Make the Right Business Impressions with Today’s Technology

Increase Collaboration and Client Confidence with the Latest Conference Room Technology

Businesses throughout Minneapolis, MN, and much of the world continue redefining what's possible. Onsite employees have given way to a hybrid workforce, and more clients than ever expect to meet with company representatives remotely. 

If you haven’t updated your conference room technology recently, now may be the time. As the demand for these services increased, AV firms answered the call, creating impressive solutions that offer increased collaboration, crystal-clear audio, and video that makes one feel like you’re in the same room. 

If you’re meeting with a client for the first time or hoping to entice qualified employees, impressive conference and collaboration spaces have become vital. As the saying goes, “You never get a second chance to make a good first impression.”

The Makings of a Modern Conference Room

If you’ve been to any office buildings lately, you may have noticed that wide-open spaces have been replaced by smaller meeting areas, also known as huddle spaces. Leveraging space for collaboration and connecting with remote team members is a much better use of your real estate. 

The AV equipment for these spaces is similar to larger conference rooms on a smaller scale. It typically includes a flat panel display and HDMI cables that allow participants to connect their laptops, and sometimes integrated room controllers that offer wireless device connection. If there’s room, it’s a good idea to use two displays, allowing one for video conferencing and the other for screen sharing.

Many of today's smart cameras are designed with huddle spaces in mind. Like cameras for larger rooms, they offer 4K UltraHD video that delivers crystal-clear images. Beamforming microphones guide the camera, focusing in on the person speaking, and the right combination of high-definition speakers and microphones reduce any feedback.

The Boardroom

For those moments when board members are meeting or employees are delivering an important pitch to a new client, your boardroom needs to be ready to engage. 

At ResTech Systems, we partner with industry leaders in automation and audio-video technology. Savant, a leading automation platform, integrates with Zoom Rooms, creating an easily managed hybrid meeting. We’ll also program scenes unique to each situation. 

For example, press “Team Meeting” on your mobile device or Savant touchscreen, and Lutron shades and lighting adjust to the perfect level and hue while the background audio pauses and your audio-video equipment turns on. Once the conference ends, the room returns to its original state.

An Integrated System

The same platform that controls your lighting, climate, AV, and security, also controls your distributed audio-video system. This system sends high-performance audio video throughout your enterprise. All AV equipment is housed neatly in an equipment room and, from there, distributed to high-fidelity in-wall and in-ceiling speakers and 4K HDR TVs.

Businesses are also increasingly adopting LED lights with a color rendering index (CRI) of 80-90, a similar output to natural sunlight that has proven to positively impact employees while using far less electricity. 

At ResTech Systems, our team of audio, video, and automation experts are there from the design phase through long-term support, ensuring a seamless AV experience. To learn more about conference room technology or to schedule a complimentary consultation, contact ResTech Systems today.
