ezRoom Line Expanded to Meet Full Spectrum of Classroom Integrated Multimedia Scenarios

WOODBURY, MN, (Jan 12, 2009)

Recognizing that a “one-size-fits-all” approach doesn’t adequately address the audio-visual (A/V) integrated multimedia needs of a majority of K-12 classrooms, Calypso Control Systems has added two configuration options to its ezRoom Classroom Bundle. With the addition of the ezRoom-100 and ezRoom-500 Classroom Bundles, Calypso’s solutions can cost-effectively address the full spectrum of classroom A/V integrated multimedia scenarios — from the simplest to the most sophisticated.

Like the original ezRoom Bundle, the ezRoom-100 and -500 are complete A/V solutions that address the evolving technology needs of K-12 classrooms.

Leveraging an open architecture platform, the ezRoom solution enables districts to put in place an integrated multimedia infrastructure that can seamlessly expand to match evolving teaching and technology needs.

“A proven solution for helping schools create learning environments where technology integrates with the lesson plans, the ezRoom solution can now support the needs of districts of all sizes, sophistication levels and budgets,” said David H. Parish, Ph.D., president of Calypso Control Systems. “With the addition of the ezRoom-100 and -500 to our line of wholeroom solutions, districts have access to the tools to create and benefit from 21st Century Classrooms.”

Each of the ezRoom solutions brings together state-of-the-art control, user interface, audio and connectivity products quickly, reliably and cost effectively. All of the ezRoom models provide administrators and faculty with the tools necessary to achieve"21st Century Classroom” environments.

The ezRoom-100, an entry-level package, offers intuitive, reliable button control and quality audio to classrooms where projectors, computers and DVD players are used. The ezRoom-100 includes a wall-mount button panel with built-in timer, a classroom audio amplifier for clear, crisp sound, and a CAT5 wall plate for fast and easy wiring. Currently shipping, the ezRoom-100 has an MSRP of $649.00 with special K-12 pricing available.

The ezRoom-500, a mid-range package, offers the same features as the ezRoom-100 with the added value of networked projector control for remote device monitoring by administers and desktop control by teachers. The ezRoom- 500 features a wall-mounted touch panel controller for easy use, and a multiinput audio amplifier to accommodate multiple audio sources at once. Currently shipping, the ezRoom-500 has an MSRP of $1,525.00 with special K-12 pricing available.

In addition to ease of use by teachers and administrators, all of the ezRoom Classroom Bundles are designed for seamless integration and hassle-free installation. Since the ezRoom bundles bring together the pieces in a preassembled package, the solution reduces the installation time and takes the guess work out of piecing together parts from multiple manufacturers.
