HD Visual Communications Unit Installation Examples Vol. 5 Design Company has a total of nine branches worldwide. They work closely to develop highly unified designs for numerous product groups, and to create designs that meet local needs. They previously used a conventional videoconference system, and while it allowed them to hold meetings, it didn't let them actually examine designs, for which you have to meticulously study shapes, colours and textures. The only option for this kind of close examination was to have their designers travel back and forth. However, the need to rapidly create competitive global designs increased, and speedier, more detailed communication between the distant locations was essential. The company had also experienced how business travelling could be constrained by the effects of things like the influenza epidemic and other natural disasters. As a result, they took this as an opportunity to consider installing a high-resolution videoconference system that offered sufficient cost-performance while allowing them to examine highly detailed design points. Using smart communications to create global designs. Speeding up collaboration by connecting overseas designers. Motivation for Installation Customer Information The ideas of easily sharing sharp, clear images in real-time and holding comfortable conversations with no sound interruptions were extremely appealing. They also liked the ability to use a sub camera in design prototype confirmation meetings to clearly check even the shapes and textures of tiny parts. The fact that they were able to examine designs at a level that was previously impossible led to their decision to install the new system. System Selection Points Seamless communications connect Tokyo and New York. A sub camera enables clear, detailed confirmation. Smooth communication lets everyone check details.
