Edge Vision Provides Professional Audio Visual (AV) Communication Systems For The Corporate Sector.
How We Do It?
We follow a proven methodology and process that consists of a number of distinct stages to fulfil a professional AV strategy implementation. These stages include:
• Look
• Listen
• Discuss
• Design
• Install
• Train
• Support & Maintain
Why Choose To Work With Edge Vision?
We bring a wealth of experience in IT, networking and communications, as well as AV markets to assist companies in specifying, designing, implementing, and supporting their AV communications strategies. This might be a simple software implementation at the desktop or a full refit of a boardroom or video conferencing suite. Whatever your requirements, Edge Vision has the skills and technology to fulfil them. And, because the company delivers only best of breed products in every application space, customers can be assured that their solution is an exact fit to their needs, made to measure now yet scaleable for the future.
Why Implement AV Systems?
It has been shown that the more senses we, as human beings, use when communicating, the more detail we absorb and the more effective we become. In fact, it is estimated that humans take in 300 per cent more information in 50 per cent of the time when observing 3D rather than 2D images. So, combining several dimensions, like visual communications with the latest information and news, creates a powerful platform to drive business success.
Whatever your AV communications strategy:
• enhance your internal communications platform,
• develop your meeting rooms to enable greater interactivity using whiteboards and conferencing facilities,
• update your reception areas with plasma installations,
• implement a new desktop conferencing and meeting strategy,
• or any other simple and complex AV project.

One company, one solution
Most customers talk to us because we know the AV business through years of operating in this field and we deal with every aspect of an AV implementation.

Corporate TV
Corporate TV is like having your own company digital VCR/DVD recorder that will support one or thousands of users globally. It has the capability to transform the way you communicate your messages to employees, suppliers and customers and you have total control of the content, timing, availability and delivery of those messages.
You can broadcast live or stored programmes, view, edit, record, and playback as required using professional broadcasting techniques and technology. And, with IP you can broadcast to the world over the Internet or talk to employees via the corporate intranet. IP gives you the scale to choose. Best of all, if you have an IP telephony infrastructure in your company, AV broadcasting is at TV quality and completely free of charge.
Corporate TV is a powerful tool for companies of all sizes to make the headlines their own and because we are all so familiar with the television today it is accepted as a reliable communications medium. And, you become the broadcaster, tailoring your programmes to your own audiences and deciding on the messages you want them to take away. For example, many companies use their corporate TV facilities to assist in staff training programmes, explaining their latest products and services in detail and demonstrating them on-screen. Others deliver key corporate news to management teams, board members, and all company employees with different messaging for each audience. And, some use screens in the reception area to broadcast a variety of programmes to inform and entertain those visiting the company.
This means you can get your point over with all the nuances usually lost when you put a message down on paper. Corporate TV ensures expedient and direct communication with all.
Your own business TV channel
A business TV network gives you your own TV channel which you can broadcast to the world if you want.
• Include relevant external TV content and international breaking news.
• Get your message to employees in different continents at the right time for them.
• Install video screens in employee areas such as canteens or depots for those who cannot access email or intranets.
• Record meetings and offer playback on-demand to those unable to attend.
• Make company announcements available to download from your website.

AV Solutions
Imagine working in an intuitive meeting room that actually helps you get your message over. That's possible through smart technologies and good audio visual communication standards.
Audio visual communication methods can revolutionise your business communications, corporate efficiency and training programmes. Why? Because AV communication is the most expedient way to get your message over to a wide audience without having to get everyone in a single room.
Cooperative working
Audio visual communication combines a range of data sources and technologies which are made available to everyone attending a meeting. This way all delegates can see the same documents or business TV feeds, make notes on the same electronic diagrams and graphs, and all clearly hear and be heard amongst their virtual audience.
Create an AV communication hub
Get it right, and your meeting room becomes a communications hub for your organisation.
• Combine PCs, DVDs, TVs, interactive white boards to provide a wide range of data sources
• Design professional lighting and sound to ensure the message gets through with no distractions.
• Include video conferencing with the broadcast capability of corporate TV.
• Ensure the results are clearly seen with the right mix of projectors and screens around the room.
• Automate processes such as motion-sensor lighting that comes on when you open the door and auto-balanced sound precision to ensure your message is delivered loud and clear without distortion.
• Take control using an intuitive executive-friendly touch pad that helps you do everything from changing the on-screen camera angle to adjusting the blinds.

