Meeting Room AV
Microsoft Teams Rooms, Zoom Rooms, and Webex Rooms certified meeting spaces engineered for clarity. Audio that captures every voice, video that frames every participant, control that works the first time.
What the system does
Platform-certified rooms
Microsoft Teams Rooms, Zoom Rooms, and Webex Rooms certified hardware bundles. Native calendar integration, one-tap-to-join, and IT-managed room accounts. Choose one platform or run multiple in parallel.
Beamforming microphones
Ceiling-mounted beamforming arrays with automatic talker tracking. Pick up every voice clearly without table clutter. DSP processing handles noise cancellation, echo suppression, and gain optimization.
PTZ cameras with auto-framing
Pan-tilt-zoom cameras that automatically frame the active speaker or the full group. 4K resolution with intelligent composition that follows conversation flow without manual operation.
Wireless content sharing
AirPlay, Miracast, and platform-native sharing for guests and BYOD devices. No cables, no dongles, no waiting for the right adapter. Works for both in-room and remote participants.
Single-touch control
Crestron and Extron room control on a single touch panel. Start the meeting, adjust audio, switch sources, control lights and blinds — all from one interface. Users learn the system in 30 seconds.
Acoustic and lighting integration
Room acoustics tuned for clear voice pickup. Lighting integrated with the AV system — meeting mode dims the room and biases lights toward camera-facing participants for better on-screen presence.

Meeting room sizing guide
Where this gets deployed
Headquarters and regional offices standardizing meeting rooms across multiple floors and locations with consistent IT-managed Teams or Zoom experiences.
Ministerial offices, council chambers, and government meeting facilities requiring secure platform integration and dual-language Arabic/English interface support.
University boardrooms, faculty meeting spaces, and executive offices in higher education institutions and K-12 administrative facilities.
Hotel conference rooms, executive lounges, and event spaces that need flexible AV that hospitality staff can operate without training.
Law firms, consulting partnerships, and financial advisory offices where client-facing meetings demand high-end audio quality and discreet, reliable technology.
Hospital administrative boardrooms, multi-disciplinary team rooms, and telemedicine consultation spaces requiring clear audio for clinical discussion.
Meeting Room AV — common questions
Should we standardize on Teams Rooms, Zoom Rooms, or Webex Rooms?
The right answer is almost always: standardize on whatever platform your organization already uses for daily collaboration. If your IT runs Microsoft 365, Teams Rooms gives you native calendar integration, room account management, and IT control. If you're on Zoom or Webex, the equivalent versions of those platforms do the same. Mixing platforms across rooms is technically possible but adds support overhead. Native certified hardware bundles cost slightly more than DIY but eliminate compatibility issues and platform-update breakage.
How many microphones do we actually need in a meeting room?
For huddle rooms (3 to 6 people), a single front-of-room camera bar with integrated microphones is usually sufficient. For standard meeting rooms (6 to 10 people), one ceiling beamforming microphone array gives full-room coverage. For larger boardrooms or training rooms (10 to 20+ people), you'll need two or more ceiling arrays plus possibly a lecturer microphone for presentations. The mic count is driven by room dimensions, ceiling height, and acoustic conditions, not just headcount.
Can the room be used without the meeting platform — for example, as a normal presentation room?
Yes. Properly designed meeting rooms support multiple modes. Native Teams or Zoom mode for video calls, BYOD wireless presentation mode (AirPlay, Miracast, ClickShare, Mersive) for ad-hoc local presentations, and HDMI source mode for direct laptop connection. The Crestron or Extron control system handles mode switching from the touch panel — users press one button to change between modes.
How do you handle Arabic-language and bilingual environments?
Touch panel interfaces are configured bilingual (Arabic and English) with right-to-left layout support. The Teams Rooms and Zoom Rooms platforms themselves are fully localized in Arabic. For ministerial and government environments, we also configure default language per user account so the room interface auto-switches based on who signs in. Audio platform — calls, transcription, recording — works in any language; the AV system is language-agnostic.
What's the typical timeline for a meeting room rollout?
Single meeting room with stock hardware: 4 to 6 weeks from contract to commissioned room. Multi-room standardization (5 to 30+ rooms across a building or multiple sites): 8 to 16 weeks, executed in batches so business continuity is preserved. Large estates (50+ rooms) typically run as a phased program over 4 to 8 months with a pilot phase, refinement based on user feedback, then production rollout.
