1201-MV Universal Switcher Delivers True BYOD Video Conferencing

by Leave a Comment

TEKVOX raises the bar for distance engagement in both the educational and corporate markets with its groundbreaking 1201-MV Universal Switcher. The latest in TEKVOX’s prestigious line of switchers delivers true Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) video conferencing by eliminating the need for a conventional in-room PC to drive the conference’s technical components.

“Laptops today are powerful, and a lot of video conference participants would really prefer to present from them,” notes TEKVOX CEO Jim Reinhart. “But they’d have to connect the laptop to the eyes and ears—cameras, mics, speakers—of the conference room and play out the content.

Before, that meant running a lot of cables to the conference table or using a separate PC. Now, they can use the 1201-MV and its built-in USB 3.0 hub to gain immediate access to far-end USB mics and cameras. The full infrastructure of a modern conference room has become plug-and-play.”

The 1201-MV is not just another switcher; it features a two-way USB hub at the far end, which allows any connected laptop to host meetings from the conference room using the installed technology. This groundbreaking capability does away with the need for a dedicated conferencing PC, and removes the security risks and overall annoyance associated with the old use model.

The introduction of the 1201-MV demonstrates TEKVOX’s continued commitment to increase product functionality and reduce the amount of hardware required for successful video conferencing.

The 1201-MV utilizes 6-Play HDBase-T to transport 4K video, digital audio, PoC, RS232, LAN, and USB over a single cable. It also includes a native USB-C input with up to 60W of power charging for a tablet or laptop. It features 12 flexible multiview modes for viewing up to four sources at once without additional hardware, something that was not possible with previous 1201 switchers. Finally, the 1201-MV features auto-switching—a useful function for collaboration & conferencing—and a breakaway HDMI output.

The 1201-MV is available now with an MSRP of $2,998. The switcher is shipped fully functional, pre-programmed, and rigorously tested.

TEKVOX’s 79086S Camera Extender Set Simplifies Power Delivery To HDMI Cameras For Distance Engagement

by Leave a Comment

TEKVOX’s new Camera Extender Set improves the capabilities of HDMI cameras in classrooms, auditoriums, lecture halls, and conference centers facilitating distance engagement.

The Camera Extender Set allows integrators to mount an HDMI camera anywhere, without needing an AC outlet at the camera. Using a single CAT cable, the 79086S transports 4K video, bi-directional LAN and RS232, and 2.5A of 12V power to drive a camera at the far-end.

A single outlet at the receiver-end can power the transmitter, receiver, and camera, eliminating the need for a far-end outlet.

Typically, the availability of an AC outlet constrains the placement of HDMI cameras. The 79086S, however, drives the most advanced 4K HDMI camera without any additional power connections, entirely removing that constraint. Greater freedom allows integrators to install the camera wherever it’s needed most, resulting in a cleaner system and a superior user experience.

“The camera extender set significantly lowers the cost of installing a camera, and eliminates the obstacles associated with getting power to a camera,” says TEKVOX CEO Jim Reinhart. “It’s the ideal solution anywhere integrators want to deploy an HDMI camera over HDBase-T for video conferencing and distance learning.”

The 79086S Camera Extender Set streamlines the installation of HDMI cameras by offering greater freedom of placement, resulting in an enhanced user experience without sacrificing the advanced functionality of a 4K HDBaseT extender pair.

It is available now with an MSRP of $875.

TEXVOX Adds HTML5 Compatibility Across Its Camera Range

by Leave a Comment

TEKVOX has announced that its large complement of cameras is now compatible with the HTML5 standard. With Adobe ceasing to distribute and update Flash Player after December 31, 2020, HTML5 is recognized as a viable alternative for Flash content, and major browsers have integrated the open standard. TEKVOX has recognized this industry shift by providing HTML5 compatibility for camera control via web portals.

The wide array of cameras offered by TEKVOX forms part of the company’s Drop-In A/V solutions for videoconferencing and distance learning; cameras may also be purchased separately for video capture in classrooms and conference rooms.

