Level 3 AudioVisual Advances Hybrid Workplaces with New Technology

Level 3 AudioVisual, a prominent AV systems integrator, has introduced automated camera switching technology to enhance video conferencing for hybrid and remote work environments. This advancement addresses the challenge of engaging remote participants equally in video meetings, a crucial aspect as companies solidify their remote work models.

The technology, stemming from significant industry innovation, automates camera controls to ensure all participants in larger room settings are visible and represented equally. This solution contrasts sharply with traditional setups, where manual camera adjustments often lead to unequal visibility and engagement among participants.

Jeff Bethke, Chief Business Officer at Level 3 AudioVisual, emphasizes the importance of these developments. Automated systems from Crestron and QSC, products of acquisitions of pioneers like 1 Beyond and Seervision, allow for smoother and more inclusive meetings by automatically switching to the best camera angle based on who is speaking.

Such dynamic camera control not only boosts efficiency and participant satisfaction but also overcomes common limitations found in platform solutions like Microsoft Teams Rooms and Zoom Rooms, which may struggle with handling multiple camera feeds in larger settings. Bethke highlights that ensuring "meeting equity" is central to their use of technology, providing a seamless and intuitive user experience.

For organizations looking to enhance their digital meeting spaces, Level 3 AudioVisual continues to deploy these innovative solutions, ensuring they integrate well with existing systems and support diverse operational needs without significant disruption to daily workflows.
