Create vibrant and flexible hubs for ad-hoc collaboration where teams can connect, share ideas, and make decisions.
Offer unparalleled experiences by intelligently framing participants, capturing every voice, presenting high-resolution live video and content, and delivering unmatched audio quality.
Design your perfect huddle room and easily scale it across your offices with radically simple deployments and unified management.
Ensure optimal conditions in the room for employee wellbeing, track occupancy and usage, and optimize space allocation with sensor-driven insights.
Simplify your room deployment.
With less conferencing components and a simple, repeatable workspace architecture, this setup allows you to take the guesswork out of installation, troubleshooting, and maintenance while reducing the total cost of ownership and ongoing support.
Keep everyone perfectly framed.
Featuring a wide-field-of-view camera and the power of AI, all participants in the room are equally represented in the meeting while virtual meeting zone helps to avoid framing passers-by in open and glass-walled environments.
Capture every voice.
Powered by built-in, 4-element beamforming mic array and extension with the latest generation of conferencing microphones, your teams can confidently ensure all voices are heard with clarity.
Mounting recommendations
When deploying the Room Bar, consider the position of the video bar, screen(s), and the distance between people and the device. To get the best viewing angle, we recommend placing the video bar above the display, but not too high to avoid a top-down viewing angle effect.
Video bar placement
The video bar can be placed below the screen when using a larger display. When installing it under the screen, make sure the screen isn’t mounted too high so that proper ergonomics can be maintained for in-room participants.
Get the best audio experience
Enhance your audio experience with an acoustically absorbing suspended ceiling panel along with acoustical wall panels on adjoining walls. For rooms with parallel glass walls, use heavy curtains or special transparent acoustic panels. Decorative elements like the wooden batten pattern can be effectively used as wall absorbers. To dampen the sound of footsteps and moving chairs, we recommend carpeting on the floor.
Boost audio pickup
The video system features an internal microphone array and is optimized for use in small spaces with people seated within 3 meters (10 ft) from the device. If participants are seated further or the room features suboptimal acoustic conditions, we recommend adding a Cisco table or ceiling microphone to ensure the best audio experience.
Customize your deployment
You can mount the video bar to the screen or on the wall with a single mounting unit included in the package. To ensure a clean setup without visible cabling, you should elevate power and data outlets. If wall mounting is not an option, you can install a free-standing setup or mount it on an AV credenza, available from Cisco partners.
Optimal room design
High-quality furniture is essential for a successful meeting experience. We recommend a slightly slanted, tapered table shape with the widest edge nearest the screen, tapering toward the far end to ensure that everyone is visible on the camera and has a clear line of sight towards the screens.
Get the perfect lighting
To ensure meeting participants look their best, they should be lit from the front (fill light), top (key light), and back (backlight). For optimal visibility, eye contact, subject highlighting, and scene depth, use glare-free luminaries with a beam angle of 90°or wider to evenly distribute light throughout the room.
Fine-tuning color
We recommend using a light intensity of 400-500 lux, measured vertically, to clearly capture facial features, and 700-900 lux for optimal brightness on horizontal work surfaces. Room lighting should be even, and a light color temperature of 4000 K is generally suitable for most scenarios. For accurate color representation of skin tones and interiors, use a color rendering index (CRI) of 85 or better.