Video Conferencing
Video conferencing has at last come of age! It is reliable and affordable technology and its uptake is being accelerated further by appropriate IP infrastructures (quality of service enabled - QoS).
Now, with HD resolution a reality, video conferencing is applicable to other applications, like high definition medical and design. Here broadcast quality is necessary for a more precise level of detail. And, the Internet is capable of supporting this bandwidth requirement while offering incredible cost benefits. It delivers zero minute costs while ISDN, despite being 80% of the installed number of systems, is on the way down due to extremely high minute costs, unreliable call connectivity and sustainment of the call (drop out).
With IP connectivity delivered to all PCs, video conferencing is now possible from a 3G enabled mobile telephone, desktop or laptop PC or meeting room as well as via the professional corporate boardroom set-up. And IP gives you an 'always-on' AV communications channel on which you can depend. This means that customers have increasing choice in their video conferencing implementation.
For even greater choice, Edge Vision has developed a unique offering in its “Mobile Meeting Point +” product, providing a custom built AV facility that is mobile and pre-configured for your business needs. For further details of this product view our “Mobile Meeting Point” pdf.
Virtual Working With AV
Video conferencing is particularly useful in collaborative working scenarios, where groups of individuals need to interact “live” on real time projects, irrespective of their geographical location.
Extended VC Solutions
VC and other forms of visual communication are often used by executives, managers, financial traders and other employees who depend on the latest news and company information to make informed decisions. However, every organisation can benefit from instant, real-time communication with solutions that 'scale up' to the size of the audience.
BIG Is Not Always Best For Your Corporate Environment!
You can now choose from large display technologies (i.e. total plasma wall solutions, projectors, LCD panels) through plasma screens for small gatherings, to individual desktop or laptop systems.
The secret is in matching the design of the technology to best suit your company environment.
If you use a sleek design process it can look good, preserve your corporate office theme whilst saving expensive floor space and remain hidden from view until access to the appropriate AV tools are required in support of the business.
For solutions like this, you need a company like Edge Vision. We scope your requirements, advise on best of breed products, ensure future-proofing for your investment and build an integrated network tailored for you.

___________
Virtual Meetings
Imagine being able to work real-time on a project with people at every corner of the world and to meet regularly using technology, making it seem that you are together in the same room. You can share files, simultaneously input to graphs, diagrams and documents, discuss relevant topics and agree next steps from remote locations. That's a virtual meeting, and a significant benefit of office AV solutions.
Collaborative AV systems allow virtual-meeting delegates to work together as if they were sitting across the table from one another. They enable interaction with the data being discussed real-time by all parties therefore speeding up many group projects and ensuring full consensus is achieved. This technology is taking on even greater importance in training of all kinds, product development, design and review projects, sales forecast and review meetings, and many other corporate situations.
Encourage Team Work
One of the greatest benefits of this technology is its ability to enhance interaction between people working together. It's face to face so that the personal touch is maintained. It is affordable because it is available over IP networks that keep the cost of calls low. And, it is accessible from the desktop or on many mobile devices so that people have it at their fingertips at all times.

___________
Electronic Signage
Imagine a company signage system (billboard) that plays your message to customers or staff whenever you want and allows you to change the messages at the push of a button. This is possible with our new generation of electronic signage.
It is a centrally managed system that can play content by single screen, by department (group of screens), or globally, across the whole company, even directly to staff PCs. And, each screen can have the same or unique content giving you total control over who sees what, when and how.
Promote products, services or brands
Multimedia electronic signage allows you to provide any number of messages instantly to your audience and gives you the ability to make changes instantly to those messages and the manner in which they are communicated. You place signs in prominent places – from staff canteens, staff notice boards, gymnasiums & social clubs, training departments, customer areas, lifts, lobbies to receptions. Then you schedule what messages are seen and when. Use any combination of video, data or business TV through a single screen to promote new products and services to customers, or broadcast corporate objectives or messages to colleagues. It is simple to control and update via the corporate intranet or the web. You choose the content, the style and the timing - you are in control.
As expert electronic signage integrators, Edge Vision will install your screens and supply all of the technology to drive your electronic signage. You provide the content - whether through video or PowerPoint presentations - and then manage it through a simple scheduling package available online 24 hours a day.
What better way to get your point across to your audiences clearly, concisely, imaginatively, and in a timely fashion?

• Listen - Our consultants are good listeners and this is an important part of any project. We will listen to your business drivers and needs in order that the systems we recommend are ideally suited to your operations.
• Discuss - We do not work in isolation. We want to be an extension of your own team. The implementation of AV systems works best when it is done in collaboration with all parties.
• Design - Once we know what you want and what will work best in your building(s) we will get on with the business in hand. You will be given detailed specifications and drawings of the AV technology implementations that we believe are required to meet your business objectives.
• Implement - Against a mutually agreed plan we will set up and install everything so that it works perfectly and looks fantastic.
• Train - Once you have your new AV infrastructure you need to make the most of it and we will help you to achieve this. We will train all of your staff to use the AV applications and equipment safely, effectively and appropriately.
• Support and maintain - And, once you have everything in place we will agree a suitable plan which leaves you to get on with your day to day work knowing that help is at hand should the need arise.

