Conference Room AV Is Making Its Way into Small Huddle Rooms and Large Corporate Campuses

What was once considered a temporary solution to an unprecedented disruption has turned into a growing trend: the remote workforce. In fact, it is now considered the new normal, and businesses are quickly adjusting to create an environment that increases collaboration and effective communication, whether workers are in the office, at home, or abroad. 

Similarly, schools have adjusted, with more students opting for online courses and remote education. It’s a new world requiring the right setup for conference room AV and classroom connections.

Let’s explore what this means to businesses across the nation and the key audio-visual components that set the newest workforce and students up for success in San Jose, CA.

The Space

The advent of the hybrid workforce took some businesses and educational institutions by surprise. Fortunately, audio-video manufacturers were quick to respond, coming up with scalable solutions that were easily implemented. This included conferencing products and automation systems designed for small huddle spaces, large corporate boardrooms, classrooms, and everything in between. 

These conferencing solutions can fit a small huddle space, a corporation or building with multiple meeting rooms, or a corporate campus that incorporates an entire auditorium. Automation also enables you to control the technology effortlessly. Tap a button on a keypad, and the audio and video turn on, the shades raise or lower, and the lights dim or brighten based on the time of day. These systems also offer quick file and screen sharing and simple conference calling.

Exceptional Audio and Video Quality

The right AV equipment makes the difference between a productive meeting and successful communication or frustration and wasted time. Video conference calls no longer need to feel like a struggle with broken-up audio and video. Today, technology offers 4K high-definition video, and conference room cameras provide 360-degree views, capturing everyone present. Many also come with active speaker tracking, providing impressive images and making participants feel like they’re in the same room. 

Our certified technicians will also install in-ceiling or table-mounted speakers and microphones. Ceiling microphone arrays deliver crystal-clear audio and are designed to reduce ambient noise and optimize the speaker’s voice. Some also work jointly with video, directing the camera toward the active participant. 

An Integrated Solution

Space is in high demand. For this reason, our certified technicians commonly create multi-use rooms that double as conference rooms, boardrooms, and a space for team meetings. These rooms are often best suited for hidden technology, with displays or screens and projectors that lower from the ceiling when the video conference begins. When it’s complete, you press the “Finished” button, and they return to the ceiling while the lights brighten and the shades rise.
