Biamp Systems has launched ITS Devio collaboration system which has been created specifically for huddle rooms.
The Devio system comes with an easy to connect device (Devio CR-1) and advanced beamforming microphone (Devio DTM-1) to provide meetings with laptop-based audio and video conferencing.
Devio is compatible with both Windows and Mac OS X based computers. The CR-1 back panel includes two HDMI outputs to support in-room displays, a USB 2.0 port for USB Web camera connectivity and a four-pin headset jack for phone bridging.
Audio output options include an integrated 20W powered two-pin connector for rooms using passive speaker options or an RCA-out for amplifier connection. Devio includes Auto Setup, which automates the setting of audio input and output levels.
Multiple CR-1 units in an installation can be managed centrally using the Devio software administration utility (SAU) or via SNMP, and firmware and configurations can be mass deployed.
Rob Houston, product manager, unified communications (UC) products, Biamp Systems, said: “As our work spaces continue to migrate toward open office floor plans, employees need spaces where they can gather and brainstorm without disturbing co-workers.â€
