From Huddle to Meeting Rooms, Boardrooms, Training Facilities, Banquet Halls and Auditoriums

Although room video conferencing systems have been in use since the 90s, the significant expansion of videoconferencing use during the pandemic established the desktop client as the dominant video conferencing reference.   With the move back to the office, specialized software was developed for services like Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, GoTo, and WebEx  to  connect and manage meetings in a collaborative space, allowing multiple participants (local and remote) to interact seamlessly during a meeting.

Whether installed in huddle rooms, meeting rooms, boardrooms, or large venues such as auditoriums or banquet halls, our AV solutions are engineered for ease-of-use and optimum audio and video performance based on the acoustics of the room.  Our purpose-built systems for videoconferencing offer robust security, rich content sharing features, and superior performance.

Devices for Meeting Venues

LPS is an authorized partner of Zoom and Microsoft for Videoconferencing Services.  We offer licenses for Zoom and Microsoft Teams and meeting room devices from Poly, Yealink, and Lifesize that  make it easier for teams to meet and collaborate, both in-office and with remote participants, .  The devices provide high-quality video and audio conferencing and make it easier for remote participants to interact with everyone in the  physical meeting room.

Equipment is available for Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, and Cisco WebEx via their native services and interfaces.  The equipment can also be used in device mode to connect a laptop or PC that is running almost all other services.  In this case, the laptop or PC is using the resources - camera, mic, and speakers of the room system.  Sort of like a WebCam on steroids.05085

The following are devices offered by Yealink and Poly.  The device on the left is the Yealink MeetingBoard running in Zoom Rooms mode.  The device on the right is a Poly X70 meeting bar running in Teams Rooms mode.

Devices from Yealink, HP Poly, Lifesize, BiAmp, Crestron and others support meeting services from Zoom, MS Teams, CoreNexa and others.

Our Design Focus

Our designs involve a combination of technical expertise, aesthetic judgment, and a deep understanding of the intended use and users of the system..  We pay close attention to the following:

Needs Assessment

Understanding the specific needs and goals of the client, including the types of events or presentations that will take place, audience size, and the physical characteristics of the space.

System Design

Selecting the right mix of audio and visual equipment that fits the space and meets the needs identified. This includes considering speaker placement, microphone types, display sizes and locations, as well as connectivity options.

Acoustic Considerations

Managing acoustics to ensure clear sound transmission by addressing issues like echo, reverberation, and noise interference. This may involve the use of acoustic panels, carpets, and specialized ceiling designs.

Visual Planning

Ensuring that visual elements such as projectors, screens, and monitors are placed for optimal viewing from all angles and in varying lighting conditions. Attention to resolution and aspect ratio is also crucial to match content type.

Integration and Control Systems

Designing a system that integrates various components smoothly, allowing for easy control of audiovisual elements, often through centralized control systems or even remote access technologies.

User Interface Design

Creating user-friendly interfaces that allow users to easily manage and operate AV systems without needing specialized training. Simplicity and intuitive design are key.

Scalability and Flexibility

Designing systems that are scalable and flexible, allowing for future upgrades as technology evolves or as the needs of the space change.

Reliability and Support

Choosing high-quality, reliable equipment, and planning for ongoing maintenance and support to ensure the system remains functional and up-to-date.

Budget Management

Balancing the ideal system design with the available budget, finding cost-effective solutions that do not compromise on critical needs.

Compliance and Standards

Ensuring all designs comply with relevant standards and regulations, including safety and accessibility standards.

Effective AV design requires a multi-disciplinary approach, involving AV designers, architects, engineers, and IT specialists to create a cohesive and functional system.

The Finished Result

The following is a meeting room designed by LPS and outfitted with Yealink devices for Audio and Video Conferencing using Zoom as the meeting service.   All components are integrated with the room and designed to support it's visual and acoustic characteristics.

The following auditorium was outfitted with microphones, speakers, projector, and a Lifesize videoconferencing system to support the video and audio characteristics of the space.