Showcase Projects
Showcase Projects
We have compiled a few 'showcase projects' to show you the variety of things we can offer you and your company. Have a look and then contact us to see what we can do for you.
Customer challenge – Improving collaboration across the organisation
The company was looking to create international teams of specialists for projects to demonstrate a global approach to business.
Edge Vision challenge: Providing the right blend of video conferencing technology that enables individuals to communicate effectively from their desktops and as groups from meeting rooms.
Lessons learnt: The technology is available to all but attitudes to video conferencing need to be adapted to exploit the technology to its full potential.
Business advantages: Major cost savings were achieved through greatly reduced travel requirements. This addresses the green agenda that is becoming prevalent in the business arena today. Also, productivity gains were reached as time was more effectively used for project activities and the team was able to communicate at the touch of a button from their desks as and when they needed.

Video Conferencing
Video conferencing has at last come of age! It is reliable and affordable technology and its uptake is being accelerated further by appropriate IP infrastructures (quality of service enabled - QoS).
Now, with HD resolution a reality, video conferencing is applicable to other applications, like high definition medical and design. Here broadcast quality is necessary for a more precise level of detail. And, the Internet is capable of supporting this bandwidth requirement while offering incredible cost benefits. It delivers zero minute costs while ISDN, despite being 80% of the installed number of systems, is on the way down due to extremely high minute costs, unreliable call connectivity and sustainment of the call (drop out).
With IP connectivity delivered to all PCs, video conferencing is now possible from a 3G enabled mobile telephone, desktop or laptop PC or meeting room as well as via the professional corporate boardroom set-up. And IP gives you an 'always-on' AV communications channel on which you can depend. This means that customers have increasing choice in their video conferencing implementation.
For even greater choice, Edge Vision has developed a unique offering in its “Mobile Meeting Point +” product, providing a custom built AV facility that is mobile and pre-configured for your business needs. For further details of this product view our “Mobile Meeting Point” pdf.
Virtual Working With AV
Video conferencing is particularly useful in collaborative working scenarios, where groups of individuals need to interact “live” on real time projects, irrespective of their geographical location.
Extended VC Solutions
VC and other forms of visual communication are often used by executives, managers, financial traders and other employees who depend on the latest news and company information to make informed decisions. However, every organisation can benefit from instant, real-time communication with solutions that 'scale up' to the size of the audience.
BIG Is Not Always Best For Your Corporate Environment!
You can now choose from large display technologies (i.e. total plasma wall solutions, projectors, LCD panels) through plasma screens for small gatherings, to individual desktop or laptop systems.
The secret is in matching the design of the technology to best suit your company environment.
If you use a sleek design process it can look good, preserve your corporate office theme whilst saving expensive floor space and remain hidden from view until access to the appropriate AV tools are required in support of the business.
For solutions like this, you need a company like Edge Vision. We scope your requirements, advise on best of breed products, ensure future-proofing for your investment and build an integrated network tailored for you.

Virtual Meetings
Imagine being able to work real-time on a project with people at every corner of the world and to meet regularly using technology, making it seem that you are together in the same room. You can share files, simultaneously input to graphs, diagrams and documents, discuss relevant topics and agree next steps from remote locations. That's a virtual meeting, and a significant benefit of office AV solutions.
Collaborative AV systems allow virtual-meeting delegates to work together as if they were sitting across the table from one another. They enable interaction with the data being discussed real-time by all parties therefore speeding up many group projects and ensuring full consensus is achieved. This technology is taking on even greater importance in training of all kinds, product development, design and review projects, sales forecast and review meetings, and many other corporate situations.
Encourage Team Work
One of the greatest benefits of this technology is its ability to enhance interaction between people working together. It's face to face so that the personal touch is maintained. It is affordable because it is available over IP networks that keep the cost of calls low. And, it is accessible from the desktop or on many mobile devices so that people have it at their fingertips at all times.

