The “Big Ideas” for Revolutionizing Videoconferencing Quality

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 by 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 – Equal-i’s proprietary single-screen view (which is still way better than a PTZ camera) allows you to share 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. Switch back-and-forth between dual-screen immersive and Video+Content during a call.

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 solution that improves the incoming video

The Biggest Competitive Differentiator in VTC If you had a trade show booth with 10 displays showing the same scene from 10 different codecs most people would be hard pressed to tell the difference much less pick “The Best”.

Add 2 additional displays showing Array and 100 out of 100 people will choose it as “The Best”: Dual-screen, life-size images, perfect vertical eye-line, concealed camera, etc.

• Opportunity to differentiate your firm and demonstrate technology prowess!

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

• In the short term the cheapest way to “buy pixels” and achieve a large format display that brings in the eye’s peripheral vision (One of the brain’s primary cues of immersion) is rapidly commodifying 65 inch – 90+ inch dual-displays.

• Dual-displays allow us to conceal the camera at perfect vertical eye-line as well The Trend is our Friend! – Bigger and cheaper

displays means that our dual-display approach is the most cost-effective way to “buy pixels” for both immersion and better data collaboration!

The Best Positioned Camera on the Planet. Period.

Array’s DX Camera is the only videoconferencing camera designed to capture from the absolutely, positively best position in the room for group meetings

• Perfect vertical eye-line • Psychological studies have shown that people with good

eye-contact are perceived to be more warm, personable, attractive, likeable, qualified, skilled, competent, valuable, trustworthy, honest, sincere, confident, powerful, and emotionally stable.

• Camera concealed by the bezel• Better meeting psychology, more comfortable participants

• Stand up capture enabled• No one’s head is cut-off entering/leaving the scene

The Big Idea: Array’s Equal-i technology is the biggest improvement to the quality of group videoconferencing an organization can make cost-effectively

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 your 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 your 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.

Array is Poised for Viral Growth – Every Call an Advertisement!One of the leading videoconferencing trends is inter-company videoconferencing. More and more enterprises are connecting with their partners and clients

Array’s enterprise customers are poised to begin connecting with their partners and clients pushing out a dramatically-better, unique experience!

The answer to: “WOW! How are you doing that??” is:

“Array Telepresence!”

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-ito 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 infrastructure

Note: 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!”
