Logitech Debuts 65” Collaboration Board Dubbed Rally Board 65; Includes Presence Sensing and Environmental Data
Logitech entered the Collaboration Board market today with the Rally Board 65, an all-in-one portable videoconference solution that combines camera, mics and speakers with a 65” touch screen display. Rally Board 65 is capable of being mounted on a rolling cart and includes everything any other collaboration board has but also has AI-powered features like occupancy and environmental detection.
A cool feature is that you can start up the Rally Board 65 in either Android, PC or BYOD mode, whether teams use Microsoft Teams, Zoom or Google Meet. Then roll Rally Board 65 on a cart into an open space and flip the device 180 degrees to orient the camera at eye level, or install it in a meeting room with the camera above or below the screen.
Natively 4K, Rally Board 65 includes AI-powered RightSight 2 and RightSound 2 as well as Camera Zone, which limits visual framing and also Mic Zone, which minimizes sound pickup within a designated area (aka: audio fencing). The new Depth Blur technique obscures surroundings (like a DSLR camera does in videoconferencing),
Sensors within Rally Board 65 detect the presence of people so that IT teams can get data on how and when employees are using video spaces. These sensors also analyze environmental data like humidity, temperature, and CO2 levels, assign a room health and later, will provide a room energy score, then deliver recommendations to increase ventilation, take breaks, or reduce the number of seats in a room. Insights are fed into Logitech Sync, a centralized platform for IT teams to get a view of their organization, drill down for details on specific room performance, and automatically book and release rooms.
Rally Board 65 was engineered to minimize its environmental impact, using up to 41% next-life plastics, low-carbon aluminum, recycled fabrics, and FSC-certified packaging. Rally Board 65 includes the ability to automatically switch to a lower power state when no one is in the space and it will be available beginning May 2025 for $6,999.
