Dolby Voice Room Changes the Way You Experience Meetings
March 08 2018 - 8:30AM
Furthering its mission to create spectacular experiences, Dolby
Laboratories, Inc. (NYSE:DLB) today announced a new and innovative
video conferencing solution, Dolby Voice® Room, for huddle rooms
and small conference rooms. With the intelligence to flex to the
changing needs of the workforce, Dolby Voice Room will bring
affordable, simple, and amazing audiovisual experiences to the
workplace.
As the business world continues to evolve and moves toward
varied, sophisticated, and challenging collaboration scenarios and
environments, a lot of critical work is now happening in huddle
spaces. According to research from Frost & Sullivan, only two
percent out of the millions of huddle rooms globally are video
enabled. Providers are trying to keep up with this growing market
by quickly patching together new technologies creating increased
complexity and lower quality. Often, the result is a mediocre
experience that frustrates people, hampers productivity, and slows
adoption. To make matters worse, this can come at an unnecessarily
high cost to purchase and manage.
“As huddle-room collaboration grows exponentially, businesses
are demanding a solution that is simple to manage while
providing a compelling experience to end users,” said Roopam Jain,
Industry Director, Frost & Sullivan. “Dolby is well positioned
to capitalize on this opportunity through its expertise in
delivering spectacular audio-visual experiences across the cinema,
the home, on the go, and now on the job.”
“To make collaboration experiences better, we needed to make the
technology work harder for users,” said Andrew Border, Vice
President, Communications Business Group, Dolby Laboratories.
“Leveraging our expertise in the fields of human perception,
machine learning, engineering, and design, Dolby Voice Room was
built with the ability to flex to human needs in a way that is
simple to use by participants and IT while also delivering a
dramatically better experience.”
Dolby Voice Room is an easy to install, manage, and use solution
that intelligently flexes to various scenarios to provide an
amazing, natural, and productive meeting experience. It overcomes
key challenges faced by meeting participants and IT that hamper
productivity such as unintelligible audio, shadowy video,
distracting background noise, poorly framed views of participants,
and confusing interfaces on jumbled hardware kits.
The Dolby® Conference Phone is the centerpiece of the solution.
More than a phone, it’s the ideal audio and control center for
video conferencing. It combines amazing sound quality that
accommodates diverse meeting spaces with a sleek user interface to
start and manage meetings. Joining the Dolby Conference Phone is
the Dolby Voice Camera and Dolby Voice Hub. With these components
you have a complete solution that can be installed in as little as
15 minutes.
User and management benefits:
- Elegant and intuitive user experience that supports more use
cases with fewer devices and allows participants to join, engage,
and share content with fewer touches.
- Simplified setup and deployment through intelligent hardware
design, minimal components, and automated deployment tools that
save IT time.
- Remote device management enables IT to monitor, diagnose, and
troubleshoot device behavior more easily and efficiently.
Key audiovisual attributes:
- Dynamic leveling continuously maps room sound to distinguish
between speakers and noise, cancels out common room distractions
like HVAC or projector hum, and boosts the sound of quiet or
distant participants so that everyone is heard.
- HDR (high dynamic range) video mapping adjusts the image to
different lighting situations to provide a high-quality
representation of the room, overcoming muddled or washed-out
images.
- Intelligent scene framing adjusts the framing of the image to
give everyone the most relevant view of the meeting by
automatically and noiselessly zooming in or out and panning as
needed to provide the best view of the meeting.
- Whiteboard view provides exceptional clarity and visibility to
remote participants — even when the whiteboard is adjacent to the
camera — while ghosting out people as they move in front of the
board to aid in legibility.
By shifting the burden of seamless workplace collaboration
experiences from people to technology, Dolby Voice Room adapts to
diverse workspaces and work styles while providing advanced
features, typically only found in very expensive and complicated
systems, in a simple and affordable solution.
Dolby Voice Room is expected to be available later this spring
to BlueJeans and Highfive customers.
