Audio Visual systems
Systems range from modest Projection systems for meeting rooms or background music systems for restaurants and retail stores up to complex Conference Centers, Auditorium or Theatre systems which integrate sound, video, intelligent signal management and processing, system automation and control, multiple displays and video conferencing with a variety of media players and content sources.
Why Use Audiovisual Systems

• Solves all companies presentation needs.
• Reduces meeting time by more than 40%
• Reduces costs of printing material
• Increases effectiveness of videoconference use, and consequently its percentage

 
Video Conferencing
The largest advantage or benefit Video Conferencing has to offer is the ability to have meetings with persons in remote locations without incurring travel expenses associated with face to face communication.

Because of this technology, information and knowledge are disseminated more efficiently and quickly; collaboration, knowledge share and brainstorming between individuals occur more readily. Businesses can use video conferencing to make presentations to members of staff at branch offices or to solicit new clients in a professional manner, regardless of their location. Videoconferencing can be used to assist in teaching students in remote locations allowing individuals to take classes that would normally be unavailable or outside the scope of their busy schedule.
 
Why use Videoconferencing

• Hard Benefits of Videoconferencing
• Great reduction of Travel Expenses: MONEY!
• Significant increase of productive time: PRODUCTIVITY!
• Faster Decision Making and access to outside experts: EFFICIENCY!
• Better resource usage: People are reached when they are needed. All the required individuals can be present at the meeting: OPTIMIZATION!
• Soft Benefits
• Improved Communication (Meetings More Often, More Content - A high percentage of our communication is through non-verbal cues, so seeing the person making a presentation offers more information)
• Improved employee morale
• Strategic Benefits
• Faster crisis management
• Faster time to market
• Better customer response

 
Media Streaming
Companies often need two types of conferencing requirement: one to handle a live collaborative two way broadcast as outline above and one to handle live broadcasts to a mass audience (say, an address from the CEO), or for archived sessions (say, for training) that can be delivered on demand. Exterbox Electronic Solutions is able to provide steaming solutions that can serve up a live, interactive, web-based broadcast while also allowing users replay a stored sessions. Best of all, canned presentations don't need post-production encoding to make DV content accessible via the Web.

To create a live presentation, speakers need only bring their presentation material, plug into the capture device, click the Start button, and begin speaking. We are able to provide streaming servers that takes input from any video graphics array device. While most presenters will bring a PC to display PowerPoint data and the like, they can also choose to hook up a document camera or other device. With no added difficulty, presenters can record a live presentation for later use. The session can be saved onto a CD, published on the Web, or archived for posterity.
 

Automation and Control Systems

• Control - Puts all of your user interfaces on one device. Also, all installed technology (including lighting and AC) can be controlled from a single point, meeting objectives in a more effective, efficient and impacting manner.
• Integration - Automates "what" you want to do. You don't have to be an expert to operate installed equipment.
• Automation - Predicts other actions based on "who" and "when" "what" you want to do. Multiple processes can be preprogrammed and executed by the touch of a single button on an interactive touch screen or keypad. For example, a manager wanting to make a videoconference call may have to turn on the videoconferencing system, the video display unit, roll down a projection screen, set the lighting to the correct intensity, turn on the audio system, and switch the signal management device to the correct output. With automation all these process can be executed by pressing a single button.

 
Remote Management and Scheduling Systems
With the expanse of the AV/Conferencing facilities across a campus or multiple buildings/floors, administrators are faced with the task of managing many resources spread out over long distances. Effective system management of such resource is a stretch on available budgets and staffing. What is needed is a cost effective technology that centralizes A/V system management and monitoring without requiring a larger support staff. This system will be able to promote the following:
 
Proactive Maintenance

• Maintenance and usage data can guide the purchase of replacement parts and additional devices.
• Service times can be proactively scheduled for optimum use of resources
• Improve equipment maintenance results in increased system uptime
• Reduced down time saves money
• Programmable automatic shutdown time
• Nothing left on all weekend
• Increase efficiency of lamps
• E-mailed notification of problems as they arise

 
Event Scheduling

• Presentation rooms can be automatically prepared for use prior to the scheduled start of classes or meetings
• Devices can be powered off automatically, reducing lamp and power usage
• Single devices, groups of devices, and even entire installations, can be configured to respond according to schedule or predefined trigger event.

 
Remote Technical Support

• Remote device control and access to device status enables remote troubleshooting hence a drop in monies spent for lecture assistance staff
• Users receive a quicker response and faster problem resolution
• Centralized technical support enables better response with fewer support staff.

 
Theft Alerts

• Monitoring is automatic, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
• E-mail alerts can be sent to multiple e-mail addresses simultaneously
• Better asset protection from theft and vandalism

 
Why Use Remote Management and Scheduling Systems

• Users - Confidence that the system is always ready and Help is just a button press away
• Administrators
• Proactive maintenance and support coupled with better service response times
• Detailed metrics on usage patterns and device performance
• Integrators - Value added services such as family calendar, remote access, and scheduled system events

 
Background Music Systems
The use of background music in restaurants, retail stores, Hotels and health spas has proven to be an excellent investment. The music can be used to set a mood, provide a soothing ambiance and to mask intrusive background noise. With the use of DSPs, Room Combining systems all purpose speakers, professional amplifiers, wall mountable controllers and music sources Exterbox Solutions can install full frequency range background music systems with excellent sound quality and control flexibility. Music sources include CD changers, cable TV and satellite music services and computer hard drive based music servers.

IP Video Surveillance Systems
With crime being one of Jamaica's number one problems it is increasingly important for entities to use surveillance systems to monitor and record activity within their environs.

IP Surveillance system allows control and viewing of cameras over a Local or Wide Area Network (LAN/WAN) as opposed to a traditional CCTV solution which is more local based in its application.
System Advantages:
In addition to the viewing of camera imagery over a network, IP monitoring has the following advantages:

• Simplicity in installation and system manipulation
• Scalability - typical problems with addition of cameras to traditional CCTV solutions is not an issue with IP monitoring.
• Wireless Capability - using wireless removes the need to wire the system for video and control hence a reduction in installation time (both at the onset and for future expansion) and cost.
• Heightened Security - Permission levels can be set for each system.

As the number and complexity of the individual pieces of AV equipment increases, it becomes increasingly important to provide for simplified control and intelligent signal management as part of the meeting facility expansion or upgrade.
 
 Facility Operation and Management
The operation and management requirements of modern meeting or conference facilities with their audio systems, electronic displays, signal management and control systems can sometimes exceed the capabilities of in-house staff to configure, troubleshoot and maintain them. As a result, it is increasingly common for organizations to outsource the management and maintenance of their audio visual/conferencing enabled facilities. Without addition of staff, the organizations can have ready access to the local technical assistance necessary to get the full daily and long term benefits from their AV investment.
