COLLABORATION SYSTEMS
What are Collaboration Systems?
The collaborative work or learning environment breaks down the
traditional, large working group topology. Rather than a single leader presenting
a topic to other team members, each team member has the opportunity to lead a
presentation or discussion in smaller, more agile cooperative workgroups. Within
the collaborative setting, each team member contributes based on his or her
core strengths, making the whole workgroup effort much stronger than any one
individual member and, in turn, more cohesive and productive. Large, complex
projects can be divided into a series of small, more easily managed segments,
which are then brought together to create the final deliverable.
Collaboration systems offer several advantages:
• Multiple, smaller workgroup spaces can be created within a single, large room,
thus maximizing space utilization. Alternately, collaboration spaces can be
created within an existing work area or classroom, allowing workgroups to meet
on an ad hoc basis, quickly and easily, without disrupting the work of others in
the room.
• Workgroups can be formed, or re-formed, as project needs develop or change
over time.
• Workgroups can be varying sizes, typically from as few as two members to as
many as eight, depending on the scope of work to be accomplished by each
group. Individual team members can be part of one or more workgroups, based
on their areas of expertise.
• Workgroups can meet as needed, whether once a week or several times each
day, coming together to discuss the project, problem, breakthrough, or obstacle.
What is Extron TeamWork
®
?
Extron TeamWork is a new concept in collaborative AV system design.
It works with virtually any furniture system, new or currently in use.
Unlike other collaborative systems that are designed around specific,
proprietary furniture systems that must be installed new, TeamWork
can be installed with any classroom or business furniture system. In
fact, there’s a very good chance that TeamWork can be installed with
the furniture system you’re using today.
Fully Customizable
TeamWork is fully customizable to meet any collaboration need in
three easy steps:
1. Select a switcher and the appropriate combination of HDMI, DisplayPort,
or VGA “Show Me” cables or Retractors
2. Select an IP Link control processor
3. Select a Cable Cubby enclosure or Table Mount Kit
Pre-configured TeamWork packages, for four to six users, are also available for fast
implementation with minimal setup.
Simple, intuitive operation: Extend - Connect - Share
TeamWork operation is simple and intuitive. To start the TeamWork system, simply
connect one of the system’s “Show Me” control cables to the video output on your
device. As soon as an active signal is detected, the display will be powered on. By
pressing the “Share” button on your “Show Me” cable, the button lights and the
switcher automatically selects the appropriate input. When you’re done, simply
disconnect your laptop and walk away. An integrated inactivity timer automatically
turns off the display after a pre-determined time period. TeamWork facilitates
collaboration without getting in the way.
