The Vision
Meeting rooms for 4 to 8 people are increasingly popular, often used for departmental meetings, executive meetings, or external video conferencing. In such scenarios, the pain points to be solved include:
Typically, there is only one HDMI cable in the conference room, and those who want to project to the screen need to change position in order to present.
Video conferencing requires a USB camera, but USB has a cable length limit, which makes it inconvenient to connect to the laptop.
Too many wires on the table are not aesthetically pleasing and degrade the image of the company.
The average conference camera cannot capture everyone in the conference room, and the picture quality is not good.
If the audio quality in the larger space is poor, it will impact on the meeting experience.
