|

Today, a variety of technologies and design methodologies can improve the meeting experience for both in-room and remote participants. LightWerks partnered with the largest utility company in Oregon to update the technology in their boardroom. The refresh involved the design and integration of state-of-art technologies that support meeting equity, ensuring that all participants in the room are framed so that they are seen and heard, regardless of where they are seated in the space. The project included solutions from QSC, Sony, Logitech, Sennheiser and Visionary Solutions.

Create Equitable Hybrid Meetings with Logitech and Google Meet, Zoom, or Microsoft Teams
|
|
Logitech has a range of solutions for the meeting room and personal workspace that are certified to work with Google Meet and other platforms. This “better together” approach allows IT managers to standardize on a single-vendor video collaboration solution for desktops and meeting rooms of all sizes. It gives employees a more productive and consistent video experience, regardless of location, device, language, or experience level. Built into Logitech cameras and audio solutions are proactive AI technologies that help hybrid video meetings feel natural for everyone. Logitech's RightSight moves the camera automatically, adjusting the zoom so that no one is left out of the picture.

Conferencing technology is evolving rapidly. The return to the office has illuminated the fact that many video conferencing rooms are in need of a refresh to support hybrid meetings. Ensuring that all participants are seen and heard in an equitable manner, whether they are joining from an individual device or in a meeting space, is becoming more and more important.

Global Supply Chain Issues Continue
|
|
Problems with the global supply chain show very few signs of easing up.
So HOW can you possibly plan? Right now, we're telling customers the following:
- If you need complete room systems - those including control systems, AV over IP solutions, etc. - lead times are currently 9 to 12 months, so it's time to start planning your summer 2023 projects!
- If you need systems that involve ceiling microphones, lead times are currently about six months, so it's time to plan any work you hope to have done in early 2023.
- If you only need simpler, sound-bar-type systems, you can expect to have that work done in Q4 of this year.
LightWerks continues to employ a number of strategies to provide the best possible availability in the industry to our customers, but please keep in close touch with your LightWerks representative to plan work as early as possible. In the meantime, thanks very much for your patience!
