The Importance of Soundbars for Interactive Displays and Devices

The Importance of Soundbars for Interactive Displays and Devices

2023-02-20

Introduction


IQSoundbar is a speaker with stereo effects, usually placed above or below the screen, based on acoustic considerations, this type of speaker is mostly long strip design. As remote work and video conferencing have become increasingly prevalent, the importance of high-quality audio has become more apparent. Soundbars offer a superior audio experience compared to the built-in speakers on laptops and desktop monitors, producing clearer, more natural sound and reducing background noise.


Do I really need a sound bar?


If ten years ago, we bought entry-level monitors, such as TVs and LCDs. We only need to consider the pixels of the screen and worry about whether the screen display is clear. Nowadays, we can buy a very good 4k smart TV at a reasonable price. Many schools have also installed smart LCD blackboards. And there is also a trend that people are willing to set smart devices thinner and thinner to meet the needs of carrying. For example, by integrating a built-in camera and 6 microphone arrays, IQTouch TB900Pro is easy to set up a video conferencing environment immediately. Experience a high-quality video conference supported by a high-definition image with 12 million pixels and the ability of long-distance sound pickup. But when the interactive display is made smarter, the volume and the space inside are smaller. The small space of the equipment can limit the quality of the speakers because there is not enough space to place the speakers. So the picture of the smart display is very high-definition, but the sound quality is not good. Because the built-in speakers are limited by space.


Do you know the importance of theater system sounds?


If you don't pay much attention to sound quality, it's normal. Most of us overlook the importance of sound quality. Whether it is in a theater, in a meeting room, or even in a classroom, sound quality plays an important role. We ignored the importance of sound quality in theater systems and the results are horrible sounding audio systems. If your device's sound system fails to provide clear sound, improve your experience. Such as, in a conference scene, you cannot hear the speaker's voice. In the classroom, you cannot hear the teacher's voice. Regardless of the brand of your smart device or the size of your monitor, the sound quality from its speakers just isn't good enough. As long as you amplify the sound, the sound will lose its essence and be unclear. You may even hear a screeching or buzzing sound. The sound quality experience is not good enough. So how to change this situation? It is not too difficult to improve the sound quality experience. The good news is that most of us can do it.


Can a soundbar fix the quality of my device?


Soundbars sound better than speakers. Take a TV as an example. The stereo speakers of a TV are not enough to make a theater system. Stereo speakers cannot take care of further distances. Even amplifying the sound would deprive the sound of its essence. And the speakers in the market only have a power of 20w. The minimum output power of the sound bar is 60w. So the soundbar can improve the sound quality of the theater system very well. The power of IQSound SA200 is 80w. It really is a must-have accessory for today’s meeting room and classroom. It is the best soundbar for you building the theater system or just looking for a more reliable and great-sounding audio source to accompany the interactive flat panel. Nomex composite vibrating diaphragm mid-bass unit Due to its lightweight, the transient response is rapid without loss of detail. IQSound SA200 is also equipped with a remote control to provide you with convenient help during use. Diverse sound effect modes Choose devices with a hassle-free connection, different LED colors represent different modes. IQSound SA200 can produce fuller sounds and clearer dialogue than speakers. Soundbar will have deeper bass and better sound clarity to the point of achieving “surround sound”

Brilliant ways a soundbar can boost the quality of your life

Soundbars can be used in many unexpected places, enriching your daily life. You can connect the soundbar to your TV via Bluetooth to play audio, or you can connect it to your phone or tablet, which can bring you more activities.

1. You can watch 3D movies while watching movies at home

2. More clarity through the soundbar when holding meetings at home

3. The sound quality is more beautiful when playing music, which makes you more invested.

How do I choose a soundbar that's based on my needs?

A soundbar is typically classified according to channels like 2.0, 2.1, 3.1, and 4.1.

2.0 refers to 2 speakers and no subwoofer. A 7.1 system has 7 speakers and 1 sub-woofer.

