SmartDock is a modernized platform for meeting room accessories that includes Logitech ConferenceCams along with a user-friendly touch sensitive screen to manage and launch video calls from anywhere. With this technology, meetings can be scheduled without any delay and starting them is easy with a one-touch join feature. Instantly display a projection in a room and share it with all remote participants via their Skype for Business Clients running on their smartphones or laptops. Not just video conferencing, SmartDock can be used to make audio-only calls with multiple participants. With the latest Skype for Business meeting experience, users are now able to walk into a SmartDock virtual conference room and leave their laptops behind. The communiqué would be carried out as if all participants are sitting in the same space. The company further states that sharing content via HDMI is also a breeze with 1080p 60fps input and capture. The optional Logitech SmartDock Extender Box with a single five-meter cable integrating HDMI, USB, LAN and power creates a clutter-free environment and clears extraneous cables from the conference table. Logitech SmartDock offers HDMI input and output, three USB 3.1 ports and gigabit Ethernet, allowing a variety of Skype Room Systems-certified devices to be connected, including Logitech ConferenceCams. In addition, a power-saving sensor conveniently activates the Logitech SmartDock when motion is detected in the meeting space, and automatically turns the display off when the room is empty. Nobody is thrilled by the idea of a spiderweb-like tangled mess of wires giving off an impression of disorganization. What makes this device unique is the convenience and neatness it brings to business meetings and relieving its participants from the hassle of arranging and tuning the settings of different media devices. SmartDock is an elegant solution that would make its users appear more managed, synchronized and organized in front of clients and outside partners.
