August 23rd, 2007 - ILS acquires ownership SpeakersCorner Lectern
ILS has completed its negotiations with Swiss owners of the rights to the SpeakersCorner Lectern in order to be able to bring the product and new derivative designs to the global market. All rights transfer to ILS. The product has been developed 2002 - 2004 at the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich (ETHZ) and since undergone several design alterations by the Swiss firm Tribecraft and Mr. Frank Schefter in cooperation with the manufacturer BFE in Germany, to make it the most stylish and functional design the market can find for a compact electronic lectern housing.
After featuring the product during the Integrated Systems Europe Show and the Infocomm 2007 show in Los Angeles Henk de Groot, owner of ILS, commented: ”We are very glad with the ownership. Not only is the ILS16P SpeakersCorner a great product in our portfolio, it is also an essential support piece in our product development strategy. Owning the design and manufacturing rights allows us to create a 19” rack wide version and a more cost efficient modular approach to support other touch display options, such as our own future lectern modules, ELOtouch monitors and the SMART’s Sympodium Dual Touch line.

Like with sho-Q, the operation of the total streaming system is just as intuitive, and training is minimal. A few buttons will initiate the studio-session and allow for manipulation of pre-set camera views mixing the presenter with the presentation output. Transitions are seamless; it only takes one touch to have the presenter in full view, another to have the presentation in full view. Other buttons mix the two in various superpositions.
Further integration of the software systems is planned and the ILS16 lectern is a perfect match to offer the solution in a very attractive and robust lectern package which was designed in Switzerland.
Full XGA image quality streaming has been found a must to create an effective distance learning environment where the student perceives a presence as if he/she were present in the lecture room itself. The VR Presenter system achieves this over regular internet lines at 500Kbps! 
3 serial ports, 2 LAN ports, 10 relay switches allow easy implementation of control protocol standards. Sho-Q Presenter provides the ideal support for multiple MS PowerPoint presentations on the integrated 22” display.
Just like the ILS16 SpeakersCorner, the ILS24 comes professionally pre-wired for any PC, display and optional equipment in use such as a document camera. Also you can switch to the connectors for notebooks on the wing tablets. By implementing 2 Extron 4-way and 2-way switchers next to a KVM switch, you can now switch to different sources while the audience views the display output without interruption from the extended graphics port of the PC. The wing tablets have two height positions; the lower level was added to accommodate a visualizer more comfortably.
ETHZ designed the product to satisfy its internal needs and that of many universities for a robust but compact alternative to the large tables and cabinets often in the way of good teaching. In its current form it is manufactured by BFE Studio und Medien Systeme GmbH. The default system allows integration of PC, LAN and audio amplification and mounts the SMART technologies Sympodium ID series for interactivity. It is also pre-wired for other devices and features a straightforward large KVM switch to guide output of such devices to the projection screen.
