Transcript of Array Telepresence & Equal-i Technology - An Overview
Array Overview for Enterprise Collaboration Leaders
What We Do
Dual Screen Immersive Telepresence
The Basics
The $15,990 Equal-i advanced imaging system replaces the Pan-Tilt-Zoom camera that comes with most videoconferencing systems
The DX Camera plugs into the 2S Image Processor which plugs into the videoconferencing codec as a camera
The 2S Image Processor also sits between the codec and the displays so it can improve both the scene being sent and the scene being received
Equal-i turns Any VC Room Into an Immersive Environment
Equal-i View: Dual- Displays Using A Single
Codec
Traditional PTZ View: Same Scene Without Equal-i
CREATES AN Equal-i ZATION OF IMAGES
The biggest challenges of group videoconferencing systems – the elongated table, visible cameras, poor eye-line and small heads with
indecipherable features– are remedied Equal-i!
Improvements: 6.5xs more pixels on farthest person, camera concealed for better meeting psychology, eye-line improved to perfect vertical, farthest person Equal-i-zed” to the size of closest, everyone improved to roughly life-size, format improved to a more “across-the-table” experience, and a single codec populating dual-screens to create a more immersive experience
Revolutionary Capabilities – Immersive Everywhere
Immersive Everywhere is Array’s revolutionary capability to send our dual-screen, immersive telepresence view to dual-screen videoconferencing systems that don’t yet have Equal-i Technology.
Your executives, subject matter experts, and brand look better when conferencing with partners and customers!
• Immersive Everywhere requires a videoconferencing codec with a 1080p/30 data channel OR a dual stream videoconferencing codec (Polycom 500/700 Series, Cisco SX 20/80, etc)
• The 1080p data channel is used to send the 2nd screen of video• Participants can easily switch back-and-forth between dual
screen immersive telepresence and Video+Content for data collaboration.
• Equal-i can simultaneously send a better view using Immersive Everywhere while improving the incoming scene using Immersive PTZ
Revolutionary Capabilities - Video+Content
• Video+Content – Use the Array tablet app or Crestron/AMX Control to switch between immersive telepresence on both screens to our proprietary single-screen view which is still way better than a PTZ and content/data on the 2nd
display. This is also the scene used to improve calls with MCUs, Video Meeting Rooms, and desktop videoconferencing apps like Skype4Business and Zoom.
Revolutionary Capabilities – Immersive PTZ
Standard Incoming PTZ View Improved Equal-i View – Centered & Spread Across Dual Displays
When the remote site only has a PTZ , the Equal-i system can improve the incoming video & light up the 2nd screen• Farthest participants brought “Up Close and Personal”, centered & spread across 2 displays• Partial Equalization so participants are more equal in size• Improved Meeting Format to more “Across the Table” feel• Better, more immersive experience for local participants • Equal-i can simultaneously send a better view using Immersive Everywhere while improving the incoming scene
using Immersive PTZ
The industry’s only bi-directional image improvement solution
What if the Other Side Doesn’t Have Equal-i?
They Still Get a Way Better Experience!
Two options to send to non-Equal-i sites:
• Immersive Everywhere – If the remotesite is equipped with dual displays and avideoconferencing codec with a 25/30 fpsdata channel.
• Video+Content – Array’s proprietarysingle screen view for improvingconferences with a single or dual-screenvideoconferencing system, going throughan MCU, or when connecting to desktopvideoconferencing e.g Ubiety, Skype4B,Zoom, Vidyoway, BlueJeans, Spark, VaaS-Tetc
The Big Idea: Array’s Equal-i technology is the biggest improvement to the quality of group videoconferencing since high-definition video and life-size immersive telepresence each revolutionized the industry in similar ways.
Array’s Equal-i technology allows organizations to:• Improve how executives/subject matter experts and the firm’s
“Brand” come across when conferencing with partners, vendors, clients, analysts, and media.
• Dramatically improve the quality of their existing systems without any changes to codecs, video network infrastructure, or network bandwidth.
• Cost-effectively upgrade dozens or hundreds of rooms at relatively low-cost compared with existing multi-screen, multi-codec offerings.
• Improve the scene their executives are receiving to dual-screen immersive so facial features and body language are apparent
The Big Idea Customer Benefits
No one looks good with a tiny head!
Array provides reputational benefits improving how a company’s “Brand” and
executives come across on video while simultaneously making the far-side
participant’s facial expressions and body language more visible which is often the
most important “data” being shared in a call.

Part Number: AEDX-P10MSRP Pricing:
• US$15,990 (with Equal-i Image Processor)
2S Image Processor (IP)
Equal-i System Control
Integrated Control Systems OR
Equal-i integrates with existing control systems
• Crestron & AMX modules available now
• Full published API’s in the Installation Guide
One Extra Step: Tell system what scene to send at setup:
Dual-screen Immersive OR single-screen: Video+Content
But Extra Features: Switch back-and-forth between dual-screen Immersive Everywhere and single-screen Video+Content in a call.
Stand-Alone Control
Multi-platform: Windows and Android Now, iOS Coming Soon
The New and Natural “Industry Standard” for Immersive Telepresence is Dual-ScreensMost modern codecs are dual-screen systems or dual-screen capable with 1080p data channels which enable Array’s Immersive Everywhere capability to send a dual-screen immersive scene
• Most board rooms and conference rooms support dual-screen configurations much easier architecturally than the “split-table” approach of existing 3 screen immersive solutions
• Most existing dual-screen systems are capable of receiving Array’s Immersive Everywhere immersive, dual-screen scene
A 25% Array Deployment Improves Quality/Experience Across an Entire Video Estate
Because Equal-i is improving both the scene you send and the scene you receive you can lift the experience of an entire video estate by deploying Equal-i to the top 25%-35% of the most used rooms. While Equal-i is an end-point solution it should more appropriately be budgeted similarly to video infrastructureNote: All rooms that are connecting with partners or clients would need to have an Equal-i system for Immersive Everywhere.
“Because an Equal-i deployment in the top 25% of an organization’s
video rooms will improve the quality-of-experience across the
entire video estate the true cost of the solution per room isn’t $15,990
but averages $3997 per room!”
