In the modern world, video communication has become very important for many companies. But to ensure comfortable communication in videoconferencing with high-quality picture and sound, you need special equipment. And Cisco together with Samsung are ready to offer such equipment to corporate clients.
The past few months have clearly shown many companies that it is not necessary to conduct negotiations and meetings or meet with clients “live”. Most of the issues, as it turned out, can be successfully solved remotely using videoconferencing. True, at the same time it is very desirable that the quality of such communication does not have a negative effect on the effectiveness of negotiations, that is, that the picture on the screen does not differ from what you see in a personal meeting. Therefore, high-class equipment for holding work events online is becoming especially in demand.
These solutions include Webex+Samsung Display and Webex+Samsung Flip Interactive Flipchart. These kits allow you to quickly and easily deploy a group video conferencing system that can offer high picture quality and ease of use. These solutions actually work "out of the box" and do not require time-consuming configuration.
Cisco Webex Room Kits are advanced video conferencing systems for a wide range of participants. The series includes four devices, each combining a smart webcam, a noise-canceling microphone and an array of quality speakers.
Between themselves, different versions of Webex Room systems differ in characteristics, primarily support for meeting rooms of different sizes. For example, the Webex Room Kit Mini solution is designed for small meeting rooms that typically have no more than 2-5 people. The Webex Room Kit is suitable for seven participants in one room, the Plus version is designed for 14 people in one meeting room, and the Pro model can handle an even larger group.
Webex Room systems cameras use high-resolution sensors. Due to this, subsequent intelligent framing of the image becomes possible using Best View and Speaker Track technologies. These technologies automatically adjust the frame size depending on the location of the people in the room and the location of the active speaker. The younger Mini model works through face detection (Best View), for older models, voice recognition (Speaker Track) is added to face recognition, which allows you to automatically “focus” the attention of a remote audience on the speaker. At the same time, the effective resolution of the main video stream is up to 1080p, and the presentation one is up to 4K.
The cameras support XNUMXx, XNUMXx, and XNUMXx zoom, depending on the model. There are autofocus, automatic adjustment of brightness and white balance.
For sound output, systems of three or five speakers, supplemented by a 24-watt amplifier, are responsible. To record sound, there is a microphone with support for automatic suppression of extraneous noise. Note that the system is able to synchronize the speech and lip movement of the speaker in the video. Also, older models have support for tracking the sound source.
Webex Room Kit systems are complete solutions, so they are not limited to recording and transmitting audio and video during conferences. You can also connect a computer or other content source to them, and thus, for example, conduct online presentations, simultaneously showing both a picture from the camera and presentation slides from another source. Supports image input with Full HD and 4K resolutions up to 60 and 30 fps, respectively.
In addition to the hardware, Cisco also offers an advanced software platform comprised of a number of components. Webex Calling and Webex Meetings are designed for making audio and video calls and conferences, Webex Teams allows you to collaborate remotely, Webex Control Hub simplifies system management, and Webex Hybrid Calendar Service makes it easy to schedule meetings and negotiations.
Obviously, a good corporate video suite is incomplete without a good display. Cisco says Samsung SMART Signage displays are ideal for its Webex Room systems. By supporting the Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) bi-directional serial bus, the combination of video communication system and display settings in this combination is automatic, which greatly simplifies the process of use.
Webex Room Kit video conferencing systems, together with SMART Signage displays, can even work without a local computer, allowing you to use and edit data on a remote system through a remote workspace. And to ensure protection from outside interference, there is a Samsung Knox security platform with “three-layer protection”.
Samsung offers a wide range of SMART Signage displays ranging from 43" to 75". In all cases, the resolution is 3840 × 2160 pixels, which corresponds to the 4K UHD standard. Models are available with brightness up to 350 and 500 cd/m2 and 72% or 92% NTSC color space coverage. Samsung also offers displays designed for XNUMX/XNUMX use.
In addition to Webex Display Solutions, Cisco is partnering with Samsung to offer the Webex and Flip solution, which is a combination of the Webex Room Kit Mini and the Samsung Flip digital flipchart (interactive display). They are more designed for online presentations and remote collaboration of several teams of employees.
The Samsung Flip Interactive Flipchart supports touch input with both fingers and styluses. This allows you to take notes, draw graphs or even recreate more complex drawings right on the screen. At the same time, those with whom you communicate will immediately see these notes.
The Samsung Flip is available in two sizes: a 55" tall stand with wheels and a 65" wall mount. In both cases, they have a resolution of 4K. Up to four people can draw on the touchpad at the same time. The flipchart can be supplemented with a multi-port adapter that includes connectors including HDMI, USB, RS232C, LAN and wireless Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
For Cisco + Samsung bundles, you can contact OCS, the only Russian distributor that has contracts with both corporations. Joint solutions that consist of the Cisco Webex Room Kit video conferencing system and Samsung SMART Signage professional displays or the compact Cisco Webex Room Kit Mini video conferencing system and the Samsung Flip interactive flipchart are already in the distributor's warehouses and available to OCS partners.
The joint solution of Cisco and Samsung will be of interest primarily to corporate customers from various industries, including industry, development companies, transport, education, and others, as well as companies that have a need for corporate training, regular presentations, trainings, collaboration, including remote.
In addition to the benefits of a single point of entry for procurement, partners can count on OCS's extensive high-level consulting and technical support and various financial services. For more information or questions, we can .
