ELEXOS DEMONSTRATES ADVANCED MEETING ROOM SYSTEM AT INFOCOMM GUI GALLERY

Las Vegas, June 18, 2008. Elexos was among the world’s top independent Crestron programmers invited to present at the InfoComm 2008 System Programming and GUI Design Gallery.

Elexos presented a demonstration system showcasing the power of Crestron’s RoomView® Server 7.0 Edition and Microsoft® Exchange Server, in an enterprise-wide meeting room scheduling and management system. The demonstration consisted of two panels. The first, mounted outside each meeting room, would announce the current event and enable users to view the room's schedule, and find and reserve an available room based on the desired day, time, capacity, layout and AV facility.

BEING GREEN. Based on each room's scheduled status (vacant, occupied), the outside weather, sun position and window exposure, the system would automatically set each room’s energy settings to its optimum “Green Mode” levels. During the meeting it would continuously monitor the room's occupancy and reset the room to its “vacant” Green Mode if the meeting ended early or never started. RFID was employed to identify and authenticate users, automatically reading their ID cards as they approach the panel.

The other panel, inside the meeting room, would confirm the scheduled meeting, display the default Green Mode energy settings (enabling override for the green-challenged) and provide full-featured AV and environmental control for the meeting. The demonstration employed a touch of humor, with satirical characters pictured as the meeting leaders and a Green warning that "changing these settings may lead to .. humanity's exinction" on the energy override page.

Elexos' CEO, John Meyer, remarked "We are very proud of our demonstration. Some demonstrations were just showing off eye-candy, while ours had real, leading edge functionality. Researching and building this demo has prepared us to build the real thing for the client that's ready to enjoy these benefits."
