the game - by differentiating their service offering. The best offense during television's biggest season? Local HD programming. The local channel lineup is the most watched programming and has a clear path to increasing revenue, attracting new subscribers and retaining a customer base. More local HD content can strengthen a telephone company's bond with the community creating a natural affinity for their service over the "corporate big boys."
Dascom works with partners to provide telephone companies with the local HD content they need. Dascom is currently hosting a limited time offer with Tandberg Television for special HD pricing to get telephone companies in the game.