Most available cameras support resolutions up to 1080p (full HD); however, TEKVOX has recently added 4K cameras for customers who demand the highest standard in video quality. In addition, TEKVOX offers two new auto-tracking cameras to capture speakers dynamically: the Wunderbar All-in-One Conferencing Bar—featuring a built-in microphone and speaker—and the stand-alone HD/1080p Auto-Tracking Camera, with exceptionally smooth 10x optical zoom.

TEKVOX’s PTZ cameras have different levels of zoom: from 5x optical zoom—for use in small spaces requiring a wide field of view—up to 20x zoom for larger lecture halls. They feature smooth and precise movement for pan, tilt, and zoom operations.

All the cameras offered by TEKVOX are robust & well-designed, and are available with HDMI or HDBase-T outputs. In addition to TCP/IP (web-based) control, they are controllable via RS232, RS422/485, or the included IR remotes.

“The new auto-tracking and 4K cameras bolster our full range of professional-quality PTZ cameras,” notes TEKVOX CEO Jim Reinhart. “By offering HTML5 compatibility, all TEKVOX cameras are now fully qualified for corporate and educational applications in a post-Flash world.”

TEKVOX Introduces the 1201-MV Presentation Switcher with 4K Compatibility and Many Advanced Features

by Leave a Comment

The latest in TEKVOX’s prestigious line of 1201 presentation switchers, the 1201-MV offers even more advanced features to further enhance the company’s popular Drop-In A/V systems.

“The new 1201-MV has all the power and sophistication customers have come to expect from a 1201 switcher, plus an array of cutting-edge features designed for easier integration and more versatile, responsive operation,” says TEKVOX CEO Jim Reinhart.

As TEKVOX moves to make all of its solutions compatible with 4K, the 1201-MV supports video resolutions up to 4Kx2K@60Hz 4:4:4.

The switcher features five HDMI inputs, as well as one USB-C input with up to 60W of power charging. It offers simultaneous HDMI and HDBase-T video outputs, with the HDMI output capable of acting as either a system confidence monitor or a PC monitor, depending on the application. These capabilities make the switcher more versatile, and reduce the amount of equipment and cabling required for a complete system.

For maximum convenience, the 1201-MV provides USB pass-through ports for a PC and peripheral devices. This allows a single mouse and keyboard to control both the PC and a connected USB-C source, depending on which is selected.

The new 1201-MV offers robust multiview and features 12 flexible configurations, allowing users to view up to four sources at once without additional hardware. “This was not possible with our previous 1201 switchers, and allows our clients to use their systems exactly as they want,” says Reinhart.

The switcher also supports automatic source detection & switching, an in-demand function especially useful for collaboration and conferencing solutions.

The 1201-MV’s HDBase-T output can travel up to 330 feet (100m) without any additional amplification, and supports PoH for remotely powering the receiver, resulting in convenient, single-cable installation. The 1201-MV also features sophisticated audio embedding & de-embedding, ensuring clear, reliable sound regardless of how it’s used. Finally, the switcher can be controlled via IR remote, RS-232, or TCP/IP commands for versatile, responsive operation & easy integration into any system.

The 1201-MV is available now with an MSRP of $2,995. The switcher is shipped fully functional, pre-programmed, and rigorously tested.

TEKVOX Launches the Wunderbar All-in-One Conferencing Bar

by Leave a Comment

In order to deliver more simply designed, fully consolidated videoconferencing systems with fewer pieces of equipment, TEKVOX has introduced the Wunderbar All-in-One Conferencing Bar. The elegant, streamlined Wunderbar features a 4K auto-tracking camera, an array microphone, and an audio speaker, all in a single, convenient package that’s easy to install and use. Ideal for small conference rooms or huddle rooms, the Wunderbar can be combined with a PC & display to deliver all the essentials needed for videoconferencing.

