Mezzanine joins the ScanSource line card which includes the Mezzanine 600 Series for larger conference rooms and briefing centers, and the Mezzanine 200 Series solution for smaller teams and spaces.
“End users are continuing to look for innovative UC solutions, and Mezzanine delivers a content-rich workplace collaboration experience that enables resellers to meet this growing demand,” says ScanSource KBZ senior vice president Brian Cuppett.
“We look forward to providing this content-centric conferencing solution, in addition to support, training and services for our reseller partners’ continued success.”
With this integrated offering from Cisco, Oblong, and LG, a new product bundle was developed by ScanSource for meeting experiences that elevate the role of content in collaborative work sessions.
The new product bundle brings the Cisco Webex Room Kit and Cisco Webex Room Kit Plus Collaboration Endpoints into the Oblong Mezzanine content collaboration platform and uses LG UH5C series commercial UHD displays to share information, video, graphics, and data from multiple sources at the same time.
Initially, this product bundle will be offered in two sizes mapped to Oblong’s Mezzanine 200 Series with dual LG displays for smaller team collaboration, and the Mezzanine 600 series for more immersive environments.
“The introduction of this new product bundle means that it is now easier to specify and install a state-of-the-art system for immersive visual collaboration utilizing our popular Webex Meetings and Teams platforms with Webex Room Kits to bring people together,” says Cisco director of product management Finn Helge Lunde.
LG Business Solutions vice president of digital signage Clark Brown says that visual engagement is defining the work place more and more.
“Driven by advances in display technologies, more visual and collaborative experiences are redefining today’s workplace. LG commercial displays, bundled by ScanSource with Oblong and Cisco technologies, exploit the rapid expansion of information, graphic and data, creating new ways for people to meet and collaborate,” says Clark.
“With the finest collaboration endpoints and displays combined with Mezzanine, which sets the bar for multi-screen collaboration as noted by Gartner analysts, organizations have a new and extremely engaging standard of excellence for their meeting spaces,” says Oblong Industries VP of business development Stephen Vobbe.
