DTEN’s attendance at UC Expo Europe, taking place on October 12th-13th, couldn’t come at a better time for the US-based video conferencing & collaboration company, following their recent running streak of product innovations and award wins. 

Being one of the largest Unified Communications events in Europe, UC Expo encompasses the latest ‘must have’ technologies and insights for increased productivity, as well as enhanced employee and customer experience. 

As the event draws nearer, DTEN’s Head of EMEA, Doug Remington, gave me a preview of the company’s new products and features to be showcased. 

DTEN ME Pro: ‘Inclusiview’ Feature

DTEN’s ME Pro is a 27-inch, all-in-one device with multiple uses: It can be used in small huddle spaces, booths, and pods, as well as serve as a personal device, a kiosk, or a workspace reservations solution. Having recently won Best Hybrid Collaboration Product at the UC Awards, its efficiency for present-day collaborators has been established. 

While the device itself has already been in the market for a while, what’s currently interesting to discuss is its new Inclusiview feature.   

“This feature has recently debuted at InfoComm and has won rAVe’s Best of Show Award. It’s extremely effective within the hybrid environment,” Remington shares.  

To explain how Inclusiview works, it’s important to note that the ME Pro has a 3-camera array, providing a 160-degree field of view, which enables smart framing.  

“Inclusiview allows people to spread quite widely in a small space while capturing all of them individually and framing them in their own view effectively, without the bending and distortion often seen on wide-angle cameras,” Remington explains. 

This, in turn, provides that much-needed meeting equity, where each person is clearly represented, no matter where they’re located in relation to the device. Moreover, if anyone moves, Inclusiview can reframe and reposition them to retain the optimal view for each participant. It’s a great fit for spaces like huddle rooms or booths, where multiple people gather in front of a smaller device. 

DTEN Mate

DTEN Mate is a recently launched, Red Dot award-winning device, that can be used as either a controller or a scheduler and can either be placed on the desk or on a wall outside the door. It’s designed to be paired with both DTEN Zoom Room solutions and any other Zoom Room solution available.  

“While the all-in-one devices are wonderful for smaller rooms, when you’re in larger rooms, you may want to have a controller closer to hand that you can run the meetings from,” Remington explains. 

The Mate comes in two different versions – PoE and Wi-Fi – with the Wi-Fi version allowing some extra freedom and flexibility.  

“This version can be removed from the docking station, which means the user has the freedom to move around the meeting room with the device. retaining full control of the meeting as they move”,” Remington notes. 

“When the meeting is over, you can just place it back on the dock and have it recharge for the next people coming in. It’s a really nice touch, and different from what’s currently out there in the market.” 

DTEN ONboard

Last but not least is DTEN’s new ONboard solution, a 55-inch digital whiteboard that recently won the Best of Enterprise Connect award for meeting room innovations. ONboard is the first digital whiteboard purpose-built for the new Zoom Whiteboard; and just like the Mate, the ONboard can be paired with either a DTEN device or any other Zoom Room setup. 

“Many organisations and universities have rooms where they don’t have the digital whiteboard enabled, which means they have to make do with a video endpoint experience,” Remington says. 

“The ONboard can be added as a companion whiteboard, which means you can enable collaboration and touch into any meeting room by just pairing that with the Zoom Rooms platform.” 

On top of that, using the ONboard with the new Zoom Whiteboard also enables a persistent whiteboard capability, which means users can save, share, and return to their whiteboards whenever they want. 

When it’s not being used for whiteboarding and collaboration, the ONboard can also be used for additional Zoom features such as digital signage, workspace reservations, and the Zoom Rooms kiosk mode. 

“The ONboard is all about enhancing the hybrid work experience. It’s a cost-effective way to transform and upgrade any Zoom Room solution to a high-end, touch-enabled collaboration workspace experience.”
