CCS Partners Work Together on Epson BrightLink Pro Audio-Visual Solution

by CCSColorado on May 17, 2013

In recent months, we highlighted new innovations here at the CCS Presentation Systems blog from our manufacturing partner Epson and its launch of the Brightlink Pro interactive projector.  

Now, we see that two of our other partners – - Chief (mounts and racks) and Da-Lite (large screen technology) – have worked together to provide essential parts for Epson’s BrightLink Pro 1410Wi under the banner of The Chief Interactive System.  

Epson is working with a custom Chief mount (see left) along with Da-Lite’s innovative Interactive Dry Erase Application Screen technology (IDEA). There is an interactive control pad and equipment housed on the screen’s right side and a marker tray. Partnering with top digital manufacturers to provide audio-visual solutions for CCS customers is what we’ve done for years. As a result, customers can see the best new audio-visual technologies available to corporate, educational and government markets.  


We’re excited to see this combination of great technologies coming together in a useful digital AV system for boardrooms and more. Da-Lite’s IDEA technology powers the screen that acts in two incredible ways: as a writeable marker board surface and a low-emitting image projection screen.   

What Chief and Da-Lite have done is upgrade the existing look to include options for today’s boardroom. The screen system is available in cherry/mahogany, teak or silver color schemes. Users can also work cables behind the screens as the four anchor points are one inch off the wall surface for easy installation.   

Epson claims its BrightLink Pro is ‘the world’s most innovative meeting room productivity tool’, and with its partnership with Chief, boardrooms will find new ways to use these tools in a corporate setting.  

CCS Presentation Systems is able to offer our customers the latest technologies in audio-visual solutions, including LCD & plasma displays, boardroom projectors and interactive whiteboards, room control systems, audio systems, high definition videoconferencing systems and more. Today, CCS is one of the largest A/V integrators in the U.S., with more than 350 employees, sales offices in 13 states and annual revenue in excess of $115 million.

Internet Marketing Agency & CCS Presentation Systems Create Joint Venture to Launch Business Digital Signage & Content Management Solutions

by CCSSouthwest on May 16, 2013

Scottsdale, Ariz. (May 14, 2013) – CCS Presentation Systems, one of the largest systems integration firms in the U.S., today announced a new partnership with the Internet Marketing Agency (IMA), a Phoenix-based interactive marketing firm specializing in web development, interactive design and content management services. The two companies will offer turnkey content management solutions to help clients maximize the impact of their digital signage and interactive displays.

“Many companies struggle with developing effective digital signage content that can help them utilize their large format displays to their fullest potential,” said CCS’ CEO John Godbout. “Our venture with IMA makes us the ideal content management solutions partner for businesses in the Southwest.”

IMA will provide creative visual design services and content integration for clients, while CCS will provide system hardware, equipment installation, service and training. All digital signage and content will be integrated with a Content Management System (CMS) installed by CCS. 

CCS offers multiple product lines to enhance presentation effectiveness and customer experiences including interactive SMART Boards, LCD & plasma displays, projectors and control systems. “CCS has provided innovative AV design and integration services for more than 22 years. Our expanded menu of services builds on our existing strengths and will allow us to deliver more value to our clients’ businesses,” said Godbout.  

CCS and IMA will offer self-maintenance or full-agency digital signage content management solutions that can be tailored to fit each client’s budget and communications needs. The client self-maintenance option includes creative visual design of the content templates and content integration with a CMS compatible with digital signage equipment from most major manufacturers. The full-agency maintenance option includes all creative visual design and ongoing content management on a daily to monthly basis. This includes developing a content calendar, content rotation schedule, integrating video, photos or graphic assets, as well as implementing dynamic feeds from social media channels like Facebook or Twitter and outside sources via RSS feeds.

“Content is king, not only online but onsite in a client’s place of business,” said Stephen Heitz with IMA. “Companies have invested in digital signage and interactive display equipment to market their products and services to their customers and manage their internal communications with employees. Doing it in a strategic way will create more impact for their message and deliver better return on their digital signage investments.”
