Logitech ConferenceCam Kit with Intel NUC is an Affordable, Simple and Complete Solution for Conference Rooms
Today Logitech (SIX:LOGN) (NASDAQ:LOGI) announced the Logitech® ConferenceCam
Kit with Intel® NUC video conferencing system. Configured and
validated by Logitech and Intel for performance, simplicity and
compatibility, the ConferenceCam Kit includes a Logitech ConferenceCam,
Intel® NUC and Intel® Unite™ application. The ConferenceCam Kit is
compatible with virtually all PC-based cloud services, and does not
require users to bring their own computer to start a video call. This
enterprise-quality bundle mitigates the complexity and cost for
businesses to scale up from a laptop-based experience, or scale beyond a
boardroom telepresence system to a flexible and affordable solution for
any meeting room.

“We have found that a significant number of Logitech ConferenceCams are
attached to dedicated computers in meeting rooms, but purchasing,
configuring and deploying a dedicated video conference system in meeting
spaces can be expensive, and it’s hard for our customers to know what is
compatible,” said Scott Wharton, general manager of the Logitech video
collaboration group. “Logitech and Intel have taken the guesswork out of
the equation. We researched, developed and tested the Logitech
ConferenceCam Kit so it’s easy to set up, easy to use and delivers the
most affordable enterprise-quality video conferencing experience
available today.”
“We are delighted to be working with Logitech to help solve the
challenges that businesses face when they install video conferencing
systems in meeting spaces,” said Tom Garrison, vice president and
general manager of the Intel Business Client Division. “Fully
integrating the Intel NUC and Intel Unite application into the Logitech
ConferenceCam Kit provides customers with an end-to-end system that is
flexible, powerful and reliable, yet simple to deploy, manage and use in
any meeting space.”
The Logitech ConferenceCam Kit works natively with virtually any video
conferencing software or service and provides everything needed to
deploy video in a meeting room equipped with a display and an Internet
connection. Because it works with virtually all PC-based video and web
conferencing platforms, the solution can adapt to the changing needs of
both IT and users over time. It is not a single-purpose solution locked
into an infrastructure investment or service provider choice. Instead,
with ConferenceCam Kit, you extend the flexibility and low switching
costs associated with cloud services all the way into the conference
room.
The ConferenceCam Kit is optimized for use with Logitech
Collaboration Program members such as BlueJeans and Zoom, ensuring a
superior meeting experience when using these video applications.
Each ConferenceCam Kit includes a market-leading Logitech
ConferenceCam for best-in-class video conferencing with HD 1080p
video and professional audio, enabling everyone in the meeting room to
clearly see expressions, nonverbal cues and movements.
The small form factor Intel
NUC provides an ideal combination of performance and reliability to
run HD video conferencing with support for multiple HD and 4K UHD
displays. Paired with the Intel
Unite application, the solution enables wireless content sharing on
a PC or Mac® and delivers a clean and elegant meeting room configuration.
Also included is Iluminari Quicklaunch™ SE, a fully configurable and
simple user interface that brings appliance-like ease of use to the
meeting room with the flexibility and familiarity of collaboration
applications. Quicklaunch™ SE helps ensure a consistent experience
across the full enterprise, minimizing the need for user training and IT
support.
Microsoft Windows® 10 Pro provides a familiar user experience and helps
IT departments manage devices, apps, and identities in a way that scales
up or down with business needs. It also offers enterprise-grade security
features to help protect critical information.
The Logitech® Wireless Touch Keyboard K400 Plus has a wireless range of
up to 33 feet and an integrated touchpad that makes it easy to initiate
a video conference from across the room.
The Logitech ConferenceCam Kit can be seen in public for the first time
at Enterprise
Connect, March 7-9, in booth #629.
Pricing and Availability
The Logitech ConferenceCam Kit is expected to be available in the U.S.
in April at an estimated starting price of $1599. For more information,
