Available as a table-top or wall-mounted, the Modero Series offers a wide range of panel sizes and price points through their two lines of control panels, the Modero X line and the Modero S line. The Modero X panels easily integrate new features into the touch panels by adding new apps, just as you would with a mobile phone or tablet, to allow users to video conference, view documents and calendars, browse the web or check the weather. The Modero S panels includes advances features that let users operate AV equipment simply and effectively with an intuitive, gesture-based interface, making it ideal for conference rooms, classrooms and small huddle spaces.
