Further Evolutions
Towards Smarter Solutions 
• Optimized for data 
– Integration and representation of all sources and types of data 
– Consumer privacy and security 
• Optimized to contribute to end-user workflow efficiency 
– Beyond increasing the bare specifications 
– Strong computing capabilities of products allows to create built-in 
processing and algorithms to improve customer operations 
“The Mammo Tomosynthesis display is the best tool that we have for high-quality 
image display in a busy radiology department. Radiologists can process a 
larger number of studies with a greater degree of accuracy and confidence.“ 
Dr. James Ruiz, MD-Radiologist and breast imaging specialist, Woman’s Hospital, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, 
US 
Further Evolutions
On IoT Wave 
• New connected services 
– Medical QAWeb: Online calibration and QA of medical displays 
– Cinecare program to remotely monitor and support digital cinema equipment 
• Cloud based solutions 
– Based on private or public cloud services 
– X2O media solution offered as full cloud service 
Further Evolutions
Towards Single Collaboration Experience 
Integrating multiple solutions 
Further Evolutions 
• Once the AV and data is in the network, customers expect this to be accessible 
and controllable in a uniform manner 
– As an end-user to work most efficiently 
– As an IT manager to optimally manage the setup, accounts and security 
– As a service operator to improve operations 
• Many companies and organizations have similar needs 
– A hospital has surgery rooms, which are managed from a control room and which share data 
to meeting rooms for discussion and preparation and which want to interact with external 
doctors and students via mobile technology 
– A big or governamental organization has control rooms at multiple locations to manage 
operations and share data to meeting rooms for discussion and escalation handling and 
want to interact with external stakeholders via mobile technology
These Evolutions Further Impact 
• Business Model 
Further Evolutions 
– How do customers want to use and pay for these products? 
– There is an enormous flexibility in business models: try-before-buy, subscription models, 
license schemes and pay-per-use, 
• Roll-out and Service Model 
– Need to fully automate the entire chain to the user: activation, upgrades and updates 
– Internet connectivity is a key enabler to achieve this
