Extron is, through its new partnership with Poly, developing new, scalable integration options for Extron control systems, audio devices and signal switching for Poly room, Microsoft Teams Rooms and Zoom Rooms solutions.

Together, the two companies are poised to deliver complete AV and conferencing control across the enterprise.

As one of the first developments, a tap on the Poly GC8 touch panel can manage the meeting experience as well as send commands that trigger automation events for display power, shades, lighting and more.

“We are proud to be the recognised standard room control and room automation partner for Poly,” Extron vice president of worldwide sales and marketing Casey Hall says.

“With this new partnership, our mutual customers will be able to leverage a broad range of Extron audio, video and control products with both Microsoft and Zoom.”

As part of this conferencing, control and automation ecosystem, Extron also offers a hands-free option using occupancy sensors to turn on displays when participants enter a room and turn them off when the room is empty.
