With the advanced PTZ Auto Framing feature, the camera automatically track the target in a comfortable viewing with smooth Pan-Tilt-Zoom movement regardless of posture, movement and what one is wearing. Since the camera does most of the work automatically, the operator can spend its time efficiently. 
This camera harnesses powerful AI-powered video analytics that can automatically detect and track the position of a presenter within the camera frame. As the presenter moves, the camera’s pan/tilt/zoom mechanism ensures that the presenter is always framed naturally, without the need for a human camera operator to manually follow their movements. 
Automatically and reliably shoots video for youWith Sony’s newly developed AI analytics algorithm, it detects and tracks the subject, even when there are several people in the frame. 
Available later in the summer. If you need any additional information, you can always reach out to your ClarkPowell sales representative or contact a ClarkPowell specialist ✆ 800 532 1099 ⓔ info@clark-powell.com
ClarkPowell has recently learned that Leightronix will no longer be using their reseller channel. This means we will no longer be able to offer Leightronix hardware upgrades, VieBit subscriptions, or Total Info subscriptions.
What does this mean for you and your organization? You can still purchase Viebit subscriptions and Total Info subscriptions directly through the Leightronix website. If you currently use under warranty Leightronix hardware, you’ll need to go through the Leightronix website customer portal and create a support request. If you have out-of-warranty hardware, you can also use the web portal, but be aware there’s a charge for support. Also, it’s unclear how long Leightronix will continue to service out-of-warranty hardware. ClarkPowell will always try to assist whenever you have equipment issues, and that won’t change if you run into problems with your Leightronix equipment. Our hope is that Leightronix will continue to assist ClarkPowell if we are troubleshooting Leightronix hardware/software. If you are interested in replacing your current Leightronix hardware, video-on-demand, or streaming service with a different system, ClarkPowell also works with Cablecast. Cablecast offers solutions similar to Leightronix, but they also offer additional solutions that may fit your needs. In addition to video servers, Cablecast also offers 24/7 streaming, video-on-demand, and OTT solutions. And their support is top notch. If you need any additional information on Leightronix and/or Cablecast, or if you would like to schedule a demo, you can reach out to Warren Baker ✆ 800 532 1099 ⓔ warren@clark-powell.com Our goal, as always, is to help you find the best solution to fit your application and your budget. 
 Tony Whitener, Special Projects Director of the MSC, pictured above cutting the ribbon and officially opening the new building. The MSC Phase II building is a two-story, 75,000 square-foot facility that houses four local manufacturers that graduated from the MSC’s business incubator and expanded MSC services. The MSC is a facility where innovative concepts may be put through design or the research and development processes. It's where products and prototypes are tested; manufacturing processes are fine-tuned and accurate cost and product studies are performed. The MSC has the mission of supporting US manufacturers and creating and retaining US manufacturing jobs.  ClarkPowell partnered with the MSC to design and install an audiovisual solution in the new building. The project was to include training rooms, conference rooms and a large networking space to aide in the growing resources provided by the center.  ClarkPowell chose to go with the new Biamp AV over IP solution due to equipment availability for a hard deadline for opening and for how user-friendly the solution is. The Biamp control solution consists of a Biamp Impera Tango control processor and a Biamp Forte DSP with the combination of Biamp Apprimo TEC-X 2000 room controllers and touch panels  The install also includes a conference room featuring a NEC LED video wall with an ultra narrow bezel and two 10,000 lumens laser projectors that are edge blended to fill the Da-Lite fixed screen.  The install included 12 Sony displays ranging from 55” to 100” and each room has an individual room control.  ClarkPowell's Account Manager, Mark Lawing seen here routing different signage players to various displays for the opening event. The Apprino 10” touch panel in the rack room allows any source selected to be routed to any display in the building. Sony's slim, energy-efficient professional displays combine spectacular 4K HDR picture quality with versatile integration options and low running costs. Sony's full range of BRAVIA Professional Displays offer a full range of sizes from 32-inch for huddle spaces and small meeting rooms, to our flagship 100-inch display for large conference rooms and digital signage applications. The displays are ideal for commercial applications where it is essential to captivate and clearly communicate with viewers. Available in sizes up to 100”, BRAVIA Professional Displays harness the latest Sony picture processing technologies to deliver impressively bright, vivid images bursting with exquisite detail and rich, lifelike color. They’re made for business, fitting seamlessly into today’s networked AV environments with smart customization and management features. Impressively small, light 6,400/5,300 lumen* laser projectors A discreet blend-in design, minimal maintenance needs and flexible installation options make it the natural partner for today’s integrated AV environments. *VPL-PHZ61 6,400 lm (7,000 lm center) / VPL-PHZ51 5,300 lm (5,800 lm center). Bold, rich color, even in brightly lit rooms Even powerful projectors can suffer from washed-out image colors in strongly lit rooms. Exclusive to Sony, Bright View delivers high-impact imagery without sacrificing color. Newly improved Reality Creation ensures images, diagrams, and text look clear and sharp, even in bright conditions. Intelligent Settings with Ambiance matches projected images with your environment for an enhanced viewing experience. There’s even an ambient light sensor to measure room brightness. 
