Extron teams up with HP to enhance the meeting room
Extron has announced a partnership with HP to create scalable meeting solutions for modern workspaces that will see the former’s room automation, audio and signal extension capabilities integrated with the HP Elite Slice G2, Microsoft Teams Rooms and Zoom Rooms solutions. The collaboration brings Extron audiovisual control capabilities to the HP Elite Slice G2, enabling complete AV and conferencing control across an enterprise. With this new solution, a tap on the HP Center of Room Control screen can control call volume for the room, as well as send commands that trigger automation events for control.
“Our work with HP enables Extron to integrate our extensive control and room automation experience into the HP Elite Slice G2, Microsoft Teams Rooms and Zoom Rooms solutions,” said Casey Hall, vice president of worldwide sales and marketing for Extron. “Using the HP Center of Room Control screen, users will be able to control conferencing, room AV, shades, lighting and more.”
As part of this conferencing, control and automation ecosystem, occupancy sensors can also be added to automate system power to turn on displays when participants enter a room and turn them off when the room is empty.
“Many companies are transforming their current conferencing rooms to incorporate new technologies for more flexible meeting infrastructures,” added Loretta Li-Sevilla, head of future of work and collaboration business, HP. “HP is excited to work with Extron to help create scalable, powerful collaboration experiences for today’s workforce. By incorporating AV control and automation into a single user interface, the HP Elite Slice G2 will enhance the conference room experience for our users.”
