Logitech launches all-in-on video conferencing solution

Company also releases presence and environmental sensor.

Logitech has launched two new products to enhance the meeting room space experience.

Rally Board 65 is an all-in-one video conferencing solution offering versatility for a variety of workspace needs. 

The device is designed for both open spaces and traditional meeting rooms. It is quick and easy to set up, and has flexible installation options, above- or below-camera orientation for natural eye-level contact, and AI-driven video and audio features. 

Its key features include:

●    Depth blur: Using a depth-mapping sensor to provide clear focus and reduce distractions by distinguishing between in-focus and out-of-focus areas, delivering a natural depth effect compared to standard background blur settings. Available in an upcoming CollabOS release.

●    Mic zone: Using advanced beamforming mics and Logitech’s latest audio AI algorithms to detect and reduce unwanted sounds outside the specified meeting area – users can sync camera and mic zones for convenience and create a “digital cocoon”.  Available in an upcoming CollabOS release.

●    Camera zone: Eliminating distractions by blurring areas outside of a defined zone so only people in the zone are in focus. 

●    RightSight 2: Using intelligent automation to optimise participant framing and image processing for clear, crisp visuals and productive person-to-person interactions. 

●    RightSound 2: Minimising background noise, reduces reverb, and balances voices to deliver crisp audio and eliminate distracting background noise. 

●    Platform compatibility: Working with video platforms such as Microsoft Teams and Zoom. 

●    Remote management: Managing Rally Board 65 through Logitech Sync. With Sync Remote UI Access, IT can configure devices quickly from any location, ensuring setup and control wherever they are, or manage Rally Board 65 with platform management portals such as Microsoft Teams Admin Center, Zoom Device Management and more. 

●    Smarter workplace insights: Using built-in environmental sensors to see occupancy and environmental data over time to make informed decisions about spaces. 

The second product is Logitech Spot.

The presence and environmental sensor can be easily deployed throughout the office to help improve space use, air quality and energy efficiency.

In addition, Logitech Spot’s data can be integrated with workplace platforms such as Appspace, Metrikus, Samsung SmartThings Pro, and will also be available through APIs.
