CHRIS: Hi.
I'm Chris.
And I'm here to introduce you to the brand new Google
Meet hardware Series One Room Kits.
Google's new Series One Meeting Room Kits, partnered
with Lenovo, are the first of its kind.
Thoughtfully designed, from the cables, all the way
to the touch screen and built-in intelligence
to put people first in meetings.
It comes in three different configurations
for your small, medium, and large rooms.
A small room is anywhere from one to five people.
A medium room is from five to nine people.
And a large room is anything larger than that.
With more people working remotely,
the Google Meet hardware kit has been updated for optimal video
and crystal clear audio.
Google has focused on making video conversations feel more
natural by adding multiple innovations based
on Google's experience and customer feedback.
So let's dive in.

Let's start with the camera.
There are two 4K camera options, depending
on which kit you purchase.
Both cameras are capable of up to 1080p
at 30 frames per second, and they both
have a wide field of view so you can capture the entire room.
The Series One smart camera and compute system
also possesses artificial intelligence
that can automatically frame people in the room.
And we'll talk more about that towards the end of this video.
Next, let's cover the cabling.
All of the peripherals in this kit
make use of the power over ethernet,
so installation is simpler and a lot cleaner,
without the need for extra dedicated power cables.
Next, let's look at the smart audio bar.
The smart audio bar has an onboard Edge TPU
and has Google AI built right in.
It also has eight microphones that form six separate beams
to eliminate multiple noise sources, like typing, snacking,
sirens, and more.
This is more than high quality audio.
It helps keep the focus on the people and on the conversation.
You get two smart audio bars with each large room kit.
The larger room kits also contain
mic pods the capture crystal clear audio in the room.
These can be daisy-chained together for larger spaces.
With a medium kit, you get one mic, and with the large room,
you can get two.
You can also, of course, order more
on the side to fit the dimensions of your room.
The small room kit also contains an RF remote.
The RF remote also contains a keyboard on the back.
The medium and large room kits contain a 10.1-inch anti-smudge
touch controller.
These can be mounted on the wall or placed on a table.
And lastly, we have the brains of the operation, the all new
Google Meet compute system.
The Google Meet compute system has an updated slim design
on the outside so you can fit it behind your screen.
And inside, it features an Intel I7
for high quality, reliable audio and video
that makes it feel like you're sitting across the table.
It also comes with a single power cable to power
each component, AC adapter, and a wall-mounting kit
and a stand mount.
One last thing I want to point out
is that the exterior of this compute system is magnetic.
This makes installation, really, as easy as a snap.
And it keeps things looking tidy, slim and clean,
and makes future expansion effortless.
So let's take a look at the back side of the computer system.
You'll notice that all the ports are located on a single side
to keep the cables clean and streamlined.
So a couple of things to point out here at the end of setup
to help you get the most out of your Series One kit.
First is that it works with, Hey Google.
You can use your voice to start a meeting,
mute, turn the camera on and off, and end a meeting.
This is great for keeping surfaces and hands
a little cleaner.
Also, one other thing is something called Smooth Zoom.
This is where Google's artificial intelligence shines.
A single touch automatically frames everyone in the room
and then adjusts the framing as people move around the room.
This helps keep everyone in focus
and, again, makes it a little easier
to feel like you're having a seat at the table.
And that's it for this Google Meet hardware Series One
unboxing.
Thanks for watching.