“Every iteration of TEKVOX videoconferencing systems is more integrated and easier to install and use. By combining three incredible technologies in one, the Wunderbar is another step in that direction,” says TEKVOX CEO Jim Reinhart. “Prior to the Wunderbar you’d need a 4K camera, a separate touchscreen controller, and an array microphone mounted on the ceiling or a table – components that cost much more than the Wunderbar and require surplus cabling. The Wunderbar is easily mounted on a wall or table, and connected to a videoconferencing PC via a single USB 3.0 cable.”

The Wunderbar’s versatile 4K camera dynamically tracks speakers to keep them in frame. It features an ultra-wide field of view for capturing full-room video, and 5x digital zoom for crisp, reliable video. The sophisticated beamforming microphone and full-frequency speakers deliver high-end audio for superior clarity during videoconferences.

A single USB 3.0 connection offers convenience and ease of installation. The versatile Wunderbar also includes multiple mounting options and joint HDMI/USB 3.0 outputs for other use cases.

The Wunderbar is shipped fully functional, pre-programmed, and rigorously tested. It has an MSRP of $1,325, and is now shipping.

“The Wunderbar provides a videoconferencing solution with unmatched quality, convenience, and sophistication for an incredibly cost-effective price,” Reinhart concluded.

TEKVOX Supports Innovative INCubatoredu Program for High School Entrepreneurs with 4K Collaboration Station Drop-In Systems

by Leave a Comment

TEKVOX is supporting Uncharted Learning’s national INCubatoredu program—which offers high school students an authentic entrepreneurship experience as they make presentations and build proposals—with sophisticated 4K collaboration systems at two Texas high schools.

Uncharted Learning launched the first INCubatoredu program in Barrington, Illinois in 2013. Since then, many more high schools nationwide have adopted this rigorous curriculum, enabling students to learn foundational business concepts

from entrepreneurs and business experts. These coaches guide student teams through the processes of ideation, market research, and business plan development. Students conduct a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) presentation to secure funding to test their product, and innovative ideas have the possibility of securing additional funding that will help turn their business plans into a reality.

“TEKVOX is proud to have upgraded the INCubatoredu spaces at Vista Ridge High School in Cedar Ridge and Vandegrift High School in Leander with our 4K collaboration Drop-Ins,” says TEKVOX CEO Jim Reinhart. “These systems represent the apex of advanced A/V teamwork solutions, and really take the back-and-forth group work at the heart of the INCubatoredu program to the next level with their incredible versatility & ease of use.”

Vista Ridge and Vandegrift have very similar solutions; an instructor podium and main display occupy the front of the room, with six student pods—each seating four to five people—distributed throughout the rest of the space.

Each student pod has its own display and can function as a fully-independent collaboration station, complete with 4K resolution, flexible multiview configurations, and touchscreen controls. The instructor can operate the space as a standard classroom, displaying sources—such as a PC, laptop, document camera, or Blu-ray player—on the main display at the front of the classroom.

“The greatest strength of our INCubatoredu systems lies in the connected collaboration opportunities they provide,” Reinhart explains. “Instructors can present any of their sources on the student pods’ displays or on the main display, or share one pod’s work with the rest of the class. This results in a cohesive system in which students can collaborate with their group, the instructor, and the rest of the class.”

In addition to this, the INCubatoredu Drop-In supports seamless video conferencing and lecture capture. Each student pod, along with the instructor podium, is outfitted with a microphone, and the room has dedicated cameras for the instructor and students, all fully-integrated into the overall system. This allows visiting experts and entrepreneurs to present to the class remotely, and allows the instructor to record their presentations for future reference.

With state-of-the-art connected collaboration, unrivaled ease-of-use, and fully-integrated video conferencing & lecture capture, TEKVOX’s INCubatoredu Drop-Ins offer a sophisticated solution for these programs that stimulates innovation and collaboration. TEKVOX looks forward to working with other INCubatoredu programs in the future to achieve their goals of business & entrepreneurship education.