Enjoy optimum pictures while saving energy The VPL-PHZ61/51 makes sound business sense, helping you reduce running costs in corporate and educational environments. A new Auto Light Output feature works in conjunction with Ambiance, optimizing image quality and maintaining high visibility while reducing power consumption. 
4K 60P input support Support for 4K 60P input signals makes life simpler when you’re using the VPL-PHZ61/51 in multi-screen set-ups with flat panel sub-screens. Just split the same 4K signal to drive all your displays, with no conversion needed. There’s also a high-performance image scaler that effortlessly converts 4K input signals to WUXGA resolution while achieving close to 4K image quality. Now optimized for 4K60P signals, Reality Creation is Sony’s unique picture enhancement feature that gives projected images even greater crispness and depth. There’s also support for devices with content protection such as 4K UHD players. 
Smart, installation-friendly design Enjoy flexible installation options with a generous +55% vertical lens shift range, making it easy to achieve perfectly proportioned pictures without long pole mounts or keystone correction when the projector's ceiling mounted. We've also widened the throw ratio range, simplifying replacement of a previously installed projector without the hassle of re-positioning an existing ceiling mount. 
Brighter for longer with less maintenance There’s plenty of innovation inside the VPL-PHZ61/51 to keep pictures looking clear and bright over the projector’s operational lifetime with minimal maintenance – in any environment.

The most popular electric screens now feature SightLine technology, a new cable drop option that gives the impression of a floating screen. Instead of the traditional black drop, screens with SightLine are suspended by slim, sleek cables that help preserve the architecture of the space. The screen virtually floats in the room and completely disappears when not in use. This makes SightLine ideal for today’s hybrid applications where office room environments are not solely dedicated to one single presentation, meeting room or video conferencing application.  Simplified Screen Ordering and and Future-Proof Room Planning SightLine makes it easier than ever to order and install a screen. The cable drop extends any length up to 70”/180 cm, eliminating the need to calculate black drop ahead of time. Just order the screen with the SightLine feature, and you’re on your way. Once onsite, the drop distance is easily programmed to any height using the wall switch. After this, the screen will deploy to the same height each time. You can make changes as needed. And if future projector technology requires a different viewing height, SightLine easily accommodates a quick change to the position of the projection area.

We have all been impacted by the recent issues with the supply chain and price inflation. ClarkPowell has had challenges trying to keep up with demand during these times.
As you probably know, our AV solutions typically require many parts and pieces that are often sourced from several different manufacturers. Supply chain issues have increased lead times for a lot of the equipment we recommend. Often, missing one item can keep us from being able to deliver the system we’ve designed for you. We continually look for new ways to speed up the process to meet our clients’ deadlines, like exchanging what we initially suggested to another reliable product or finding ways to provide certain functionality now and everything else when the rest of the gear is available. So, to all our clients, thank you for your continued patience with the challenges we’re all facing. And to anyone out there who is considering new AV solutions, it’s important to plan ahead and ClarkPowell can help. ✆ 800 532 1099 ⓔ info@clark-powell.com |
