01732 759725 32 BUSINESS BRIEFING Integrated eco-system Vivitek’s product offering includes visual display hardware, wireless collaboration and digital signage. The NovoConnect Ecosystem brings all three together with a choice of four implementation options to suit customers’ replacement or renewal needs. 1 Wireless collaboration add-on. Available in a variety of models for education and corporate applications, add-on devices can be retro-fitted to any projector or display, giving users the ability to share content wirelessly with one or more screens, from a laptop or smartphone, for collaboration or digital signage applications (dependent on model). All devices connect using the same simple steps, with connection options including direct mirroring, the NovoConnect app, the Launchnovo.com web browser, or the LauncherPlus USB dongle. 2 All-in-one solutions. Vivitek produces a range of all-in-one devices with the convenience of NovoConnect collaboration functionality built in. These include the NovoProjector (100-300in, 4500 ANSI Lumens, lamp or laser based model), the NovoDisplay (43-75in, non-interactive), the NovoTouch (65-86in, interactive touch panel, with built-in videoconferencing) and the NovoWall (LED wall for high brightness and large sizes displays up to 220in). The three display products also include digital signage functionality, with seamless transition between wireless collaboration (screen sharing, annotation, moderation) and digital signage modes when the meeting/collaboration session is over or before it starts. 3 LauncherPlus for guest laptop connectivity. This plug-and-play USB device enables any guest or team member to connect instantly to a NovoConnect device from a Windows or Mac PC/ laptop without the need to install the NovoConnect app. 4 Digital signage add-on. These add-on NovoDS devices transform any Distribution by Northamber To broaden its market reach in the AV and IT channel, Vivitek sales manager, Greg Mack, recently appointed Northamber as its primary UK distribution partner. As a leading independent distributor of AV products and signage, Northamber already supplies presentation technology to resellers and installers across the UK, making it an excellent fit for Vivitek and its ambitious future plans. The addition of the Vivitek brand to Northamber’s portfolio gives the distributor’s customers access to a complete range of presentation and digital signage products, including projectors and full display solutions with wireless collaboration and signage built in (touchscreen and non-touchscreen). In addition to this, Vivitek offers a suite of wireless collaboration and digital signage add-on solutions for use with existing displays. Vivitek users in meeting rooms benefit from easy wireless collaboration and digital signage, backed up by a consistent user experience from any device – be it a laptop, iPad, smartphone, Android, Windows or iOS-run device, thanks to the cross-platform mirroring ability that’s engineered in. Vivitek has thought about IT and facility managers, too; with Vivitek’s solution, they can rest assured that the remote management and network integration will not add to their workload and that data security is set to the most stringent levels. Resellers, meanwhile, benefit from the AV/IT integration that’s happening in the market and filtering through to the meeting room; they can use Vivitek’s extensive range to strengthen customer relationships and develop additional sales opportunities by addressing customers’ evolving (and ever more complex) requirements, with an economical and versatile eco-system of AV software and devices. Vivitek launched to the market at ISE 2009. Since then, beyond its initial range of projection devices it expanded rapidly to now offer solutions that truly maximise the interaction and use of any display device, while driving productivity and collaboration across a multitude of settings. The power behind the now respected brand, is leading Taiwanese technology manufacturer Delta Electronics. Founded in 1971, Delta is a global provider of switching power supplies and thermal management products. It has a further feather in its cap, as the company is an OEM manufacturer for well-known professional AV manufacturers. One of the leading manufacturers in the world by turnover, Delta Electronics launched Vivitek in order to create its own global AV/signage brand and to develop the technology it has been designing, manufacturing and supplying on an OEM basis since 2011. Introducing Vivitek There’s much excitement at Northamber with the recent news that the distributor now offers AV solutions from Vivitek, a leading manufacturer of visual display and presentation solutions. Unique to Vivitek’s product line is the Novo Ecosystem, a cost-effective, versatile family of wireless collaboration and digital signage solutions designed to meet the diverse and evolving needs of businesses, retailers, healthcare providers, educational establishments and the public sector organisations. No wonder Northamber’s eager to tell us more!
