Among its products for higher education, Biamp Systems debuted the mobile control system called Oreno at InfoComm 2015.
Oreno is a mobile control solution that enables end users to manipulate different technological solutions in a conference room setting.
Oreno features a user interface, creator and manager settings. It can be utilized on any device equipped with a compatible browser, can adapt to any display real estate and does not require software to function.
End users can save Oreno as a browser bookmark on their devices, and log onto the program once with their credentials. From there, end users can select which rooms they would like to control, and which corresponding technology systems they want to control.
“Colleges are great examples of large facilities that have multiple meetings rooms, lecture theaters, classrooms, all sorts of different rooms that can be used,” said Graeme Harrison, Executive VP of Marketing at Biamp Systems. “They have a teaching staff with mobile devices, phones, tablets, that sort of thing. The idea of Oreno is that concept the control device is your device, not a room device…It really allows seamless control.”
Harrison says that Oreno provides multiple benefits to integrators and end users, including saving time to work on more valuable projects, money on an integration consultation, user-friendliness, and easy-to-control features.
He says that end users can even grant students access to a room with Oreno.
“You can choose to give your students different levels of access when appropriate, so everyone can have a different level of access if you need to, and group those people together as well,” Harrison said. “You might want students to control some rooms and not others.”
Even though Oreno is targeted to conference room settings, Harrison says he foresees Oreno moving into distance learning spaces and beyond.
“Higher education institutions are certainly a great use case for Oreno,” he said. “It’s mainly for conference rooms, but what we’re seeing more and more of in higher education is distance learning, which is what we’d call conferences.”
