Extron is working with Lenovo to create scalable meeting solutions for modern workplaces. It aims to integrate room automation, audio and signal extension capabilities with the Lenovo ThinkSmart, Microsoft Teams Rooms and Zoom Rooms solutions.

The partnership with Lenovo brings Extron AV capabilities and conferencing control across the entire enterprise. This latest addition, a simple tap on the ThinkSmart Hub screen can control call volume for the room as well as send commands that trigger automation events for display control, shades, lighting and more.

“Extron is excited to work with Lenovo to leverage our many years of control experience into their ThinkSmart Rooms systems,” Extron vice president of worldwide sales and marketing Casey Hall says.

“By incorporating AV control and automation into a single user interface, Extron and Lenovo are enhancing the conferencing and collaboration experience for all of our customers.”

Lenovo WW smart office business group general manager Joseph Mingori embraces the partnership: “Leveraging decades of Extron’s control system experience, we’ve assembled a scalable and simple smart office technology. By working with technology leaders like Extron, Lenovo continues to transform communications – empowering end-users and enabling closer collaboration around the world.”

Occupancy sensors can also be added to the system which automates system power to turn on displays when participants enter a room and turn them off when the room is empty.
