Conference rooms today consist of more than just a table and chairs. With the ever-changing digital world, there are countless tools companies can implement to optimize meeting efficiency and company productivity. Immersive conference rooms allow blank walls to come to life with meeting materials, remote attendees, monthly reports and more, ensuring the valuable time spent together is collaborative and productive. Panasonic Connect is an industry front-runner in building these immersive spaces, with decades of expertise and deep sector knowledge, creating customized AV tech solutions that fit a plethora of spaces.
This article examines the benefits immersive conference rooms bring to meetings, explores the reasons immersive projection is the next valuable asset and discusses key elements to consider when building your immersive conference room.
Immersive AV Tech Enhances Collaboration
When the content of your meeting fills your entire environment, everyone has a front row seat. Distractions decrease, engagement increases, and the meeting becomes more effective. With projection, enhanced engagement leads to greater collaboration, creativity and productivity. Less time is wasted between presenters and topics as information is seamlessly shared all at once. When all your attendees share the same vision, it's easy for everyone to stay on the same page.
The Power of Projection
When looking at the variety of conference room tools and gadgets, projection technology stands out among the rest. The immersive environment created by projection technology is a gateway to new perspectives and shared concepts, furthering innovative thinking.
The ability to display 360-degree content with sharp, detailed, and vibrant images creates abundant possibilities when crafting your meeting experience. Immersive projection allows everyone to read and digest the displayed content, resulting in greater understanding and less eye strain. With many tools available to enhance conference rooms and productivity, projection technology provides a customizable, reliable, and efficient solution. There is no one-room solution that fits all — with projection technology, there is an abundance of customizable options to fit a company’s needs and budget.
A Customizable Solution that Meet Your Needs
The PT-RQ7 4K 1-Chip DLP™ Projector and the PT-MZ882 Series LCD Projectors offer companies a breadth of options to create an immersive conference room that meets their desired projector, technical and budgetary needs
AV Tech for a Variety of Spaces
With lumens ranging from 6,500 to 8,200 and resolution choices of 4K or WUXGA depending on the series, there is a solution for spaces large or small.
Immersive experiences that wrap an entire area with engaging visuals are becoming widespread, from theme parks to museums, to education and corporate environments. To address the production complexities these experiences can present, the new PT-RQ7 Series 1-Chip DLP™ 4K projector was developed to provide more choices. Offering brightness up to 7,500lm, the PT-RQ7 Series projector produces high-definition 4K visuals, while offering reliable and efficient workflows. The PT-RQ7 Series 1-Chip DLP™ 4K projector offers a compact lightweight design that reduces the logistical burden and carbon footprint, without sacrificing image quality or clarity.
With brightness up to 8,200lm, the PT-MZ882 LCD Series offers whisper quiet 27dB operation and compatibility with a wide variety of lenses, resulting in discrete operation. Minimizing waste through a reduction in packaging and related accessories, the PT-MZ882 Series is an ideal choice for sustainability-minded organizations. The Series introduces energy-saving innovations, while delivering outstanding image quality with well-balanced brightness and exceptional color, offering a solution to fit a variety of spaces.
Both the PT-RQ7 and PT-MZ882 Series offer a choice of black or white chassis, allowing the projectors to blend into their environment to minimize distractions while providing powerful content.
Clear and Rich Color Quality
Immersive spaces require clear, detailed, and sharp images, no matter the size of the room. Images must be vibrant with dynamic contrast to successfully transform your environment and immerse attendees.
The PT-RQ7 delivers enhanced image quality with our Quad Pixel Drive technology. Content is projected with higher pixel density, ensuring smooth and detailed visuals across different settings. In the PT-MZ882 Series, brightness and color are well balanced with a high dynamic contrast ratio of 3,000,000:1 and smooth detail definition.
By emphasizing image quality, the wall-to-wall environment our projectors create is totally immersive. From meeting notes to conference videos, audiences will remain captivated while absorbing information with ease.
Reliable and Sustainable
On the quest to improve efficiency, the first step is a strong, trusting partnership between you and the technology you implement. Even the slightest technical difficulty can disrupt the flow and productivity of a meeting — and it will certainly disrupt audience immersion.
The PT-RQ7 contains a multi-laser drive engine and backup input to maintain image display in the event of trouble, securing a reliable, uninterrupted meeting experience.
The PT-MZ882 Series places strong emphasis on sustainability with its Multi Laser Drive Engine and ECO Filter to reduce maintenance and waste and underscore the projector’s long-life reliability. It adopts recycled plastic and uses the same power consumption as previous models while producing higher brightness. It also saves additional energy with the enhanced Auto Power On function.
Ease of Installation and Low Maintenance
Installing and maintaining your AV tech can take a chunk out of your time and budget. With that in mind, we've designed our products to be simple to install and reliable to operate. Our projectors require nothing more than a ceiling mount and four screws to install. The PT-RQ7 contains a filter-less design to enable maintenance-free operation for 20,000 hours. Ease of installation paired with minimal maintenance results in more time spent in meetings and completing tasks.
Panasonic Connect’s Recommended Set Up
For the optimal immersive conference room, we recommend several projectors mounted on the ceiling for the best, unobtrusive experience. This creates a rich immersive experience for all attendees, transforming their surroundings to fulfill the needs of every meeting.
The Takeaway on Corporate AV Tech
Immersive conference rooms take team engagement and collaboration to the next level. The ability to shift ideas from a laptop to the walls of a conference room generates endless possibilities as it allows everyone to see new perspectives. Immersive conference rooms are pioneering group collaboration and productivity in ways that must not be overlooked as companies invest in AV tools.