TEKVOX Launches ShareView Wireless Presentation System For Conference Rooms And Collaboration Systems

by Leave a Comment

TEKVOX has introduced the ShareView Wireless Presentation System (79060-WPS), the perfect option for conference rooms and collaboration systems. The new ShareView Wireless allows multiple users to share content on a single display at once, and supports exceptional 4K resolution, all without requiring any wires or cabling.

Wireless presentation systems are ranked one of the Top 10 strategic technologies to improve BYOD collaboration in professional spaces. They allow users to mirror the content of their notebooks or mobile devices on a shared projector, flat panel or TV screen without plugging in any cables. Presenters can be switched at the click of a button to share ideas, concepts and media with no time wasted.

TEKVOX’S compact, agile ShareView Wireless offers the advanced functionality of a powerful multiview switcher combined with the unmatched convenience of a wireless presentation system. No more long cables running through rooms and under tables. Instead, two to four small HDMI transmitters, one per source, deliver plug-and-play functionality to make presenting from any laptop, tablet, or smartphone quick and easy. With the HDMI transmitters, no client software is needed and the point-to-point transmission is supported eliminating the need for access to the site’s WiFi network. The device also supports hardware-free access from iOS, Android and Windows devices.

“ShareView Wireless is no bare-bones system,” notes TEKVOX CEO Jim Reinhart. “It offers many premium features typically only found in expensive, high-end systems, including support of resolutions up to 4K @ 60Hz, the ability to display up to four sources at once with powerful and responsive multiview, and USB touchback/pass-through. Even better, it offers these premium features at an affordable, competitive price.”

ShareView Wireless has serial control, so it integrates seamlessly with any TEKVOX system. Users can control the system via built-in touch-to-select buttons or RS232 commands. Sources are selected quickly and easily with the push of a button, and the system’s ultra-compact design makes mounting anywhere simple and easy.

“In addition, ShareView Wireless is a completely independent system that does not require a network connection,” Reinhart points out. “ShareView Wireless breaks the dependency on an active network connection, offering full functionality without consuming valuable bandwidth.”

ShareView Wireless is shipping now and is available in two models. Model 79060-WPS includes the WMS-20 base unit and two transmitters and supports side-by-side multiview. Model 79060-WPS4 includes the WMS-40 base unit and four transmitters and supports quad multiview.

TEKVOX Launches Three-in-One ShareView Video Conferencing PC

by Leave a Comment

TEKVOX has introduced the ShareView Video Conferencing PC (P/N 79402), a one-box solution that combines a powerful video conference–ready PC, TEKVOX’s ShareView software, and the TEK-PC software-based system controller in a compact package for unparalleled videoconferencing and distance engagement.

The ShareView PC is a highly integrated, three-in-one solution that accomplishes what individual TEKVOX components have previously offered customers, but with a significantly higher degree of integration. “The ShareView PC is ideal for those looking for a one-box product to provide videoconferencing and remote learning capabilities,” says TEKVOX CEO Jim Reinhart.

“With a footprint of just 63 square inches and a weight of seven pounds, the ShareView PC is easy to install and fit in offices and classrooms.

“A few years ago, achieving what the ShareView PC does would have required up to five individual components,” he explains. “The streamlined ShareView PC is a stand-alone videoconferencing solution with as few pieces of hardware as possible.”

Sharing content in a typical PC-based conference room requires the content owner either to transfer the content onto the host PC or to connect their laptop to the meeting in parallel. Moving content to the host PC via USB drive or file-sharing raises security concerns, while connecting in parallel from the meeting room wastes time, increases cost and often creates myriad frustrating audio feedback issues. ShareView eliminates these problems, combining the sophistication of a video codex system and the convenience of web-based videoconferencing with an affordable, intuitive and non-invasive interface.

