Tweet Now: Logitech announces new video
conference solution, Logitech GROUP, for mid to large size
conference rooms http://blog.logitech.com/?p=24461
“Until now, people looking to collaborate over video were faced
with a choice between installing high priced purpose-built systems
or crowding around a laptop that’s placed at the end of a table.
This resulted in a poor experience with coworkers packed together
like sardines or falling out of the frame,” said Scott Wharton,
general manager of the Logitech video collaboration group.
“Logitech GROUP provides the best of both worlds, an affordable
solution optimized for large rooms with a wide field of view and
crystal clear audio quality. Plus, it works with virtually any UC
or video collaboration software and is so easy to use that you
don’t need IT support to help get your meeting started.”
“Traditional video conferencing systems are no longer the only
option for enterprises. We see an expanding variety of
category-defying solutions using audio video peripherals in the
meeting room to connect to a PC or mobile device,” said Andrew W.
Davis, senior partner at Wainhouse Research. "This fast-growing
class of easy-to-use and low-cost solutions is creating a new
market that traditional solutions could never reach. With its
ConferenceCam portfolio, Logitech has a strong leadership position
in this emerging market."
Logitech GROUP, the successor to Logitech’s popular
ConferenceCam CC3000e, has a full-duplex, sleek speakerphone
delivering sound that is crisp, clear, and can be heard by everyone
in the meeting. Its metal case helps improve acoustic performance,
and by isolating the microphone and speaker it provides premium
audio quality. The combination of four omnidirectional microphones,
acoustic echo and noise-cancelling technology delivers
conversational realism. Conference participants can converse within
a 20-foot diameter around the base, or extend the range to 28-feet
with optional expansion microphones. It can also be used with a
Bluetooth® enabled mobile devices for audio calls.
The 1080p video quality brings full HD video to conference
calls, enabling meeting participants to clearly read expressions,
non-verbal cues and movements. A wide 90-degree field of view and
smooth pan and tilt controls enhance collaboration by making it
easy to see everyone in the room. On-board H.264 with scalable
video coding frees up bandwidth by putting video processing within
the camera, resulting in a smoother video stream. And the 10x
lossless HD zoom allows participants to zero in on close-ups of
objects and whiteboard content with outstanding detail and
clarity.
GROUP helps businesses facilitate collaboration between
distributed workforces with certified software applications
(Optimized for Microsoft® Lync® 2013, Certified for Skype for
Business, Cisco Jabber® and WebEx® compatible) and enhanced
integration with Logitech Collaboration Program members, ensuring a
seamless experience with virtually all video conferencing
platforms. GROUP works with any computing device with a USB
connection (PC, MAC® or Chromebook™).
Logitech GROUP can be seen in public for the first time at ISE
2016, February 9-12, in booth #9-B125.