There are 2 types of surround sound, Dolby Audio, and Dolby Atmos. IQSoundbar comes with Bluetooth for wireless connection to your mobile devices.

The higher the power output (e.g. 300W) of the soundbar, the better the sound quality in general. Choose a sound bar based on your needs. It can improve your experience when using electronic devices. Let you be more involved in watching movies, playing games, conducting meetings, and studying.


Summary


Smart technology is advancing, and the functions of the display are also constantly improving. But the built-in speakers fall short of what a soundbar will give you. A sound bar can amplify sound while maintaining clarity. It can meet daily meetings, whether it is a large or medium-sized conference room, the speaker's voice can be heard. In the campus environment, the daily class noise is loud, and the students in the back row may not be able to accurately receive the teacher's signal. Losing essence while amplifying sound cannot be avoided in home theater. IQSound SA200 can solve the above problems. Bring you the most authentic and clear sound. And one of the advantages of the sound bar is that it is easy to carry and flexible to use. The location can be moved according to user needs.

How to Identify the Best LCD/LED Display for You

How to Identify the Best LCD/LED Display for You

2023-02-09

Introduction

The LCD screens include LCD (Liquid Crystal DIS) displays and LED (Light Emitting Diode) displays, which generate points, lines, and surfaces in a way that current stimulates liquid crystal molecules to form a picture with the back light tube. Compared with the traditional cathode ray tube (CRT), it has a larger volume, a soft picture, no flickering on the picture, and reduces eye fatigue. An LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) is a flat-panel display that uses liquid crystals for its primary operating form. Liquid crystal screens use liquid crystal material as the basic component. Because liquid crystal is between solid and liquid, it not only has the optical characteristics of solid crystals, but also has the characteristics of liquid flow, so it can be said to be an intermediate phase. What is an Interactive Flat Panel Display? An interactive flat panel display (IFPD) is a large format touch screen display. Integrating interactive whiteboard, screen sharing, and touchscreen monitoring, it is ideal for collaborative meetings or interactive teaching environments. At IQBoard, we call it "IQTouch".

How does the liquid crystal realize the function

The liquid crystal screen is based on the liquid crystal material as the basic component, and the liquid crystal material is filled between two parallel plates, and the arrangement of the molecules inside the liquid crystal material is changed by voltage, so as to achieve the purpose of shading and light transmission to display different shades and random arrangement. Subtle imagery. Adding a three-color filter layer between two flat plates can display color images.

What are the advantages of LCD

Liquid crystals usually require the use of low-impedance metal materials, high-performance switching elements, and high-precision processing techniques, so liquid crystals can achieve large-area high-resolution displays. LCD screens are very low in voltage and power consumption, and engineers are very fond of them. The appearance of the liquid crystal is small and exquisite, and the thickness is only 6.5-8mm. The passive display type of liquid crystal has no glare, does not irritate human eyes, and does not cause eye fatigue to a large extent. The LCD screen can make the pixels smaller and maximize the amount of displayed information. The most important point is that the LCD screen has no electromagnetic radiation, which is very safe for the human body. Another point of LCD is that it has a very long service life, because there is almost no deterioration of the LCD, except that the life of the LCD backlight is limited, but the backlight part can be replaced, so the service life of the LCD is very long, and the LCD is applicable to all electronic devices.

Why choose IQ LCD

The decisive factor of the performance of the LCD screen is its panel, because the quality of the panel directly affects the viewing effect of the picture. So to choose a good LCD screen, you must first choose its panel. The LCD panel can determine the brightness, contrast, color, viewing angle and other very important parameters of the LCD screen to a large extent. As a provider of interactive display solutions, we offer IQTouch interactive LED displays and IQBoard interactive whiteboards designed to facilitate personalized learning and collaborative meetings. IQ interactive flat panels deliver 4K UHD resolution for a sharper on-screen display than most projectors. In addition, the 178° wide viewing angle supported by IFP makes it possible for more viewers to see the screen.

