How to Make Your Conference Room Hands-Free

Wherever the “new normal” is heading, businesses of all kinds are going contactless. Restaurants have started curbside pickups with online payments and QR code menus. Meanwhile, most offices shifted to work-from-home, with video calls and Slack messages in the place of in-person meetings.

But not all jobs can be done remotely, and many people are aching to get out of their houses. As we return to our offices, we need to think of new ways to use technology effectively and safely.

That’s where touchless AV comes into play. Read on to learn how a touchless meeting room will work in your Dallas, TX office.

How to Make Your Hotel the Business Destination in Dallas

When businessmen and women touch down in Dallas with briefcases and laptops, will they be heading to your hotel? 

Not if your conference rooms haven’t been updated in many years. After all, a lot has changed in the business world in the past few years, and if your meeting rooms are outdated, you’ll need updated AV that can support hybrid meetings. 

With the right tools in your meeting rooms, local and faraway businesses will likely choose your hotel for their next trips and conferences. And if the conferencing experience exceeds their expectations, they may even book your hotel every time they’re in town. 

Read on to see what hotel AV you need to succeed in the modern business world. And to upgrade your Texas hotel’s AV, contact Texadia Systems to get started today.

Whether you run a design agency or a legal firm, most contemporary offices require a video conferencing system. As we collaborate with professionals across the country and globe, there needs to be an efficient, streamlined way to share presentations, pitch ideas, and educate each other. And with more people working remotely than ever, the need for great conferencing technology is only increasing.

Make the Smartest Choices for Your Dallas Business 

CapEx and OpEx—what is the difference? Well, that distinction can make quite an impact on your business’s taxes. 

Capital expenditure (CapEx) are funds your business uses to acquire, upgrade, and maintain physical assets, which could include updating property, landscaping, technology, or equipment. Operational expenditures (OpEx), however, are non-investment purchases that are related to recurring daily operations. For example, OpEx could cover rent, payroll, office supplies, marketing expenses, or transportation. 

So how does a business decide where to allocate CapEx funds? If you’re reading this article, you may be trying to decide if technology upgrades will be effective and financially feasible. In this article, we share how Dallas, TX businesses can use their CapEx funds more effectively.

How the Right Microphone and Room Acoustics Can Improve Meetings

“I’m sorry, what was that?”

“Could you repeat that last part?”

No one wants to hear these comments during an important client call—and especially not more than once. Miscommunication, confusion, and stalled meetings occur when your conferencing technology is not up to par. Just as it’s crucial to use a secure network and high-quality webcam, you also need a microphone that records every voice for virtual calls.

In our conferencing experience center near Dallas, TX, we use ceiling microphones to demonstrate high-end business solutions. With ceiling microphones, you won’t have to take up space on the table with a clutter of wires and can ensure every voice is heard. Could your business benefit from one? Learn more to find out.

COLLABORATE ACROSS IN-PERSON & REMOTE TEAMS 

If your company practices hybrid work, it’s more crucial than ever to set up a successful communication system in collaboration spaces. Without an effective way to collaborate, people can start to feel siloed, and important information can fall through the cracks. 

To create functional collaboration spaces, partnering with an AV specialist, like Texadia Systems in Dallas, TX, is a smart investment. An AV specialist’s expertise in installing and programming conferencing software and hardware ensures a simple, easy-to-use system that meets all your needs.

Simplify Video Calls with a Tap of a Button 

Since 1981, Logitech has been one of the world’s biggest names in computer hardware and software. In fact, we’re willing to bet you’ve used or owned Logitech’s products before—perhaps their computer mice, keyboards, computer speakers, remote controls or webcams. 

Today, the Swiss company continues to produce the highest-quality equipment while adapting to modern needs. As hybrid video meetings have become increasingly popular, Logitech has evolved too, building conferencing hardware that simplifies the hybrid meeting process.

Logitech’s Tap meeting room controller integrates audio and video to your preferred meeting software, whether that’s Zoom, Microsoft Teams, RingCentral, or Google Meet. It also offers hardware bundles to suit small, medium, and large spaces, so everyone is heard and seen clearly.

Here’s how Logitech’s conference room technology can help your business thrive. And to have conference room technology installed in your Fort Worth or Dallas, TX offices, contact Texadia Systems to learn more about our services.  

