Presentation Management: CCR Solutions launched our first version of Presentation Management back in July of 2004 where we put our solution to the test.
For the debut of the product we thought we would ease into this market by managing over 3,600 presentations at the International Conference for Immunology that was held at the Palais des Congrès in Montréal, QC, Canada.
Software and technology has developed rapidly over the past 6 years enabling CCR to continue developing a very robust, flexible and affordable web based presentation management solution....
Digital Sets: Digital sets are great for the environment and have limitless possibilities. Continuing to offer Green Event Solutions, CCR recently upgraded to WATCHOUT 4.2™ to take advantage of the many new features and event production benefits.
What does that mean to you? It means more stunning visuals created in less time with new and improved controls.
WATCHOUT now gives CCR external control via MIDI or DMX512 signals to trigger tasks within your show. Lighting cues will never be off again when using WATCHOUT's new control features....
