What Is A Conferencing System?

Conferencing systems allow you to stay connected with all the important people necessary for your continued growth, without sacrificing the personal element of conducting business face-to-face.

What Types of Conferencing Systems Are Available?

There are two main types of conferencing systems available, audio teleconferencing and video conferencing.

1. Audio teleconferencing is a more traditional conference calling approach that uses the telephone system in order to connect multiple people to an audio call at once.
2. Video teleconferencing combines audio and video to provide voice communications and video images. Integrated video conferencing systems are designed to accommodate a fixed meeting location such as conference room. These systems are ideal for a company that needs to hold frequent video conferences between different offices. This type of video conferencing system links multi-office companies through high quality video and audio.

Video Conference Room Equipment Checklist

There are several technical elements that need to come together when configuring a room for virtual meetings and online video conferences. Some of these items may already exist in your boardroom, such as a monitor, camera, and microphone. In addition to this, you will also need a strong internet connection, adequate lighting and good soundproofing to shield the room from external noises. Fortunately, our professional team can assess whether your existing AV products can be utilised.

Connected TV or Displays

Conference rooms can vary in size from small rooms to large boardrooms, and it’s important to match the display to the size of the room. Our team will help you choose a video conferencing screen to ensure it is a suitable option for your room. However, the general rule of thumb is the bigger the room, the bigger the display.

Speakers, Microphones or Conference phone

Speakers and microphones are an important component of video conferencing and teleconferencing and contribute significantly to the meeting experience. A touchscreen conference phone provides a dedicated user interface for navigating your directory, controlling the camera pan, tilt and zoom options and also launching calls. Conference phones and microphones are purpose-built for video conferencing. They generally feature echo cancellation, automatic gain control and automatic noise reduction to give meeting room and conference participants crystal-clear audio.

Cameras

Your conference room camera can vary from a simple web camera for small huddle rooms to more sophisticated cameras for large conference rooms. In small huddle rooms with small video displays, the camera is usually placed above the display. In addition to the camera, you also need to consider the room lighting. Poor lighting will make the video conferencing experience unpleasant even if you have high-quality cameras.
