First Look
at the New Skype Room System: Observations
Matt Landis
Igot the chance to sit down and put my hands on the new Skype Room System Smart Dock from Logitech with the Logitech team. You
can get the o cial specs and other items from Microso and Logitech/Polycom, but in the blog I will go over some of my own observations
1. MY OPINION IS THAT THIS ROOM SYSTEM WILL HIT THE SPOT.
e price is right. e implementation is right, its simple and anyone can do it. No complex servers to install to get it going means its a very BYOD-like experience to get going. Just plug it in, login with Skype for Business credentials and its up. ere are a ton of rooms out there that are waiting for this device.
2. THE CABLE
Microso specializes in so ware but a room system is a bunch of integrated hardware. How are all the pieces connected? By a cable supplied by the dock, at least in the case of Logitech. Logitech has a very clever cable that takes care
of connecting the Smart Dock, Monitor, audio device and video camera.
is cable includes:
● Power
● 2 HDMI out (1 used now, 1 for future support) ● 1 HDMI in (for video sharing)
● Ethernet
● 2 USB
e cable splits out nice to connect to the di erent devices from what I could see. (make sure the cable is included with the kit you get, they are not included with the basic Logitech dock kit for example)
3. THE SKYPE ROOM SYSTEM APPLICATION
Many people are hopefully surmising they will be able to download the new Windows 10 Universal App and build their own Skype Room System.
