Visualisers offer real value in times of budget uncertainty


Following an extremely successful first quarter of 2010, leading Educational Visualiser manufacturer AVerMedia has noticed that more customers are being turned on to Visualisers because they offer great performance, matched with unrivalled value for money in these budget strapped times. Marketing Manager Nigel Roberts stated “Visualisers can be used for so much in the classroom, from simple ‘show and tell’ exercises to peer-to-peer assessment and student portfolio applications. The beauty of the Visualiser is its straightforward installation, portability and ease of use, which few classroom technologies can compete with” Roberts added. “All of our Visualisers come with our licence free Aver+ software, which has been really well received following its launch at BETT2010”. “In these times where maximising budget and return on investment are critical, Visualisers can save schools money as Teaching Assistants no longer have to photocopy handouts for every pupil and the educational benefits of spontaneous presentations due to the immediacy of the product are well documented and supported by industry leaders”, he concluded.

One of the stars in AVerMedias product line up is the V355AF Visualiser, which features a ‘one touch’ record to USP stick capability. By using this feature, which in accessible from the front panel of the Visualiser or via the hand held controller, users can record up to 110 minutes of high quality video, direct to a thumb drive. The V355AF features a built-in microphone in the camera held, plus additional mic input in the base, which means that the whole class can have input. The video files are saved in user friendly format and are playable on both mac and PC’s. The one-touch record function is a boon for recording evidence of pupils /students work and with a powerful 80 x zoom and a 5 megapixel camera, which gives 1080P resolution, stunning images can be recorded.

From the entry level, flexi-neck autofocus CP155, offering 3.2MP camera and 16 x zoom, to 160x zoom to the full featured SPB350 platform Visualiser, AVerMedia offer a range of Visualisers for every application. In addition to great product features and clear benefits to end users, all AVerMedia products include a full 5 year Warranty for complete peace of mind.