Hybrid Meetings & Presentations Don’t Have to Be a Headache 

It’s a problem plaguing offices nationwide: ghost conference rooms. As hybrid work grows in popularity and we rely more heavily on technology, many businesses find it easier to join meetings individually online. With half the staff working hybrid and half in the office, conference rooms are left unused. 

But in-person meetings still offer incredible benefits. In the office, people are more likely to voice their opinions, open up, and find solutions they may not have otherwise. Your office’s conference rooms don’t have to go unused—you may just need to make your systems more user-friendly. 

Here’s how you can improve the meeting experience with more strategic conference room audio-video. And if your business is in the Frisco, TX, area, contact Texadia Systems to install these solutions today. 

Simplify Your Return to the Office with Touchless Technology & AV as a Service 

While the world and technology evolve at rapid speeds, we want to help businesses stay flexible. And as the past year’s events proved, it pays to be adaptable. Companies that we're able to shift their processes quickly at the start of the pandemic were the ones who landed on their feet. 

And what could be more flexible than an AV as a Service plan? Rather than invest in new conferencing hardware, software, screens, speakers, and installations, you’ll be subscribed to a monthly service that includes upgrades at any time. Plus, your staff will feel more comfortable and safer with contactless AV.

Upgrade Your Teleconferences with a More Personal & Engaging Solution 

For decades, business teams have joined calls over conference phones, dialing in to meet with clients or other office locations. But is it time for your company to upgrade to a video conferencing system? 

With an HD display, camera, microphone, and software system that connects it all, you’ll be able to see your call participants, and they’ll see your entire team. We install and program video conferencing systems across the Dallas/Fort Worth TX area, and have seen how the technology benefits our commercial clients. When you upgrade, you can expect the following results. 

As organizations embrace modern AV design, many are moving away from outdated analog cabling in favor of digital audio networks that deliver far greater scalability and flexibility. In this article, we’ll be comparing Dante & AVB network solutions to help IT decision-makers and AV managers select the right system for conference rooms, boardrooms, and multi-room deployments. We’ll define each protocol, share real-world use cases, and highlight how audio networking standards shape today’s enterprise environments.

Why Shift to Networked Audio?

Traditional point‑to‑point wiring for AV installations imposes limits on room layout, cable length, and scalability. In contrast, an audio networking infrastructure leverages standard Ethernet switches and VLANs to transport hundreds of channels over a single cable. Beyond reducing rack space and cable clutter, this approach accelerates deployment and simplifies maintenance, especially in buildings with existing IP networks.

The Basics – Dante and AVB

Businesses have two leading options when it comes to IP-based audio: Audinate’s Dante and the IEEE’s AVB tool suite. Each protocol routes audio over Ethernet, but they differ in governance, certification requirements, and ecosystem adoption.

Consumer Products Won’t Cut It For Your Business

Bring Flexibility to Your Conference Rooms with BYOM 

In the new landscape of hybrid work, conferencing setups like Zoom Rooms and Teams Rooms are bridging the gap between remote and in-person meetings. Now, the entire conference table can participate in virtual discussions, seeing and hearing their remote colleagues while being captured on a wide-angle camera and HD microphones.

Incompatible conferencing software has been a head-scratcher for all businesses. But now, there’s a new solution. Using “BYOM” (bring your own meeting) techniques, your  conference room technology lets meetings be ‘agnostic’ about which platform to use over conferencing hardware.

Inspire Your Team to Focus & Maintain Privacy with Sound Masking

We often discuss how smart technology makes meetings more collaborative. But what about those blocks of time when you need to put your head down and focus on work or conduct an important call with minimal distraction?

Whether your office is crunching numbers or designing graphics, any Dallas business can benefit from sound masking technology. Curious about what sound masking does and how it works? Read on to see why your Texas office space will thrive with sound masking technology.

Here’s How Acoustic Treatments Can Help 

When you’re on a call in the conference room, are you embarrassed by the sound of you and your team’s voices echoing around the room? If you try to conduct video meetings and calls in an echoing room, everyone participating has to strain to hear you through the distracting sound. Recording audio in such a room is a nightmare, and even high-end microphones don’t stand a chance against echo.

That’s no good! Echoing conference rooms are a common problem in many Texas offices, especially in newly built or purchased spaces.

If your Dallas/Fort Worth conference room is echoing, you would benefit from acoustic treatments. We explain what acoustic treatments are and how they work in the article below. And if you’re looking for professional acoustic treatments for your business, contact our team of AV professionals.