In addition, the IQ interactive tablet optimizes the writing function of up to 40 points of touch, and has more gesture zooming and dragging functions than traditional whiteboards. IQTouch interactive tablets have many built-in software integrations such as AI whiteboard, EShare Pro for wireless screen sharing, IQ KitsMemos interactive teaching software or JoinMemos collaborative meeting software, which are pre-installed on all displays. With IQ, you can use LCD products more conveniently and make your life more colorful.




Five suggestions for better use of LCD

1. Adjust the contrast to not lose the details of the picture. The contrast of the liquid crystal affects the light and dark contrast of the character scene, that is, the texture change of the viewing picture. Adjusting the contrast to an appropriate size can improve the viewing experience.

2. Adjust the brightness at any time and make good use of various brightening functions. The brighter the brightness of the liquid crystal, the easier it is for the viewer to find it at a glance. However, the ultra-bright picture is usually traded at the expense of image quality and the life of the display, so in daily use, do not adjust the brightness too high.

3. Don't point and point to avoid scratching the screen with hard objects. The LCD screen is the same as the mobile computer screen. During use, do not put hard objects on it to scratch it,  so as not to leave scratches and affect the viewing effect.

4. The time interval between switching on and off the screen should be more than five minutes. Do not switch on and off frequently, so as to avoid the impact of current from affecting the service life of the LCD.

5. If the power switch of the display screen often trips, you should check the screen body or replace the power switch in time, and check the firmness of the connection regularly, and adjust it in time if it is loose.

Summary

An interactive display is an embedded device that people can interact with using a digital touch screen to give a lively visual presentation and enable the audience to have a good discussion and interaction. And it is an all-in-one machine that integrates collaboration and meeting management functions. Users can connect the interactive flat panel display through their own devices, or use the multi-touch function on the interactive touch screen. When choosing an LCD screen, you need to consider important parameters such as the resolution, contrast, brightness, and presence or absence of dead pixels of the LCD screen. Today, smart tablets not only allow teachers and presenters to share information more clearly like touchscreen TVs, but their touchscreen functionality also provides an engaging experience for viewers. People still use traditional keyboards and stylus to enter options. However, the advanced interactive screen has multi-touch and can recognize up to 20 touch points at the same time, bringing more possibilities and convenience. So individuals can easily and instantly share ideas on a smart digital display panel. Bring everyone's ideas to life by seamlessly sharing ideas through easy collaboration on IQTouch. Choosing IQ products can be customized to meet your various needs, so please contact us if you are interested.

Class Transforming with the Help of Social Emotional Learning

Class Transforming with the Help of Social Emotional Learning

2023-02-03

SEL stands for social-emotional learning (SEL), an educational approach that focuses on helping students learn and develop skills related to their social and emotional well-being. It teaches students how to recognize and manage emotions, set positive goals, empathize with others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions.


Strategies for SEL:

Social and emotional learning (SEL) has been gaining traction recently as an essential element in the education process. It is a process that helps students develop the skills to manage their emotions better, build relationships, and make responsible decisions, all essential life skills. As such, SEL is becoming increasingly important in the classroom. In 2023, classrooms will be even more focused on social-emotional learning.


IQBoard interactive display solution is based on smart boards in both education and business, including  IQTouch Interactive Touch Screen Solution, IQBoard Interactive Whiteboard Solution, IQMeet Conference Camera Solution, IQShare Wireless Presentation System Solution, and Smart Accessories. With the interactive display system, teachers can easily display information from smart devices or computers in class. Students can use it for interactive presentations in the classroom or at home.


One of the most significant changes that can be made in classrooms in 2023 to support SEL is creating a more inclusive environment. This means building a respectful and safe environment where all students are accepted and respected, regardless of their differences. In addition, classrooms should be designed to foster collaboration, respect, and understanding among students. This can be achieved through interactive activities, such as group projects and discussions, and by creating an atmosphere where students feel comfortable expressing their opinions and ideas. 


