Zoom Room Appliances

Good options for small to medium size spaces with frequent need for synchronous in-person and remote gatherings. Can be moved between rooms if proper network infrastructure and displays are available.

    • Appliance bar, control surface, display(s) and mounts
  • DIY or Professional Installation
    • Can be mounted on table, display or wall.
    • Can be on a rolling cart with a single display, but the standalone solutions are often better for this application.
  • Requires 1-2 displays
    • Any display wall mounting should be done by Facilites Services or a professional installer in a DIY setup.

Recommended Options

Logitech Rally Bar and Tap touch panel

Logitech Rally Bar, Rally Bar Mini and Rally Bar Huddle

The Logitech range of Zoom Room products is our current recommendation for bar solutions, primarily because of the expansion capabilities available post-installation.

Logitech has a robust ecosystem of affordable add-on devices including microphones, cameras and other devices to expand the system if needed, and can also be integrated with professional level installed equipment.

Additionaly, Logitech has a version of the Tap touch panel that connects directly to the bar and does not require a second network drop.

Neat Bar 2, Neat Bar Pro and Neat Pad

The standard Neat Bar 2 is also a great choice for smaller rooms. The Neat Bar Pro (pictured above) is the larger version with additional camera, microphone and speaker capability. It can handle a midsized room fairly well on it's own. 

The Neat Pad (also pictured above) is a standard Zoom Room control surface. It comes bundled with the Neat Bars or can be purchased on it's own for use with other systems. It requires a second PoE enabled network drop.

HP-Poly X32, X52 and X72

Poly X52 Zoom Room bar

HP-Poly (formerly Polycom) has a range of bars and a touch pad suitable for small to medium rooms. The Poly X series and the TP10 touch panel are pictured here. Poly has a rich heritage with conferencing and RTL is using their products in some installations.
