Working Together to Improve Your Meeting Experiences

Extron and Lenovo

Extron is working with Lenovo to create scalable meeting solutions for modern workspaces. We are integrating room automation, audio, and signal extension capabilities with the Lenovo ThinkSmart, Microsoft Teams Rooms^®, and Zoom Rooms^™ solutions. Our partnership with Lenovo brings Extron audiovisual control capabilities to the ThinkSmart Core and ThinkSmart Hub Gen 2, providing complete AV and conferencing control across the enterprise. With this new solution, a simple tap on the Lenovo touchscreen can control call volume for the room as well as send commands that trigger automation events for display control, shades, lighting, and more.

As part of this conferencing, control, and automation ecosystem, occupancy sensors can also be added to automate system power to turn on displays when participants enter a room and turn them off when the room is empty.
