SPEAKER 1: Hi.
Today, I'd like to break down for you the Google
Meet Series 1 Room Kit that Google developed in partnership
with Lenovo.
The Series 1 Room Kits bring together people
over video in high fidelity and high definition
so they can work together like they were all in the same room.
This is an important product right now because organizations
are preparing to head back into the office
and embrace hybrid work.
This creates the need to build out
more video-enabled conference rooms so people in the office
can connect face-to-face with their customers, partners,
and colleagues working remotely like they
were all in the same room.
With high-quality components like the Smart Audio Bar, Smart
Camera, Touch Controller and more,
Series 1 Room Kits help meetings not only fit your room layouts,
but they'll feel more immersive than ever before.
Today, we're unboxing the Series 1 Room Kit
from Google and Lenovo.
We'll also learn why it's unique and how easy it is to set up.
But first, let's see how Series 1 Room Kits fit into the Google
Meet Series 1 family.
Series 1 is a family of video conferencing devices created
by Google and their partners with a focus on giving everyone
an equal seat at the table.
This is the idea that everyone would
be able to create, connect, and collaborate equally
from anywhere.
Let's go ahead and see what's inside the box for the Google
Meet Series 1 Room Kit by Lenovo.
First up is the Smart Audio Bar.
Next we have the Smart Camera.
Then we have the touch controller
with the simple-to-use interface.
For smaller rooms, this is replaced with a remote control,
and for larger rooms, mic pods can be added for a wider range.
Additional audio bars and cameras are also available.
Finally, we have the Compute System.
And if you're wondering about cables,
only the Compute System needs a standard power cord.
Both the Audio Bar and the Camera
connect via color-coded Ethernet cables.
The only things left in the box are the wall-mounting kit
and the stand mount.
You can use these to set up your kit to fit your needs.
We'll talk more about setup in a moment.
First, since we know what we're working with,
let's take a closer look at the features of the Series 1 Room
Kit.
Let's start with the Smart Camera.
It's a 12-megapixel camera with digital pan, tilt, and zoom.
The camera's wide field of view, along with built-in Google AI,
makes sure everyone in the room is captured clearly
and automatically framed.
Next, the Smart Audio Bar ensures
voices are heard without distraction
because Google's Edge TPU is built in to deliver
a TrueVoice audio experience.
TrueVoice is Google's multi-channel
noise-cancellation technology.
It crystallizes and amplifies human voices
while removing distracting sounds--
like keyboard typing or phone vibrations-- and allows
participants to hear and be heard.
For small conference rooms, you can use the remote
to control your Room Kit.
The front has 10 control keys, and the back
includes a keyboard for when you need to type more.
Now, when not in use, the remote stays charging on its charging
dock, powered by a USB cable.
For larger rooms, the Room Kit Touch Controller,
Display, powered by a single Ethernet cable,
lists active meetings and allows for room and setting controls.
But you can also join touch-free by saying,
"Hey, Google, join the meeting."
Now let's talk about the compute system.
It was made just for Google Meet with Google Edge TPUs built in.
Take a look at the design of the compute system.
All of the ports are on one side,
and the slim design means you can install it
in a place that works for you.
For example, use the standing display and magnet
to put it behind your display screen, or just snap it in
and set it on your table.
Now that we're talking about setup,
let's take a look for ourselves.
Assembly is easy, especially with the color-coded cables.
First we're going to connect a display screen to the Compute
system.
You can connect one or two displays via HDMI.
Next, connect the Smart Camera to the Compute system
with one of the uncolored Ethernet cables.
Based on the size of your room, you
can choose where to install your camera.
Mount it on a wall, on top of a smart audio bar,
or on top or below of your display screen.
For audio, connect the Smart Bar to the Compute system
using the red Ethernet ports.
The remote control and charging dock
connect to the Compute system via USB,
while the Touch Controller connects over Ethernet.
Then you can leave the remote and dock on a table,
or choose to mount it on a wall.
The Touch Controller can sit on the table
or be mounted with an optional wall mount.
Once everything is connected, we just
need to connect the power cord and adapter
to the Compute system, then power it
up and connect to the internet through Ethernet or Wi-Fi.
And that's it.
You can jump into meetings and connect
to the Google Apps and services you are already using.
Well, that wraps it up for the Google Meet Series One Room Kit
unboxing.
We hope this helps you easily and quickly build out
more video-conferencing rooms to support hybrid work.

Thanks.