In addition to creating an inclusive environment, teachers should also be trained to recognize and respond to students’ social and emotional needs. They should be equipped with the necessary tools to provide support, such as providing positive reinforcement, having conversations about feelings, and offering problem-solving strategies. Additionally, teachers should be aware of the signs of distress that a student may exhibit, such as changes in behaviour or attitude, and be prepared to intervene or refer the student to the appropriate support services. 


In 2023, technology will also play a role in supporting social-emotional learning in the classroom. A variety of apps and programs available can help promote SEL by providing students with activities and resources to help them develop their social and emotional skills. For example, some programs allow students to practice their decision-making skills by taking part in simulated scenarios, as well as programs that provide students with guidance on how to cope with difficult emotions. 


Finally, creating a classroom environment that encourages collaboration and communication will be essential in 2023. This means creating an atmosphere where students feel comfortable working together, asking questions, and offering support to each other. This can be achieved using team-building activities, such as group projects and discussions. Additionally, teachers should ensure that students can express their opinions and ideas respectfully. 


WHY IS SEL SO IMPORTANT NOW?

Social Emotional Learning  (SEL) has become increasingly important now because it helps prepare young people for success in school, work and life. SEL helps children and adults better understand and manage their emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions. As our world becomes more globally connected and technology-driven, the need for social and emotional skills is growing. SEL is essential for developing the resilience, empathy, and problem-solving skills necessary for success in the 21st century.


SEL also plays a vital role in creating safe, supportive school environments and helping to reduce bullying, violence, and other negative behaviours. It is also essential for addressing the mental health needs of students. Schools that invest in SEL create a positive learning environment where students feel safe, respected, and connected to their peers, teachers, and school community.


SEL can also help improve academic outcomes by assisting students in building essential life skills like self-management, organization, self-advocacy, and communication. These skills can help students stay engaged in school and make better decisions that lead to positive academic outcomes. Additionally, SEL can help reduce the achievement gap by providing students from all backgrounds with the necessary skills to succeed in the classroom and beyond.


BRINGING SEL INTO YOUR CLASSROOM:

1. Incorporate self-reflection activities. Self-reflection activities can help students become more aware of their emotions, thoughts, and behaviours. Examples of self-reflection activities include journaling, writing letters to themselves, or interviewing themselves.


2. Teach students about the importance of emotions. Teach students that feelings are normal and natural and can help them understand their behaviour. Teach them skills to identify and express their feelings in constructive ways.


3. Model positive self-talk. Model positive self-talk for your students by speaking positively about yourself and others. Encourage your students to do the same.


4. Incorporate mindfulness activities. Mindfulness activities such as deep breathing, guided imagery, and yoga can help students become more aware of their emotions and manage them more effectively.


5. Create a supportive environment. Create a supportive classroom environment that encourages students to express their feelings.


6. Encourage students to take care of themselves. Please encourage students to take care of themselves through healthy habits such as exercise, healthy eating, getting enough sleep, and taking breaks.


7. Provide opportunities for self-expression. Give students opportunities to express themselves through art, music, or other creative outlets.


8. Promote positive relationships. Please encourage students to form positive relationships with their peers and adults. Model positive behaviour and offer support for students who are struggling.


Conclusion: 

SEL is an essential tool for helping students be successful in school, work, and life. In 2023, classrooms will focus more on social-emotional learning and creating an inclusive environment. Teachers should create a supportive environment, provide opportunities for self-expression, and promote positive relationships. Technology can also be used to help support SEL. By incorporating these strategies, classrooms in 2022 will be better prepared to help students develop the social and emotional skills they need to succeed.


The IQBoard interactive diaplay solution also supports social-emotional learning through its ability to show students how their behavior affects others. This helps them understand how their actions impact others, which in turn encourages them to make responsible decisions about how they treat others at school and at home.
