Wedemark, June 7, 2021 – Today’s businesses are ever more reliant on video conferencing, and although the technology has been a true blessing during the pandemic, many participants feel that the whole experience could be a little more natural. In a joint online seminar, Sennheiser and QSC show how interactive technology can help to reduce the perception of distance and increase engagement from remote participants, and the important role that Microphone-Based Camera Steering can play in achieving this. Visit www.sennheiser.com/followme to register and learn more about the combined solution that brings together Sennheiser’s touchless TeamConnect Ceiling 2 microphone and the QSC Q-SYS Ecosystem to make video conferences more natural and dynamic. The AVIXA-certified seminars are available in English and German through June and July. In addition, private demonstrations are possible too.

Two team players to build the optimal audio design for meeting rooms
​Both the Q-SYS Ecosystem and TeamConnect Ceiling 2 are IT-friendly solutions that work together seamlessly. Q-SYS is a software-based audio, video and control platform that is scalable, reduces the need for dedicated hardware and eliminates complex integration workarounds.
​Sennheiser’s TeamConnect Ceiling 2 is ideal for conferencing and – thanks to its new TruVoicelift feature – for in-room audio amplification, too.

To make virtual meetings even more lifelike, Sennheiser and QSC recommend the Automatic Camera Preset Recall plugin, available for download in Q-SYS Designer Asset Manager within Q-SYS Designer Software. It enlists the TeamConnect Ceiling 2 (TCC2) to deliver signal presence and positioning data from the active talker and in turn, automatically switches the video stream to the appropriate camera in the room and triggers specific camera position presets, resulting in more natural interaction and dialogue for diverse spaces.

Furthermore, Q-SYS allows the plugin to take full advantage of multiple Q-SYS cameras and multiple TCC2 microphones in the room to accommodate even more complex spaces. Lastly, since the camera movement is triggered solely by the presence of the audio signal, the system also offers privacy/security advantages over other solutions that rely on facial or other physical tags. This way, no personal data is collected.
