ClearOne's CONVERGE USB, a recent addition to RGB Communications' pro AV distribution portfolio, has been designed to more easily bring high-quality audio from UC applications running on desktops or laptops into a ClearOne pro audio environment.
"It may be a small box but, the CONVERGE USB is a pro audio solution that provides secure plug and play USB connectivity for UC applications such as Microsoft Lync, Skype, Google+ Hangouts, IBM Sametime and Cisco WebEx, running on both Microsoft and Apple desktops and laptops," said Gordon Innocent, RGB's Chairman.
Following a simple upgrade the CONVERGE USB can be retro-fitted to any installed CONVERGE system and also connects with ClearOne's range of COLLABORATE desktop and room video conferencing solutions.
The CONVERGE USB can also serve as an E-bus extender as each unit can relay the signal for another 60 metres without degradation.
"The CONVERGE USB means that when you want to share audio, from a desktop or laptop, in a conference room you no longer have to resort to the rather clunky method of using your headset ports and then having to fiddle with audio levels," added Innocent.
"Now you can simply plug in the CONVERGE USB and because the audio stays in the digital domain you have access to the highest quality pro AV audio."
