QSC has released a portfolio of meeting room accessories certified for Microsoft Teams, through collaboration with Microsoft Teams certified partners Sennheiser and Logitech. Together, these offer complete room solutions that are intended to simplify installation and management for divisible spaces, training rooms, executive boardrooms and all-hands spaces.
‘These newly certified solutions give IT and A/V Managers the opportunity to extend their Microsoft Teams experience into rooms that traditionally required complicated programming, separate DSP and control integration schemes,’ explains QSC VP of Alliances & Market Development, Jason Moss. ‘We have worked with Microsoft to remove the guesswork out of specialty room design and deployment for Teams Rooms.’
The accessory portfolio centres on the Q-Sys Ecosystem and the Q-Sys 110f Core processor, which combine audio, video and control for QSC native or third-party peripherals. Further support is provided by a line of networked QSC Energy Star qualified SPA Series power amplifiers and the AcousticDesign Series loudspeaker range. Q-Sys NS Series network switches designed and manufactured by Dell EMC and pre-configured by QSC can be used to further simplify installation, setup, and management. QSC and Sennheiser have also partnered to include the Teams Rooms certified Sennheiser TeamConnect Ceiling 2 microphone, including a control plug-in for quick and easy software integration into the Q-Sys Ecosystem.
In addition, the flexibility designed into the software-based Q-Sys Ecosystem provides scalable, standards-based A/V infrastructure that simplifies integration with many other Teams Rooms certified accessories, including the Logitech Tap touch controller and Logitech Rally Camera. Full room solutions can now be easily designed and configured to address the unique needs of larger physical spaces including additional processing requirements and more challenging spaces.
‘Microsoft strives to bring the Teams Rooms experience of seamless collaboration experiences to any space, and the solutions of QSC for Microsoft Teams make it easier to bring the power of Teams to larger, specialised meeting spaces,’ says Albert Kooiman, Director of Microsoft Teams Devices Partner Engineering & Certification.
‘The integration process of Sennheiser microphones into Microsoft Teams Rooms is seamless and simple with our new Q-Sys plug-in that Sennheiser co-developed with QSC. It allow admins to easily configure and control solutions like our TeamConnect Ceiling 2 microphone,’ adds Sennheiser Global Business Development Manager, Charlie Jones. ‘Together with QSC, we are excited to help users experience the power of a Teams Room on a larger scale.’
