Last week, we detailed Legrand’s ISE lineup. In this article, we break down all of the products the company will be showing in February at ISE. In 2020, the company is showing how its brands create full room solutions with a series of application spaces.

Stop by stand 2-C50 to take a tour and discover the latest in C2G, Chief, Da-Lite, Luxul, Middle Atlantic, Projecta and Vaddio solutions.

Medium Conference Room

The EasyIP Ecosystem is an AV-over-IP conferencing system that is easy to use and easy to install. With EasyIP, users can deliver a simple, yet professional quality BYOD (bring your own device) conferencing experience by moving videoconferencing onto a standard 1 Gb Ethernet network. EasyIP saves money because it uses video over IP, eliminating costly extenders and video switchers, and instead using Category cables and a network switch. This cost-effective solution results in faster installation times too.

Here’s a video we shot at InfoComm 2019 about EasyIP:
