How Our Meeting Room Technology Can Help
Array Microphones: Clearer Communication, Less Repetition
One of the most significant challenges in meetings is poor audio quality. Studies show that poor audio severely hinders understanding, causing participants to miss important details. Our Meeting Room Technology, featuring array microphones, can pick up voices from anywhere in the room with crystal clarity, allowing everyone to hear and contribute equally. No more asking participants to repeat themselves or missing key points—clear audio ensures the conversation flows smoothly.
PTZ Cameras: Make Remote Participants Feel Present
In hybrid meetings, remote attendees often feel disconnected. PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) cameras offer dynamic video tracking that keeps remote attendees engaged by following the speaker in the room. As hybrid meetings have grown in popularity—rising from 48% to 77% between 2020 and 2022(
