‘SpeakAndPlay’ – the easy-to-use multimedia solution for efficient visualisation, production, distribution and storage of lively, interactive presentations.

Solutionpark Streaming GmbH, based in Zürich, Switzerland, offers leading-edge presentation tools including ‘SpeakAndPlay’. Consisting of the ‘SpeakersCorner’ multimedia lectern and the ‘PLAY’ web-based production software, ‘SpeakAndPlay’ provides a perfect solution for effective, interactive multimedia lectures, training and conferences.

The “SpeakersCorner”, incorporating a Wacom Interactive Pen Display, allows for quick and precise annotations and sketches with the cordless and battery-free pen directly on-screen and into the presentation. Used as observer or control module, the Interactive Pen Display makes it easy to combine and switch between up to four different devices such as notebook, PC and whiteboard, and to add other content such as videos, audio, print media and even 3D objects into the current presentation at any time. By using ‘SpeakersCorner’, instructors can annotate, point, highlight, sketch and navigate in the most natural and intuitive way – using the digital pen directly on-screen!

The ‘PLAY’ production software captures all kinds of presentations without interfering with the instructor’s hardware. Press conferences, company training and congresses for medical and/or educational institutions can easily be recorded and then broadcast live or on-demand from any web browser.

  

As an easy-to-use multimedia solution, ‘SpeakAndPlay’ allows instructors to spend less time on preparation, presenting, recording and post production, and more time on the quality of their lectures. It offers an ideal platform for intuitive visualization, creation, broadcasting and storage of interactive, lively presentations.

 

Wacom Interactive Pen Display: as simple as using a marker pen on flipcharts or overhead transparencies

The Cintiq Interactive Pen Display links all actions directly to the pen. It provides optimum hand-eye co-ordination, as cursor movement and actions take place directly under the pen and can be precisely executed on the full-colour display. Particularly in education and training situations, the need for lecturers to write extensively can often distract them from their presentation. This is firstly because it is virtually impossible to write with a mouse, and secondly because presenters often have to turn their back on the audience when writing on a board. With its all-digital workflow, the Cintiq enables the presenter to write, point, highlight and navigate directly on-screen, while constantly facing the audience and concentrating on the presentation.
