LifeCell National Sales Meeting Case Study

Posted on: March 6th, 2013

LifeCell develops and markets tissue repair products for use in reconstructive, urogynecologic and orthopedic surgical procedures. Their mission is to transform surgery through continuous innovation by leveraging their scientific heritage and proprietary technologies. Each year LifeCell holds a National Sales Meeting (NSM). The NSM is an annual event that recognizes and awards the accomplishments of the sales team members who contributed to the success of LifeCell.

LifeCell wanted to transform the Grand Ballroom at the Phoenician in       Scottsdale, AZ into an exciting, energy-pumping environment that created   a visually stimulating setting to engage their attendees. To make the event a success, IMS Technology Services proposed using a Widescreen Projection Blending technology powered by a Vista Spyder X20 Video Processor for the (NSM).

Vista Spyder X20 Video Processor Specifications:

  • 16 inputs 8 outputs
  • Operator MultiViewer out (one monitor for op, unlike other units multiple monitors per destination not needed)
  • PC based operating/programming control (no expensive controller needed)
  • Matrix Routing built in (any input can go to any input)
  • Scan converting built in
  • 8 video inputs (any type of video input composite, component, SD SDI, HD SDI)
  • 8 PC inputs
  • Analog/digital input output capabilities
  • Blending/rotation built in
  • 16 windows available, 8 switchable windows
  • On board diagnostics thru easy to use PC interface
  • Supports projectors, plasma screens, LED walls, rear projection
  • Redundant Hot swap power supplies
  • Real time PIP positioning, seamless transitioning, window borders, drop shadows and a variety of keying effects

Initially, the LifeCell decision makers were uncomfortable with making the switch from their traditional two screen meeting to a widescreen meeting.  After attending an IMS live demonstration of our Widescreen Projection Blending capabilities, the decision makers were able to see first-hand the power to engage an audience with this technology and they were sold.

This past January, IMS successfully used widescreen blending and the Vista Spyder X20 Video Processor during the (NSM) and the response from the crowd was extremely enthusiastic. The results exceeded the client’s expectations from concept to completion. IMS Technology Services was able to provide the “WOW” factor that LifeCell wanted to deliver to its audience.