Electronic Signage
Imagine a company signage system (billboard) that plays your message to customers or staff whenever you want and allows you to change the messages at the push of a button. This is possible with our new generation of electronic signage.
It is a centrally managed system that can play content by single screen, by department (group of screens), or globally, across the whole company, even directly to staff PCs. And, each screen can have the same or unique content giving you total control over who sees what, when and how.
Promote products, services or brands
Multimedia electronic signage allows you to provide any number of messages instantly to your audience and gives you the ability to make changes instantly to those messages and the manner in which they are communicated. You place signs in prominent places – from staff canteens, staff notice boards, gymnasiums & social clubs, training departments, customer areas, lifts, lobbies to receptions. Then you schedule what messages are seen and when. Use any combination of video, data or business TV through a single screen to promote new products and services to customers, or broadcast corporate objectives or messages to colleagues. It is simple to control and update via the corporate intranet or the web. You choose the content, the style and the timing - you are in control.
As expert electronic signage integrators, Edge Vision will install your screens and supply all of the technology to drive your electronic signage. You provide the content - whether through video or PowerPoint presentations - and then manage it through a simple scheduling package available online 24 hours a day.
What better way to get your point across to your audiences clearly, concisely, imaginatively, and in a timely fashion?

AV Solutions
Imagine working in an intuitive meeting room that actually helps you get your message over. That's possible through smart technologies and good AV communication standards.
AV communication methods can revolutionise your business communications, corporate efficiency and training programmes. Why? Because AV communication is the most effective way of getting your message over to a wide audience without having to get everyone in a single room at the same time.
Cooperative Working
AV communication combines a range of data sources and technologies which are made available to everyone attending a meeting irrespective of physical location. This way all delegates can see the same documents or business TV feeds, make notes on the same electronic diagrams and graphs, and all clearly hear and be heard amongst their virtual audience.
Create An AV Communications Hub
Get it right, and your meeting room becomes a communications hub for your organisation.
• Combine PCs, DVDs, TVs, interactive white boards to provide a wide range of data sources.
• Design professional lighting and sound to ensure the message gets through with no distractions.
• Include video conferencing with the broadcast capability of corporate TV.
• Ensure the results are clearly seen with the right mix of projectors and screens around the room.
• Automate processes such as motion-sensor lighting that comes on when you open the door and auto-balanced sound precision to ensure your message is delivered loud and clear without distortion.
Take control using an intuitive executive-friendly touch pad that helps you do everything, from changing the on-screen camera angle to adjusting the blinds.
It all sounds easy but getting it right requires very specific skills and experience. We offer the entire package and on-going support to make sure that you get your AV strategy right from start to finish.

Showcase Projects
Showcase Projects
We have compiled a few 'showcase projects' to show you the variety of things we can offer you and your company. Have a look and then contact us to see what we can do for you.
Customer challenge – Improving collaboration across the organisation
The company was looking to create international teams of specialists for projects to demonstrate a global approach to business.
Edge Vision challenge: Providing the right blend of video conferencing technology that enables individuals to communicate effectively from their desktops and as groups from meeting rooms.
Lessons learnt: The technology is available to all but attitudes to video conferencing need to be adapted to exploit the technology to its full potential.
Business advantages: Major cost savings were achieved through greatly reduced travel requirements. This addresses the green agenda that is becoming prevalent in the business arena today. Also, productivity gains were reached as time was more effectively used for project activities and the team was able to communicate at the touch of a button from their desks as and when they needed.
Customer challenge – New offices
The customer was moving to new offices and wanted to be sure that their AV requirements were catered for right from the start.
Edge Vision challenge: Understanding the core requirements of the customer for AV technology was essential to be able to lay the cabling and site the screens in the optimum locations for the business moving forward. The look and feel of the equipment is a key consideration as it needs to be effective and functional yet visually pleasing, subtle yet eye-catching.
Lessons learnt:
It is important to plan the AV installation when the office layout is being decided to ensure that everything implemented blends together and looks like it belongs. Subsequent installations can look fantastic but they often lack that certain edge. Establishing a close dialogue with the building contractors and office designers from the start is a necessity.
Business advantage: The AV installation is not just fit for purpose but it blends with the office in every way. Putting the AV at the heart of the office design concept means that the customer gets the very best mix of functionality and aesthetics.
Customer challenge – Mobile video conferencing
The company wanted to have a single, pre-configured video conferencing facility available to its staff that could be used in various locations around the offices.
Edge Vision challenge:
Delivering all of the top quality conferencing features you would expect from a professional system within a portable chassis that makes this valuable resource more available to those working within your organisation. It has to provide a quality service in order that everyone will take advantage of the technology but it has to be readily available and easy to use. Edge Vision has developed Mobile Meeting Point +to fill this requirement. It is a custom AV facility that is mobile and pre-configured for your business needs.
Lessons learnt:
Companies do not think of video conferencing as something that can be mobile yet. They have an image of the old-fashioned dedicated video conferencing facilities that reside in a single meeting room and that are used occasionally. The ability to provide a mobile facility that provides tremendous quality of sound and vision is both welcome and surprising to companies.
Business advantage: The company is able to make better use of its video conferencing facilities because they are not static. This means that the cost benefits offered by video conferencing are available to the company and the employees can collaborate effectively and with ease with colleagues across the globe.
