We live in a world where the development of new technologies is accelerating at a faster pace than ever before. Throughout history, humans have developed technologies for the purpose of improving certain aspects of life. Technological developments have made us more efficient workers, faster travellers, and have enabled us to immediately connect with people around the world.

 

Modern workplaces with a strong culture now provide advanced tools, systems and resources that enable staff to get their jobs done wherever and whenever they choose. Full-service solutions provider, BAP Technology Consultants Limited, offers audiovisual and light dimming technology to empower organisations so that team members can work effectively. For Tricor, a global provider of integrated business, corporate and investor services, BAP installed several new systems across their Hong Kong HQ at Hopewell Centre in Wanchai.

 

BAP adopted the latest XTP SystemsR by Extron to fulfill Tricor’s request for a hybrid transmission system, a system that is compatible with analog signals, such as VGA, while being able to catch HDMI or DVI signals from new devices like Apple TV, tablets and the latest notebooks. This presents numerous opportunities for all staff to get more great work done. XTP Systems delivers extremely high switching and transmission performance to support a wide range of video formats, including the highest resolution HDMI and DVI signals. It is also designed for optimum performance and 24/7 reliability, therefore modular components are hot-swappable so that the processor can be serviced or reconfigured without powering down the entire unit.

FRONTIERS OF INNOVATION

A major challenge was the installation of lighting and audiovisual devices in Tricor’s boardroom and training rooms, so that they could be controlled individually and in specific combined modes. To this end, a matrix system was built and programmed by an experienced AV specialist. However, the matrix of signaling was the most complex part of this project. BAP had to make sure the cable conduits, wiring, and lighting circuits could accommodate the matrix design. Their professional AV designers built a user-friendly control that could be managed with ease.

 

Additionally, the new system is operable via iPad, providing users mobility, flexibility and strengthening operation support. BAP’s design allows a single iPad to control each venue remotely, and its interface is made to look just like the touch panel control, making it user-friendly.

 

BAP stands out because its work focuses not just on technology, but also aesthetics. In fact, aesthetics is involved in everything that they do. All input panels, wall-mounted controls, tabletop controls match the office design – a service that helps to differentiate them among competitors.

 

Traditional work environments are becoming increasingly unproductive and will soon be outmoded, if they aren’t already. The tech-driven workplace is the future and will be essential for businesses looking to stay ahead.
