Notes From Logan
by Logan Enright, CTS
Welcome to Spring/Summer 2010!
In this edition of Scanlines we bring you the incredible 20,000 hour Casio projector line, the new Vaddio Video Whiteboard ('twas the talk of NAB),
the latest RGB Spectrum QuadView HDx, APC and their AV rack offerings, Conen vertically adjustable white board mount, Liberty Edulinx, and more.
As we prepare for InfoComm and struggle through this challenging economy, we hear from our integrators and consultants that some are up, some are down, but that people’s spirits are high and are going the extra mile for their clients.
The great part of a challenging economy is that is forces all of us to sharpen our skills and become and remain true professionals. There is no room for the uninformed, disinterested or lackadaisical in this market. This raises the bar for all of us and creates a better AV industry – that’s a good thing.
Below find our InfoComm Manufacturer Finder. Our fall golf tournaments are upcoming – standby for exact dates and locations – Sept Southern CA, October Northern CA and November Vegas and Phoenix. We are putting our demo room together in Santa Ana (just off the 5 Fwy) and will have everything we represent on display for dealers to use by appointment. A free service of The Enright Company! See you in Vegas

Vaddio Launches Industry’s First Video Whiteboard
by Patti Enright
Vaddio, www.vaddio.com, the leading manufacturer and OEM distributor of specialty pan/tilt/zoom cameras and high-end camera control systems, announces the launch of the first high definition patent pending
Video Whiteboard. The new Video Whiteboard completely replaces the existing need for fixed or PTZ cameras in a video system environment. “Shooting a camera at a whiteboard has always been an unpleasant experience at best,” explains Rob Sheeley, President of Vaddio. “Whether it’s light reflecting from the whiteboard surface into the camera lens or the presenter blocking the whiteboard camera shot with their body, using cameras to capture whiteboard content to a video source has not been an ideal solution. While using interactive whiteboards has been a popular solution as a stand-alone learning device in a classroom, they are not really designed to be used as an HD/SD video output device in videoconferencing applications where the whiteboard content must comply within videoconferencing and bridging standards.”
Vaddio all new Video Whiteboard
The Video Whiteboard can be used in a variety of applications from videoconferencing, content creation, IMAG, rich media systems or in any system designed to incorporate a whiteboard as a video input device. Because no dedicated PC is required, Vaddio’s Video Whiteboard is compatible with any videoconferencing, TelePresence, distance education or video media distribution system. In addition to HD/SD video outputs, data can be captured and stored as a .jpeg image onto any USB flash drive. Because of the closed operating system there are no hardware requirements, software hassles or operating system issues.
With a suggested list price of $2995 the Vaddio Video Whiteboard uses the Vaddio EZCamera Cabling System with HSDS™, power and USB data are run over a single Cat. 5 cable up to 100 feet from the whiteboard to the Video Whiteboard Quick-Connect interface. The Video Whiteboard Quick-Connect outputs DVI/HDMI or analog component HD video with supported HD resolutions of 720p and 1080i, as well as analog composite SD video - both NTSC and PAL. On the front of the Video Whiteboard Quick-Connect is a USB port for plugging in a USB flash drive and saving a .jpeg image of the whiteboard if desired. As with most products in our lineup, the Vaddio Video Whiteboard will be on long-term demo at The Enright Company office in Santa Ana.
