[AG-TECH] AG hardware improvements and HD content sharing

[Natalia Costas]

Hi,

We are collecting information regarding hardware improvements for new 
rooms. I gathered some advices from our experience, like:

- Include a small UPS
- Include a better graphis cards
- Maybe reduce from 4 huge servers.. only 2 (audio+video+control and 
display on a different computer)
- Provide a touch screen device for lecturers.. (not sure how do that 
for collaborating groups)... that might be a tabletPC or a mimio device.
- Maybe TFT/Plasma screens for smaller rooms
- Maybe  mobile equipment for particular rooms
- ...

I would like to know things you missed in your initial (or default AG) 
desings or you installed and think they provided improved usability or 
features that are interesting, or maybe improved now obsolete AG 
features. Or new technologies that might be of interest.

On the other side, I am interested about how to share high definition 
contents with other rooms, maybe some of you already have that kind of 
set up and could guide us. We are involved on an AG design for medical 
meetings and we are working with them on their needs and how to provide 
solutions to them.

Thanx a lot again,
Kind regards,
