Any modern company with more than one office is unlikely to do without regular video conferences. However, simple solutions thrown together by a system administrator often do not provide quality images and sound, and the occasional connectivity issues will eventually prompt management to consider investing in professional solutions. One of the most accessible options is offered by the company Logitech<\/a><\/noindex>, well known to any home user not only for its high-quality input devices but also for its wide range of webcams.<\/p>\n

\"New<\/p>\n

We managed to speak with representatives from Logitech in their Moscow office, where, using two test meeting rooms, we could view and test the proposed video conferencing solutions: Logitech Rally and Logitech MeetUp with the touchscreen controller Logitech Tap. What these solutions are, how they differ, and what tasks they are suited for, we will find out now.<\/p>\n

\u2193<\/a><\/noindex>#<\/a><\/noindex>Technical Specifications and Connectivity Options<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The proposed solutions are based on the Rally and MeetUp conference cameras. The former is a premium-class solution designed for rooms accommodating 8 or more people. Everything depends on the addition of external microphone modules and speakers, of which this device can have two or one. The smaller model, MeetUp, is positioned as the ideal solution for very small meeting rooms accommodating up to 6 people. It has a built-in audio system with microphones, but an external microphone can also be connected if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
