AMX Announces Acquisition of SchoolView Technologies

AMX SchoolView

Richardson, TX (PRWEB) July 19, 2011

AMX®, the leading provider of solutions that simplify the implementation, maintenance, and use of technology to create effective environments, announced today the acquisition of SchoolView Technologies, LLC., a Plano, Texas based company specializing in building comprehensive software that consolidates management and control of diverse school technologies at the district, building and classroom level, on a single, comprehensive platform. AMX introduced a partnership with SchoolView Technologies in February of 2010 and launched the AMX|SchoolView solutions combining hardware and software that integrates disparate building systems to deliver a central command center in a single location using existing data networks, and capable of scaling for future technology integration.

AMX|SchoolView solutions are hugely successful due in part to its reputation within the education market of controlling costs while providing the highest quality of service – all despite a soft economy. This complete, scalable solution consolidates management and control of traditional bell, clock and PA systems, while addressing the management and control needs of classroom audio, video and presentation tools at the district, building and classroom level. As a result, innovative institutions have found the key to controlling cost is simple; capitalize on their existing disparate technologies through automation and control.

“We have been impressed with both the quality of the products and the people at SchoolView over the past 18 months and are glad to officially welcome them to the AMX family. AMX is capitalizing on the success of this partnership with a solution that aims directly at controlling costs at a time when K-12 schools are being challenged more and more to show a true return on their investment,” said AMX President and CEO Rashid Skaf. “AMX|SchoolView is the only scalable education solution set that allow schools to start with certain critical components and continue to add more later to eventually take full advantage of our ‘unified control’ solutions to manage connected technology, automation, security and energy utilization.”

AMX|SchoolView provides a host of features essential for innovative learning environments. Administrators and support staff can perform remote system diagnostics, track projector use, lamp life allowing efficient scheduling of routine maintenance such as lamp replacement and instant notification if devices are disconnected providing financial savings through theft deterrence. AMX|SchoolView includes components for safe and crime free campuses such as centralized control of security cameras to mass alert notifications. Unlike many traditional notification systems, AMX|SchoolView can deliver synchronized alerts and messages to all rooms including portable classrooms. Beyond giving administrators and teachers simplified control of the system, the AMX|SchoolView also offers energy savings. It aligns to green-building initiatives that many school districts are facing as it automates management of energy-consuming resources like PCs and AV equipment, and further increases cost reductions by simplifying maintenance and support, which extends technology lifecycles.

“The education market is currently facing two diametrically opposing obstacles – lower funding and higher demand for innovative use of technology,” said AMX Vice President, Education Sales Michael Peveler. “Education customers around the world will benefit because AMX|SchoolView addresses both challenges without increasing costs or compromising technology.”

The AMX|SchoolView includes a host of services designed to help K-12 customers. Funding Opportunities Support offers resources to customers for tracking ARRA funds, and grant opportunities. Grant Writing Services help customers design technology upgrade paths for use in the classroom. System Design/Technical Services show customers ways of taking advantage of existing school data networks when designing new solutions. Information, Research & Resources give teachers, technology directors, administrators or education officials the resources like newsletters, white papers and other educational materials chocked full of insightful information about technology tips and trends. Professional Development Services include continual education programs dedicated to ensuring customers get the opportunity to learn and experience how to get the most from the technology. Needs Analysis helps customers make more informed decisions when purchasing technology by providing one-on-one consultation/analysis of specific school district requirements to ensure the highest return on your investment.

“SchoolView is excited to be a part of a world-class organization like AMX that has successfully installed solutions in tens of thousands of classrooms around the world,” said Michael Yonks, SchoolView Technologies, Inc., president and CEO. “As evident over the past year and a half, we realize AMX is the type of company that mirrors our commitment to growth, quality, and personal integrity.”

Future plans include an AMX|SchoolView Education Technology Tour tentatively scheduled for this fall.

Global Pico Projectors Market to Exceed 97.5 Million Units by 2017, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

San Jose, CA (PRWEB) August 24, 2011

Pico projectors, the most recent marvel of miniaturization of technology, is a revolutionary technology, which is fostering a culture of anywhere and anytime video watching, photo sharing, document reading, making presentations, playing video games and other such activities. The market, which consisted about 10 models and sales of few thousand units in 2008, is forecast to witness a tsunami of new model launches and follow a steep growth trajectory to reach sales of more than 97.5 million units by 2017 as stated by the new market research report on pico projectors. Technological advancements in miniaturization of projector modules, enhancement in picture quality, and declining prices are likely to lead to pico projectors being integrated into more and more consumer electronics devices. Spurred by this activity, embedded pico projectors are expected to become the driving force behind the growth of the overall pico projectors market, taking over from the dominant standalone/accessory pico projectors segment. Apart from mobile handsets, which are expected to stimulate the highest growth in pico projectors market, these modules would also be integrated in other portable devices such as digital cameras, digital camcorders, digital photo frames, laptops, portable media players, mobile TV, and portable gaming devices.

Mobile phones and pico projectors are expected to feed on each other’s success, with pico projectors providing a competitive advantage to the early adopters. Even mobile phone service providers are expected to become proponents of pico projector phones and subsidize them in order to enhance their revenues from content downloading. Pico projectors are expected to become the next best and successful feature in handsets after FM radio and cameras. The technology is being preferred over normal projectors in schools, colleges and other educational institutes owing to their edge in terms of cost, space reduction, simplified operation, and the flexibility to project on to any surface.

Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCOS) microdisplays with color filters was the technology utilized in the initial pico projectors in 2008 and 2009. LCOS with color sequential, Digital Light Processing (DLP), and Laser beam steering (LBS) or scanning MEMS are the other technologies currently being utilized in pico projectors. Going forward, DLP technology is forecast to attain largest market share, followed by LCOS, while MEMS scanning technology would be the fastest growing category. In terms of light source, lasers and LEDs are the two predominantly used sources, with LEDs currently in the dominant position. However, lasers are forecast to surge ahead in the long run after the commercial introduction of direct green laser. Lasers are the ideal light-emitting devices in pico projectors owing to their ability to deliver saturated colors across the broadest gamut of colors, enhanced power efficiency, higher resolution, and focus-free operation.

The US accounts for a lion’s share of the global pico projectors production in volume terms. Many of the pioneering companies involved in pico projectors market are based in the country, which is one of the reasons behind the highly skewed market share in favor of the US.

The pico projectors market is at a high growth stage with several new players entering the market annually. The market may be divided into accessory or standalone pico projectors manufacturers and pico projector modules manufacturers for embedded pico projectors. Major players in the accessory segment include 3M Company, AAXA Technologies Inc., Acer Incorporated, Aiptek Inc., Optoma Corporation, Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., Toshiba Corporation and WowWee Group Limited. Leading module/chipset manufacturers include bTendo Ltd., Lemoptix SA, Light Blue Optics, Luminus Devices Inc., Maradin Ltd., Mezmeriz Inc., Micron Technology Inc., MicroVision Inc., Opus Microsystems Corp., Syndiant Inc., and Texas Instruments Inc.

The research report titled “Pico Projectors: A Global Strategic Business Report” announced by Global Industry Analysts, Inc., provides a comprehensive review of market trends, issues, drivers, company profiles, mergers, acquisitions, product launches and other strategic industry activities.
