Introduction

I remember when I bought a cell phone. It was January 2008, and I remember that if I wanted to buy a new phone, I had to have a Wi-Fi function, and I had to be able to check email, web pages and documents. At that time, the Bank of China mobile phones can not carry Wi-Fi, mobile phones with Wi-Fi function can only buy parallel imports, go to the online parallel import forum to buy or Shanghai never Night City parallel import market. At that time, I hesitated between the three phones, the black screen Curve9320, Nokia E71 and Apple iPhone.

In the Night City parallel Import Market, I played separately, and I was shocked by Apple iPhone on the spot. When I came back, together with my colleague Roger, the client who sent me to the United States for a meeting brought back two iPhone generation cars from there.

It can be said that iPhone ushered in the era of human smart phones and mobile Internet. Today, it has become commonplace for us to do many things with mobile phones, and it has gradually replaced many daily objects, such as watches, credit cards / savings cards, navigators / maps, newspapers / magazines, digital cameras / SLR, MP3/ Walkman, radio / tape recorders, game consoles, and, of course, less common ones: calculators, recorders, flashlights, alarm clocks, notebooks, etc. Even travel, air tickets and wallets have been replaced by mobile phones. It is no exaggeration to say that there is a long queue for these objects that are about to retire from the stage of history:

Isn't that right? Some people will say: can not replace the DSLR. Oh, really? How many people will carry a SLR when traveling now? On 2019-11-05, Xiaomi CC9 Pro phone was released with 100 megapixels and 50x zoom. Check it out.

Smartphones can replace all kinds of objects around you. Apart from "ecology", I think the two most important factors are "minimalism" and "All-in-One".

problem

1. Complex equipment

In modern enterprises, in order to have a video conference, you need a lens, TV, projector / screen, whiteboard / writing pen, codec, remote control, microphone, speaker / speaker, network cable, and even central control / mixer. A bunch of components, cables, switches, remote controls. It's too complicated. I just want to have a simple meeting.

2. Backwardness in technology

There are all kinds of intelligent high-tech in personal homes, such as voice control of intelligent speakers, somatosensory control of Xbox, intelligent control of temperature / humidity / light / electricity / security at home, 4K/8K intelligent TV, etc., and the video terminal in the company conference room is still an old-fashioned remote control and 1080p TV.

3. The system is closed

Video conference system, including video terminal, or a relatively closed application system, can not easily and quickly integrate and interact with the company's internal mail system, OA system, access control / attendance system, environmental control system, digital signage system, security system and other systems.

Trend

1. The screen size is getting bigger and bigger.

For a long time, in the field of enterprise conference display screen, for the comprehensive consideration of performance-to-price ratio, 55-inch display screen has been the main share. Since 2019, the cost of large-size displays has fallen again and again, 65 inches has become the basic size of enterprise conference rooms, and the share of 75-inch, 86-inch and 100-inch large-size displays has increased rapidly.

2. Capacitive touch screens are becoming more and more popular.

In the field of touch screen, infrared touch screen has been the absolute protagonist in the market in recent years, for no other reason, the price of capacitive touch screen is more than 5 times higher than that of infrared touch screen. In 2019, the cost of capacitive touch screen is falling off the cliff, and large-size capacitive touch screen is rapidly coming to the center of the mainstream market.

3. Integrated video terminals are becoming more and more popular.

Let's just take a look at the evolution of Cisco video terminals in recent years:

C20/C60/C90 series, SX20/SX80 series: split video terminal, codec, remote control and other components independent, without lens, display screen

Room Kit Mini, Room Kit, Room Kit Plus, Room Kit Pro: split video terminal, integrated codec, lens, touch screen, etc., without display screen

Room 55x55D, Room 70G2Universe 70D G2, Room Panorama: integrated Video Terminal (All-in-one)

Webex Borad, Webex Desk Pro: integrated video terminal (All-in-one), including touch control, electronic whiteboard, voice assistant, AI intelligence

Summary

In short, judging from the development trend of smartphones and the product iterations of Cisco video terminals in the past two years, it is conceivable that there will be only one mainstream form of video terminals in enterprise conference rooms in the future: conference tablets.

Including: large size, capacitive touch control, wireless sharing, multi-party annotation, voice / somatosensory control, various AI functions, various environmental controls, integrated and interactive conference panels of various office systems:

1. Large size: 75 inches start, 86 inches become the mainstream

2. Electronic whiteboard: touch, writing, multi-person annotation, collaborative creation, wireless screen

3. AI blessing: best perspective, speaker tracking, headcount, name / position tagging, face recognition, insensitive check-in, meeting minutes, real-time subtitles, bilingual translation subtitles

4. Environmental control: lights, access control, curtains, security and other linkage and intelligent control

5. Overall conference system: conference house number, meeting tablet, meeting reservation / release / management / live broadcast / recording system, integration and linkage of various systems

I imagine that, as described in "Black Mirror" or "three-body", the whole wall of every office room in the future will be an AI intelligent conference terminal.

Our company has also released a conference tablet, ha. If you are interested, you can also learn about it.
