Applied Electronics Delivers Brand New Niagara College TV Studio in Under Six Weeks“We needed everything, basically from the ground up – from the planning, the wire run lists, the equipment installation, and of course, commissioning and test at the end. So the deadline was basically when the students started arriving, and Applied was able to work with us a little bit beforehand to get some idea of where we were going, and once approval actually came through, we were able to work together and get it done in roughly six weeks. So it was pretty amazing.”READ the full project profile for details on the technologies implemented and more photos.

Nureva Span Visual Collaboration SystemThe Nureva Span visual collaboration system transforms a wall into an expansive, digital workspace. The Span system brings all the convenience and flexibility of today’s online and touch technologies to traditional, paper-based collaboration. Visualizing information on a large surface is an intuitive way for people to work together, and Nureva adapts this proven process to the digital age. Using the Span system, groups can work on a wall as they have always done, filling it with digital sticky notes, images and other objects to visualize information. The expansive virtual workspace makes it easy to see lots of information at once, identify patterns and start formulating solutions. And since there is no limit to the number of canvases you can create – panoramic, immersed with the canvas wrap around a corner, or huddled with three displays surrounding the team – there is endless space to explore possibilities and iterate.To book a Nureva Span demo, contact: Applied Electronics, or visit: www.nureva.com/span-system
