With the unprecedented effects of the pandemic this past year, millions of office workers relocated to their homes to work. It may have been a completely new experience to many, but several companies discovered that remote work could be just as productive as working in an office if you have the right tools.

The right tools for the work-from-home revolution turned out to be intuitive and feature-rich video conferencing and collaboration platforms like Zoom and Microsoft Teams. These systems helped workers communicate virtually almost as well as if they were face to face, with voice, video, chat, screen sharing, and other options to make meetings digital.

Do you remember the movie “Wall Street?” The first one, of course, from 1987. You might recall the noisy bullpen scene with the frenzy of stockbrokers cold calling for clients. Who wants to work in that noisy environment?

As it turns out – this pandemic notwithstanding – many people work in relatively noisy if not quite as frenzied environments. Open office concepts have surged in popularity since the 1980s debut of Wall Street. And while today’s open offices feature many workers at computers and not working the phones, voice calls still happen, people still talk in walkways and at desks, and ambient noise is a factor in open office distraction. 

Simulation-based education is a powerful and growing teaching tool filling in the gaps traditional, book-based teaching tools can’t reach in specific professional fields. Among the fastest-growing areas of simulation-based learning is the healthcare industry.

A healthcare simulation lab provides medical students with a realistic environment where they can safely and effectively practice diagnostic, clinical, and surgical procedures. Current research shows that simulated scenarios followed by debriefing sessions create a rich and engaging learning environment for students. But that’s not all. Read our latest blog article to learn three ways a high-fidelity simulation lab adds value to your teaching hospital or medical school in Chicago, IL.   

Video walls and digital signage are some of the hottest AV solutions on the market. And there’s no better time than right now to educate, engage and enthrall your audience with a unique and eye-catching method for content display. But video wall solutions are not plug-and-play devices — they are hugely technical and complex installations that hinge on expert-level knowledge of video wall technology and AV system design. Architects, electricians, and your internal team are likely ill-equipped to manage the audiovisual design and engineering processes required to implement video wall solutions on small and large scales. If your Tempe, AZ, business is interested in a video wall installation, you need the help of an experienced audiovisual integrator like Level 3 Audiovisual. Keep reading to learn about three technical considerations that require the guiding hand of an expert AV team.

Video walls are an increasingly popular tool for digital signage, internal and public communication, command and control centers, retail advertising and promotion, and much more. Several display technologies can be used for them, much like the types of choices one might have for displays in company conference rooms. 

LED panels are an excellent choice for a video wall display in many applications. There’s a reason LED technology has taken over the TV display market, and many of the same advantages carry through for video wall applications. If you are considering a large format display project for your Phoenix, AZ company, keep reading below for three reasons to go with an LED video wall.

Research shows the majority of learning and critical analysis occurs during the debriefing session of healthcare simulation training. During debriefing, medical students have the chance to not only hear feedback from their instructors but see — through video playback — what went right, what went wrong, and what can be improved upon next time. It’s easy to miss small details during the hustle of a simulated experience, but debriefing opens a critical space for reflection and evaluation. The result is medical students learn and absorb valuable lessons to take with them into the next simulation and real-life scenarios. Keep reading to learn how simulation debriefing leads to better outcomes — and the components you need for successful debriefing for your Chicago, IL, simulation lab.

In 2020, the pandemic turned the Zoom videoconferencing platform from an excellent business collaboration tool created by a fast-growing startup into a household word. Zoom became the default video conferencing solution for business, socializing and communication.

While casual users may think Zoom is just a video communication app, businesses and organizations know it is a powerful collaboration platform. But many organizations already have existing conference room systems with legacy videoconferencing capabilities. And while many workers are still remote, some employees don't have the option and must work in an office. How can you meld Zoom into your meeting spaces to allow both groups and individuals at your Phoenix, AZ offices to collaborate seamlessly with remote workers and teams anywhere? That’s what Zoom Rooms are all about. Keep reading to see how to integrate Zoom into any meeting space.

Over the past several years, audio over IP (internet protocol) has swiftly gained traction as a cost-effective, efficient, and streamlined solution for distributing audio signals in commercial spaces.

Audio over IP (also called networked audio) is a distributed audio system that transmits digitalsignals over a standard ethernet network instead of traditional analog cables. IP audio remains digital from source to endpoint and all connections are managed and routed using software. Because all devices are on the same network, audio signals can be transmitted to multiple sites simultaneously.
