Confidea FLEX Mike
Confidea FLEX Mike is Televic’s all-in-one tabletop conference unit with an integrated 5.2” touch screen with fingerprint coating. It combines a slim, non-intrusive, contemporary design offering extended functionality with effortless ease of use.The Confidea FLEX Mike was designed to offer one solution that meets different user needs. Using the Plixus web server, you can easily configure the unit as chairperson, delegate or unit for double use. Or even unlock additional functionality over time.
Furthermore, functionality can be unlocked based on licenses. This means that over time customers can unlock extra functionality without the need to re-invest in new hardware.
The current license model contains four different options: Voting - Identification - Interpretation - Dual Use.
Advanced Participant Interaction
As chairperson, you can control different aspects of the meeting, simply using the intuitive display on the Confidea unit. It lets you start, pause meeting, and even record the meeting. Easily start and stop voting sessions, and even move to another agenda topic without the need of a computer.
As delegate you are welcomed to the meeting, you can see which agenda item is being discussed or see how much speech time you have left. You can even see who is currently speaking and your place in the request list.
During voting sessions, you can cast your vote and get a view on the voting results. Tactile feedback will be given when your vote is registered be means of vibration.
This unit is also equipped with an NFC card reader for identification. This is ideal for meetings with a free seating policy: the system can keep track of who is seated where.
Accessibility
As the unit uses a touchscreen, special attention has been given to visual impaired users. Tactile references are spread over the length of the screen. Functions like language selection and voting have been designed in such way that controls are mapped on the tactile references. Volume controls received a different layout of tactile reference.
Easily Integrated in the Plixus Architecture
The units interconnect in daisy chain over Cat 5e Plixus® network cabling, as all other types of units. The RJ45 connectors are hidden in the base of the unit and facing downwards guiding the cables easily into the cable entry so no cables are visible on the conference table for fixed setups. For mobile setups a cable entry is part of the unit’s design.
The units can be cabled in loop so meetings can proceed in the event a cable or a unit gets defective. What’s more, the hotswap functionality of the Plixus system reduces the downtime of a unit since it is easily replaceable with a spare unit, even during an active meeting.
Finally, the units benefit from Plixus’s audio processing capabilities. The result is a warm and natural sound that makes listening much more comfortable.