The ShareView PC features a Win 10 IoT PC with two built-in HDMI inputs, i7 CPU, support for 4Kx2K@60Hz resolution, 64 GB of memory and four dedicated RS232 ports for conducting serial control of other devices.

“It’s an amazing one-box solution that puts no load on the campus network and never requires downloading additional software,” notes Reinhart. “Every iteration of TEKVOX’s videoconferencing and distance engagement systems streamlines and more fully integrates the product and the user experience. We believe that the ShareView PC will be the new standard for videoconferencing and distance engagement.”

ShareView PC is available now via TEKVOX authorized dealers.

TEKVOX and SKG Forge Partnership to Offer One-Stop Technology-Workspace Solutions

by Leave a Comment

It was serendipity when Jim Reinhart, CEO of TEKVOX, met Diana Keller, Co-founder and President of SKG Inc. while they were walking their dogs about four years ago. During the ensuing conversation they discovered that TEKVOX’s unique A/V control solutions and SKG’s innovative workspace designs were complementary businesses and natural partners. Thoughtfully integrating A/V technology with well-designed office furniture makes for better overall office design and a more efficient and engagingorkplace and avoids destroying expensive tables and consoles to adapt them to A/V use.

Reinhart and Keller have forged a partnership that has expanded business for both of their firms. They have teamed on a project for the Leander Independent School District and on the entrepreneurialcubator classroom facilities at Vista Ridge High School in Cedar Park; they completed a job for X Technologies in San Antonio and partnered on A/V collaboration tables and videowalls across a wide range of industries.

“Tech means equipment, power and cabling. Office or instructional furniture designed with no thought about how it will be used can be pretty but also pretty expensive to effectively use,” says Reinhart. “How do you put tech in a typical marble-topped executive conference table? We’ve encountered this time and time again with our line of drop-in solutions. It costs the customer a lot of time and money to do this at installation time when the actual-case hasn’t been comprehended.”

From the outset, he and Keller were on the same page in wanting to achieve the best results for clients investing in cutting-edge technology. Keller refers to creating “holistic work force solutions that fuse technology, furniture and the workplace environment, something most companies don’t even consider,” Reinhart points out. “It’s about functionality, aesthetics and economics; you have to own the whole experience. TEKVOX spends a lot of time thinking about how to install equipment, and SKG drives thoughtfulness in design:what happens when people use the furniture.”

He notes that SKG has been “in the forefront of integrating technology with design, materials and furniture to create a comprehensive solution. They supply solutions not just furniture. This kind of support creates a long-term bond with the customer.”

Keller recalls that when SKG opened in Austin 25 years ago the company was already more forward thinking than the competition and well prepared for the area’s rise as an innovation hub. “There’s been lots of growth in high tech; we see the area just exploding,” she says.

Partnering with TEKVOX positioned SKG to take advantage of the high-tech boom: Keller estimates that technology and furniture packages now comprise about 30% of SKG’s total work.

“We understand each other’s products and philosophies,” Keller says of TEKVOX and SKG. “We want our clients to press the easy button: It’s such a pain for clients to have to deal with multiple vendors. With TEKVOX we can collaborate easily without going through layers of infrastructure.

“The tech is there today to push us toward a hands-free environment. A conference room should know what tech you have and be able to adapt to the install. Our workplace should respond to us; we have to become digitally fit and literate in technology in order to maximize how to use it.”

On TEKVOX’s part teaming with SKG streamlines the process for customers investing in TEKVOX’s line of easy-to-use drop-in solutions. They gain the benefits of one-stop shopping and workspaces tailored for innovative A/V technology and creative collaboration.

The COVID-19 pandemic is a challenging time, and effective A/V communication across distances has become a necessity for many sectors. TEKVOX and SKG are working to develop a financing option so clients such as small municipal governments can set up live-streaming environments for the first time.

“We are interested in seeing what we can do to get them working on a distance basis with their constituents so they can get the word out from their homes, chambers or whatever venue may require live-streaming,” says Reinhart.
