SCREENS Project
The classroom of the future
Technological changes in e-learning and audiovisual technologies require European SMEs in these fields to innovate and develop their products accordingly in order to stay competitive. With this in mind, a public-private partnership of five European SMEs and three research organisations was initiated to develop a new audiovisual system. The SCREENS consortium combines new generation flat panel screens, USB connectivity, intuitive user interfacing, and high frequency digital video transmission. One of the main applications of this technology is the educational network, as a cutting-edge training tool in a computer classroom. Another important application area well equipped meeting rooms.
SCREENS system consist of Video Switch Units, Video Hubs and User Interface panel and student's table unit. Video Switch Unit can be equipped with an optional USB board, which supports mouse and keyboard remote control. Video Hubs are installed on crossroads of digital video cables. The system is controlled by a separate User Interface Panel or software.
