EMS announces new Control360 app at IMSH

Education Management Solutions LLC(EMS) announced a new app to compliment their integrated SIMULATIONiQand MEDIASHAREiQ platforms: Control360. The appfacilitates secure, easy ad hoc recording and live streaming of simulation roomvideos using existing AV equipment. Control360 removes the dependency oncentral AV control systems. The app can manage multiple rooms including individualcamera pan, tilt and zoom control, all from an intuitive interface.

Enabling secure control and captureof simulation lab exercises, the app untethers instructors, IT staff andtechnicians from fixed AV control systems. The app provides flexibility to recordvideo-based events and securely share recorded or live events with remoteviewers and students.

HIPAA-ready and cyber secure,Control360 removes the constraints of fixed AV capture systems. With automatedintegration back into SIMULATIONiQ, and subsequently back to larger learningmanagement systems such as Blackboard, Canvas and D2L, the app provides aflexible and mobile solution for the management of existing AV hardware formedical education.

Anurag Singh, EMS president andCEO said: "The challenge with video capture, debriefing and online learninghas been the ability to rapidly capture and develop content. Many instituteshave a fixed AV hardware infrastructure. This requires operators to stay in thecontrol room to run equipment and instructors to learn complicated captureinterfaces. We wanted to leverage the power of mobile devices to remove the dependencyon a stationary control station. With Control360, tech operators have muchgreater flexibility to manage multiple rooms without being tethered to a fixed desktop.The simple interface frees instructors from having to learn a complicated AVsystem in order to record and debrief a session. Instructors can easily stream andshare what they capture, bringing their remote learners right into theclassroom."

EMS will provide demonstrations ofthe app at the International Meeting on Simulation in Healthcare (IMSH) in SanAntonio, Texas, from January 27-29 in booth #125.
