Very small and cluttered

Confusion because of similar devices

Lack of Aesthetics in the shape and colour of the

devices almost all black,silver,white and square

to the room

3. Pre checks of all

the devices,

terminals and the

system by the

technicians

4. Performs run

through of the

entire process

before the actual

program

2. Coordinate withother controller

Affinity Statements

Unaware users (Users dont use the mics properly)

Lot of dependency on technician

Mike & Speaker frequency collide

Light & Mike frequency collide

Real time file transfer difficult

Low Battery of mic issue

Signal range problem

Training required

Different room different configuration of the device


13/21

Solutions in the current interface

Contact List of the technicians,fellow controllers and

coordinators in the device itself.

Chat facility in the device so as to coordinate with

the controller at the other end.

Incorporating the file transfers in the device itself.

Help facility for some regular problems.

Individual mic status and control for the same.

Different Room One universal device.


14/21

Mic Interface

Low Battery indicator.

Proper on-off switch on Mic.

Easy troubleshooting for the users. The users shouldknow whats going wrong.
