Tod Hardin of Prysm Systems Expresses Excitement
Hardin expresses his excitement to reunite with Prysm Systems and return to the audiovisual industry. He says, “I thoroughly enjoyed working with the team to introduce their high-quality, dynamic visual displays and collaboration platform. Over the last few years, the industry has dramatically shifted with a new emphasis on collaboration and connectivity. As we usher in a new era for the audiovisual industry, I’m energized to share Prysm Systems unique story as a product and a platform to fuel high-impact presentations for various collaboration environments.”
Prysm Systems says it will continues to provide the large-format display industry with the world’s largest single-panel displays, while providing low power consumption and scalability. As displays become larger, Prysm Systems has streamlined large-format video displays while providing a high-quality, impact-resistant surface. Prysm Systems allows presenters to step away from standard flat meetings and singular presentations by gathering various content platforms and applications into one display. Users can simultaneously share presentations, connect with outside team members through videoconferencing, watch a video or share other content. It creates a custom-designed experience that enables individuals to experience the complete picture as they dig into complex issues.
