“As companies move to open floor plans, huddle spaces are becoming
increasingly popular in workplaces today. But until now, the devices in
these meeting spaces have been scaled-down versions of large room
systems, offering a subpar video experience,” said Scott Wharton, vice
president and general manager of Logitech Video Collaboration. “Logitech
MeetUp is purpose-built for the huddle room and its unique video and
audio requirements, making sure everyone at the table is clearly seen and
heard. It provides a truly remarkable collaboration experience.”
“In our recent State of the State report on Enterprise Video
Conferencing, we estimate that there are 30-50 million huddle rooms
globally, and that affordability, self service, and ease-of-use will be
key factors for video adoption in these rooms,” said Andrew W. Davis,
senior analyst and partner at Wainhouse Research. “Logitech MeetUp meets
all the criteria for success in these meeting spaces. It’s a sleek,
simple, and affordable solution that has been designed from the ground
up for small conference rooms. Logitech’s prowess in audio-video for
real-time communications combined with the all-in-one design of MeetUp
makes it very easy for customers to extend their video conferencing
deployments.”
Logitech MeetUp is designed to work with virtually any video
conferencing software application and cloud service, including Skype®
for Business, Cisco collaboration applications, and all Logitech
Collaboration Program partners such as BlueJeans, BroadSoft, Vidyo
and Zoom.
MeetUp captures a super-wide 120-degree field of view with the option to
pan an additional 25 degrees to the left and right. A Logitech-engineered,
low-distortion lens, UltraHD 4K optics, and three camera presets
deliver a premium video experience. MeetUp has integrated audio
optimized for huddle room spaces, delivering an exceptional sound
experience. Three sound-isolating mics and a voice-optimized speaker
help ensure everyone is heard as clearly as they are seen. MeetUp is
Microsoft Cortana® certified for precision voice commands
with any Windows 10 system. For larger rooms, where meeting participants
are more than eight feet from the microphone, customers may also
purchase the Logitech Expansion Mic for MeetUp.
Logitech also introduced its ConferenceCam Soft Remote, an app that
easily turns a smartphone or tablet into a remote control for Logitech
MeetUp. ConferenceCam Soft Remote features all the controls available on
the Logitech remote. It is compatible with both Android and iOS devices
and will be available in July free-of-charge from the Google Play or
Apple App stores.
