VC solutions in the market today are at the extremes of the customisation and cost matrix. Shure talks about how the addition of its Stem Ecosystem strikes the perfect balance to provide a straightforward, effortless audio solution for all types of rooms and budgets.
There is no doubt that videoconferencing has become an essential component of how we work today. VC is part of everyone’s work routine, and it is the platform we use to communicate and collaborate. But even though VC is becoming ubiquitous, market research shows that the ‘VC experience’ is far from perfect.
The problem seems to lie in the VC solutions and options available on the market, which have not been designed with modern VC usage in mind. To simplify the conundrum, current VC options lie on the extremes of the spectrum and offer a trade-off between cost and customisation.
To elaborate, a quick and ‘easy’ answer to VC requirements is to get an off-the-shelf solution which can be deployed almost instantaneously. But this all-in-one solution offers no options for management, customisation and most importantly scalability if VC demands increase.
On the other hand, you can have technology professionals design and deploy a tailor-made system that meets your requirements and fits your spaces and can be remotely managed and monitored. But such a solution takes time to get online and requires significant investment.
As always, the user wants the best of all worlds. They want a bespoke solution that is ready quickly and they want it at an attractive price point. The critical nature of VC in today’s business climate means that they might not have the luxury to wait.
Fortunately, Shure has the perfect answer in the shape of the Stem Ecosystem which has been conceived and designed based on extensive feedback from end-users, AV integrators, and IT managers.
The Stem Ecosystem strikes a balance between all of the modern user’s considerations and proves the point that better audio doesn’t have to be complicated.
The Stem Ecosystem journey begins with RoomDesign, a tool that allows you to create your own customised meeting room setup with the dimensions of the space, the furniture being used and the Stem Ecosystem devices that you require in place. Within five minutes, you can have a functional design for your meeting space before making any purchase. Once a design has been decided, the Stem Ecosystem can be installed within a day. Deployment has been centred around the network, with products requiring just a single Ethernet cable to become operational. Not only does this simplify installation, but it also reduces cable clutter.
The often tedious and time consuming process of ‘tuning’ a room has been simplified with RoomAdapt which allows each device to listen to the specific acoustic signature of a room and then adjust device settings to create an audio solution tailored for the space.
Once the Stem Ecosystem is up and running, RoomCheck takes five minutes to analyse the audio in the space and generates a heat map highlighting the expected audio quality for different areas in the room allowing you to tweak your experience.
To top it off, whether the Stem Ecosystem is deployed in a single conference room or thousands of meeting spaces, the platform provides insights and data-rich statistics about room usage, performance, room status, and more so you can see how your meeting rooms are being used to manage your resources more effectively.
If you need modern VC capabilities to answer disruption and stay ahead of the curve, then the Shure Stem Ecosystem is exactly what you are looking for.
