Logitech Room Solutions For Zoom (Appliance) – Medium

Appliance-based Zoom video conferencing system (no PC)- for medium conference rooms

Logitech introduces a new all-in-one standalone collaboration system designed to revolutionise the world of video conferencing. It consists of a Rally Bar, a management tablet (Tap) and a cabling kit that will allow you to easily participate in exceptional virtual meetings. Ideal for all professionals looking for reliability and power, this Zoom Rooms certified package is designed for “traditional” meeting rooms with up to 12 people.

Additional compatibilities 

This AV system is a stand-alone solution running on Android. To operate under Windows and benefit from the higher level of security provided by this operating system, the purchase of an additional Intel NUC is essential

Why choose this video conferencing system?

Because the image you send back to your audience is crucial, the Logitech Rally Bar is equipped with a 4K resolution camera that delivers spectacular image quality. It also features a powerful zoom lens and a wide 90-degree field of view to keep everyone in the conversation. RightLight and RightSight technologies provide natural colour reproduction and automatic silhouette detection, allowing your video bar to automatically adjust the viewing angle to the number of people in the room. Even if you’re communicating remotely, you’ll feel like you’re in a face-to-face meeting

Quality audio guaranteed 

The Logitech Rally Bar gives you exceptional audio quality. Its six omnidirectional beamforming microphones pick up voices from up to 4.5 meters away, so your callers can hear everyone in the room. RightSound technology allows the microphones to focus only on voices while suppressing echoes and background noise that can disrupt a conversation. This means you and your conversation partners can talk without sound interference, ensuring full understanding when communicating over a distance.

Easy use and management 

The Logitech Tap management tablet puts you in control of your meetings. Its large 10″ touchscreen with anti-glare technology gives you better visibility to manage your meetings efficiently. This tablet allows you to quickly launch your meetings but also to keep an eye on the reservations of the equipped room, to share content during a conference, or add participants. The cabling kit included in this package gives you more freedom to connect your tablet, which you can easily place on a flat surface or on a wall if you prefer to save space.

How do you set up this collaboration solution?

The new Rally Bar from Logitech is a standalone video conferencing solution that works directly through a cloud platform. You don’t need your computer at all to start a video conference, as this video bar integrates directly with a PC, so it only takes a few minutes to install. Simply connect the Logitech Rally Bar to your broadcast monitor via HDMI and connect it to the network using an RJ45 plug.

Quick start 

To start a meeting, simply login to your Zoom session with the Logitech Tap, a powerful control tablet for easy virtual meeting management. The remote control supplied with this video bar allows you to remotely perform the various actions required to make a video call. You can pick up the phone, hang up the phone, zoom in and out, and adjust the volume, all without having to go to your device.

Optional Plug&Play technology 

There is a second option for installing your Logitech Rally Bar. Although the Rally Bar was developed as a stand-alone video conferencing solution, it can be used as a Plug&Play device via your PC. A simple USB connection between your PC and the video bar is all that’s needed to get the bar up and running instantly and to start remote meetings via your computer.
