SMART Technologies uses ISE 2014 to make a first showing of the SMART Room System for Microsoft Lync-- a Microsoft co-development providing a turnkey meeting room collaboration solution.
The system combines one or more interactive displays, wide-angle camera, customised speakers and microphones, and a room control console complete with 11.6-inch display. Each component is SMART-made, allowing for seamless integration and what the company describes as a "consistently rich meeting experience."
The displays (sizes range from 55- to 84-inch) carry a custom-designed codec enabling native Lync connectivity, with no additional hardware or software requirements. The camera features a 109-degree field of view, while one can daisy-chain up to 4 microphones to fit a wide range of meeting room configurations.
