As the BYOD (bring your own device) movement continues to gain momentum across industries and verticals, AV integrators and IT professionals will need to address support and security challenges while embracing the inevitable.<\/p>\n<p>However, legacy conferencing solutions aren\u2019t built to easily connect to an employee\u2019s own laptop or tablet that is running a cloud-based web or video conferencing application. The end result is a painless process every time you want to get the meeting started. Microsoft <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=OaheL8lD8i4\">VP Gurdeep Singh Pall recently said<\/a> it takes an average of 13 minutes to set up a video call. These kinds of technical difficulties are not only annoying to participants, but they reflect on your company\u2019s standards and capabilities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>New solutions for new expectations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>AV integrators and IT professionals are busy trying to determine how best to accommodate demands for blending consumer-based experiences with the advanced capabilities and convenience of business-class applications. Fortunately, there are now conference room solutions that support BYOD. These solutions can streamline common challenges like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Difficulty connecting to meetings<\/li>\n<li>Desire to use personal devices for collaboration<\/li>\n<li>Differences in connectivity capabilities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>New solutions are fundamentally changing the landscape of collaboration. For example, products like QSC\u2019s TSC-7t Tabletop Touchscreen Dialer and Q-SYS Core 110f enable easy audio conference meetings for your end user by allowing them to use their own devices as the host for conference calls with GoToMeeting, WebEx, Skype for Business, or other soft codecs.<\/p>\n<p>USB inputs on both TSC-7t and Core 110f provides an easy, intuitive user interface to pair your laptop or in-rack PC audio I\/Os with the Q-SYS in-room audio solution. You gain the benefit of leveraging the multiple microphones in the room, each with its own dedicated AEC channel, as well as the amplified speaker system provided by the new SPA series amplifiers and quality speakers.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about these new BYOD-friendly solutions, read about QSC\u2019s new <a href=\"http:\/\/www.qsys.com\/systems\/products\/q-sys\/q-sys-cores\/core-110f\/\">Q-SYS Core 110f<\/a> as well as our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.qsys.com\/systems\/products\/q-sys\/network-touch-screen-controller-peripherals\/\">new TSC-7t conferencing tabletop touchscreen<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello, is this thing on?
