Interactive. Integrated. Intelligent.

What if you could install a complete video conferencing system in one easy step? How much time and money would that save your client and your team? How many rooms could your installation team complete in an hour?

With the DTEN product you will be calculating deployments in the number of rooms completed per hour vs. the old school way of having to calculate the number of hours a room might require to install. The DTEN D7 is a 55” interactive touchscreen with a built-in 4K camera, a 16 element microphone array, speakers, and an optional integrated PC to run all of your Zoom Room meetings. One device to hang on the wall and you’re done.

Not all touch screens are created equal. The DTEN D7 utilizes capacitive touch technology on a 55” 4K resolution display for high accuracy and ultra-fast response time to provide the best possible user experience. A simple USB connection allows the presenter to annotate on the screen as well as control their PC with their finger or a stylus.

The DTEN AI software utilizes the microphone array and camera to track the active speaker and uses that data to give an optimal view of the person speaking. The 4K sensor means

that the digital windowing will still provide HD quality imagery to the meeting participants.

Add in the optional integrated PC, and you have a Zoom Room appliance that hangs on the wall ready to launch Zoom meetings with the touch of a finger.

If the on-board camera and microphone are not a perfect fit for the room, that’s not a problem. They can be removed and integrated with existing or alternate camera and microphone systems that may better fit the space.

When you think about all the things you need to build a Zoom Room, the DTEN D7 delivers on all counts. And don’t worry, you’ll find another use for all of the extra time your team has available!

When it comes to PC accessories, there is not a more familiar name than Logitech. The company is well known for inventing products that increase productivity, and the Logitech Meetup delivers on that same promise in your Zoom Rooms.

The Logitech Meetup is an all-in-one camera, microphone, and speaker system that is perfect for small meeting rooms and huddle spaces.

Real estate is expensive and space is at a premium. In smaller spaces, many times businesses are locatingmeeting tables against the wall on one end, meaningthat some participants can be very close to the camera. With the Logitech Meetup, this isn’t a problem. The three integrated beamforming microphones and customized speaker deliver quality audio in the room

and to the remote participants. For larger spaces, there is even an extension microphone kit available to cover larger areas or define better coverage patterns. A compact design, table and wall mounting options, and a single USB connection assure that the Logitech Meetup adds to the meeting without detracting from the meeting room itself.

If you want an amazing way to huddle up using Zoom, the Logitech Meetup is for you.

Exceptional Audio PerformanceFrom a Microphone Company

Not every room is one size fits all. Sometimes the acoustics of the room or the layout of the space can be challenging, and when those challenges arise, there is nothing better than hardware designed with a single purpose. Enter MXL, a microphone company with a recording studio heritage, bringing that experience into your Zoom Rooms.

MXL has two task built solutions to bring crystal clear audio to your Zoom calls.

The AC-404-Z is perfect for huddle rooms or smaller conference tables. It can be placed at the end of the table closest to the display, and its 180 degree coverage pattern will pick up voices up to 25 feet away.

The award winning AC-360-Z is a 360 degree microphone array that sits in the center of the table and picks up audio in a 25’ radius. Do you have a larger space? No problem! Multiple AC-360-Zs can be linked together to create more coverage as well.

If you are looking for professional grade microphones purpose built for your Zoom Rooms, the MXL AC-404-Z and AC-360-Z are for you.

The “Z” is for Zoom.

Take your Zoom meetings to another level with the Meeting Owl, an all-in-one collaboration powerhouse that includes a 360 degree camera, a beam forming microphone array, and on-board speakers packed intoa sleek, compact form factor.

ClickShare and Zoom

The One Button Meeting

There is nothing more frustrating than trying to connect your laptop to a meeting only to get a blank screen. Now imagine having to change presenters part way through and dealing with dongles and laptop settings all over again. Stop passing the cable around the table.

Barco’s ClickShare has become the defacto standard for sharing presentations and content wirelessly from a laptop, tablet, or mobile device to a screen. The intuitive ClickShare button simply plugs into the USB port of a laptop, and once connected, allows the user to click a single button to share, while tablets and mobile devices can use native AirPlay or ChromeCast or ClickShare’s app to connect as well.

However, ClickShare can also be leveraged to launch calls in your Zoom Room using the same intuitive interface.

Simply plug ClickShare’s video output into your Zoom Room’s small form factor PC to give users a one button start to their Zoom calls. What could be easier than that?

Click. Share. Zoom.
