3. Make everyone feel truly heard and seen
Working across locations with employees on site and others connected from their home office can cause an imbalance in communication, particularly for remote workers.
When employees work from their home office, they should feel seen and heard and enjoy equal opportunities to contribute. With ClickShare video bars, you get high-quality audio and advanced video capabilities.
High-quality audio
A study highlights the impact of audio quality on the overall perceived quality of audio-visual content. The research reveals how audio degradations, such as background noise and clipping, significantly affect viewers' satisfaction with video content.
The ClickShare video bar addresses these concerns with its high-quality stereo sound, thanks to the two 10W speakers with passive radiators, meaning that onsite attendees will be clearly heard by remote workers.
The 6 MEMS microphones with beam forming enable precise voice capture. The real-time noise removal and acoustic echo cancelation will filter out unwanted noise, to make sure you stay laser-focused on your meeting objectives.
Advanced visualization
The bar features a 4K camera with a 120° FOV for an extensive room view and multiple AI-enabled framing options guarantee an enhanced view in meetings, so that remote participants truly see in-room attendees, facilitating easy communication.
What´s more, with ConferenceView and dual screen support, in-room attendees can see remote participants displayed next to the shared content at all times, on one or two screens for better and more inclusive collaboration.
Enhanced, interactive collaboration
Wireless conferencing capabilities are built into our bars so you can join your hybrid meeting in less than 7 seconds via the ClickShare Button or App, just like you´re used to, with no cables and no hassle.
What´s more, in-depth collaboration and high engagement are guaranteed thanks to our range of interactive features: touchback, blackboarding and annotation.
All these features together create an environment where distance is no longer a barrier to collaboration, ensuring that remote attendees are as much a part of the meeting as those in the room.
