Multichoice Namibia

Multichoice is a satellite television service provider. Its Namibia headquarters in Windhoek has a main boardroom that seats 14 delegates.

APIX Digital Solutions brought us in to help with a boardroom solution for their client.

Multichoice wanted a boardroom with effortless video conferencing. Content sharing and camera quality had been the main problems in the past. That meant new displays, conferencing equipment that people can rely on, and an easier way to share content from a laptop.

APIX Digital Solutions designed and installed the system with our team in Windhoek. Two Samsung QB75B 75 inch UHD professional displays give the whole room a clear view. An Atlona 4K/UHD HDMI matrix switcher handles source switching and screen sharing.

A Polycom X70 video conferencing unit, mounted beneath the displays, combines a camera bar with built-in audio, and comes with on-desk touch panels and a speaker hub.

The 14-delegate boardroom is set up for online meetings, and the earlier problems with content sharing and camera quality are resolved. Rowan Kleintjes, Managing Director of APIX Digital Solutions, called SAW Namibia "a very professional outfit" that consulted from the start and monitored each step of the installation.
