Distance education and training

In this modern day and age, companies often provide various forms of training at their head offices, branches and at regional levels to ensure or improve on productivity, customer satisfaction and profitability. Time is of the essence and a costly factor. Therefore, all managers must be innovative in transmitting information efficiently and at the right time. We have the solution: videoconferencing systems enable training courses to employees in regional and branch offices simultaneously. The multipoint capacity allows everyone concerned to reunite wherever their site.

Communication between administrators

It is possible to engage in videoconferencing through a PC simply by adding a microphone, speakers, hardware adaptors and softwares which allows audio, video, data and documents to be transmitted by ISDN telephone lines or IP network. The user of such a system can communicate instantaneously with one or many managers. Certain companies use this as an efficient system to conduct distant interviews.

Multimedia videoconferencing

Videoconferencing is essentially an audio and video bidirectional telecommunication system, meaning that the users, each at different sites, can see and hear each other as though they were side by side in the same room. This communication mode also allows graphic transmission of electronic slides, data, pictures, video, ultrasounds, x-rays, scanners and information from all other medical examining devices whose results appear on a monitor.

Apart from a client who wishes to add a site to his network, CEV rarely sells one videoconferencing unit. We create a network when we connect many videoconferencing units. In order for users at different sites to communicate with each other, they must all be linked to the same bridge. Obviously, users in seven different sites cannot speak at the same time. The bridge helps manage and control the interventions. The voice of the person initiating the conversation activates the microphone; his voice is then heard by the other participants who see him simultaneously on the screen. After setting up over 400 videoconferencing networks successfully throughout the country, CEV has proven, without a doubt, that its team of technicians has the experience and the knowledge needed to install the most complex network systems.

Multimedia conference rooms

For the last twenty years, CEV has designed, integrated and installed equipment in many conference rooms in Quebec and Ontario, ranging from conservative to luxurious. They were designed with the most advanced communication technology in mind. Now that computers manage multimedia communication efficiently, we have at our disposal numerous tools giving access to many sources of information, making it easier to study files, make clearer decisions, ultimately increasing the administration’s performance leading to a greater profitability for the company.

With the constant changes in technology, all television and video production studios still depend on quality, reliability and performance as being the key factors for successful productions.
