About CommBox |

Imagine the freedom and confidence in knowing that any teacher can walk in to any classroom and operate the equipment first time and every time. This is the world of the CommBox control panels. The CommBox range represents the worlds most powerful and colourful control panels, designed with an emphasis on being simple to use, customise, program and install.

So why install a control system?

1) Save time:

The CommBox Joey control systems save time. The Joey systems provide one touch control of all AV and room equipment in the classroom (projector, IWB etc). This means that anyone can walk in the room and use the equipment first time, every time, with absolutely no training or instruction sheets.

2) Save money:

The CommBox Joey control systems are smart. They know when a room is empty. If a room is empty, the Joey systems will initiate an automatic shutdown. This has the benefit of saving expensive items such as projector lamps. The Joey systems provide a 'Return on Investment'. You only need to save one projector lamp and the system has paid for itself.

3) Save time & money:

The CommBox Joey control systems are wall mount systems. This means that teachers and users no longer waste time looking for or paying for lost remote controls.

The Joey systems are customisable and are reprogrammed whenever new equipment is introduced. This means that there is a common user interface throughout your school no matter what different models and brands of equipment are installed. Note that the Joey systems are designed to last 15 years plus so will outlast model changes of equipment.

For the first time ever, CommBox is able to provide control equipment at accessory style pricing, meaning that if you have a strategy of installing technology into your classrooms (such as projectors and/or Interactive whiteboards), you should have a strategy of installing control. Installing CommBox Joey control systems ensure that the AV equipment and technology is actually used as well as providing a return on investment.
