Open Flexible Space

The wheel-stand model of the all-in-one Board Pro G2 features a fixed height that is optimized for the right camera point of view and ergonomics—either when looking at the device from a distance or interacting with the touch display. The wide horizontal field of view of the camera system allows to capture people standing by the device while also framing people located further from the board.

To avoid capturing and framing passers-by in an open environment, we recommend activating the meeting zone feature on the device to establish the desired virtual perimeters of the space and remove unwanted distraction from video meetings.

Address privacy concerns in an open floor plan environment by using soundproofing partitions, noise-dampening and visual barriers. In addition, we recommend enhancing the audio experience with an acoustically absorbing suspended ceiling panel, porous, acoustical wall panels on adjoining walls, and decorative elements such as wooden batten patterns. To dampen the sound of footsteps and moving chairs, we recommend carpeting on the floor.

The video system features an internal microphone array optimized to capture voices up to 4 meters (13 ft) from the device using beamforming technology. If the space is larger or features suboptimal acoustic conditions, consider extending the pickup range with external Cisco microphones.

This space is built for an adaptable room configuration allowing for ad-hoc brainstorming session, social gatherings, and agile teamwork. The space layout ensures everyone can be seen and heard, while allowing ample space for people to move within the room. Featuring a mobile wheel-stand, the device supports divisible and adaptable room layouts as well as other flexible configurations.

High-quality furniture is essential for a successful meeting experience. For seating, we recommend casual lounge chairs or other agile furniture with fabric finishes to enhance comfort and acoustic quality. The soft seat is lightweight and highly flexible, allowing the space to adapt to all needs. The space can be deployed as an enclosed room, a semi-enclosed collaboration space as well as in the open floor plan.

To ensure meeting participants look their best, they should be lit from the front (fill light), top (key light), and back (backlight). For optimal visibility, eye contact, subject highlighting, and scene depth, use glare-free luminaries with a beam angle of 90°or wider to evenly distribute light throughout the room.

We recommend using a light intensity of 400-500 lux, measured vertically, to clearly capture facial features, and 700-900 lux for optimal brightness on horizontal work surfaces. Room lighting should be even, and a light color temperature of 4000 K is generally suitable for most scenarios. For accurate color representation of skin tones and interiors, use a color rendering index (CRI) of 85 or better.
