- Welcome to Microsoft Mechanics.
In the next few minutes, we'll give you an inside look
at the new Surface Hub 2S 85-inch.
Surface Hub 2S 85-inch is the largest device
in the Surface family.
It combine state-of-the-art hardware
with the best of breed Microsoft 365 productivity
and meeting experiences.
And is designed to enable stronger person-to-person
and team connection,
bringing in-person and virtual meeting participants together
in one seamless experience.
Also notable is it's modular design with removable camera
and compute module.
More on that in a moment.
Let's start with the experience.
Surface Hubs run Windows Team Edition,
which is purpose-built,
allowing you to just walk up
and use it as a shared device
without the need to authenticate.
It comes preloaded with your favorite Office
and Microsoft 365 apps.
You can now install the new Microsoft Edge,
a fast compatible, private, and secure browser.
And with the Microsoft Store,
device administrators can easily add apps
certified for Surface Hub.
It's ideal for teamwork spaces and conference rooms.
The Surface Hub is nearly two meters,
or six feet, five inches wide.
And you can join meetings instantly from Surface Hub
or even using your own personal device
with Proximity Join.
As the camera and integrated audio initiates,
an incoming video from participants is received.
It provides an immersive experience
that gives attendees joining both in the room
and remotely, the sense that they are together in one place,
whether collaborating in a digital whiteboard
or working together on content.
And once the meeting has ended,
all user data is wiped from the device
ready for the next session.
Additionally, for larger spaces
you can combine Surface Hubs together
to present participants on one Hub
and content on the other as a coordinated meeting.
One or more Surface Hubs equally can work in unison
with your existing Microsoft Teams Rooms.
Additionally, to meet the requirements of your space,
camera, speaker, and microphone coverage can be expanded
with certified compatible AV Accessories.
So let's take a closer look
at the design of the device itself.
First, you'll notice the same aesthetic detail
you've come to expect from the Surface portfolio
at a truly massive scale.
It's casing uses precision-machined aluminum
with a platinum colored mineral-composite resin encoding.
It's more streamlined.
We've eliminated the wings
and reduce the bezels by 45%.
It has more screen real estate
than the original 84-inch Surface Hub
measuring 85-inches diagonally.
And we reduce the weight by 30%,
or nearly 100 pounds.
Its pixel sense display is factory color calibrated
and as a native 4K resolution with anti-glare.
It supports up to 20 simultaneous touch points
and offers a fluid, multi-pen inking experience,
whether you're using it with one Surface Hub 2 Pen
or collaborating simultaneously with two.
And you can optionally use your personal Surface Slim Pen,
so there's no need to share.
Moving around the outside of the device,
you'll find USB ports on the left, top,
and right sides.
Then at the top of the device,
an integrated eight port full band microphone array
with beam forming, accurately captures audio
from people speaking in front of the device.
Sound is distributed using a pair
of two way front-facing super wide band stereo speakers,
and a discreet bass module
designed to faithfully reproduce the human voice.
We designed the Surface Hub 2S with modularity in mind.
The detachable camera is a direct reflection
of its modular design.
It captures 4K video
at a 90 degree horizontal field of view.
And if preferred, you can swap out the camera
with a Partner Certified Peripheral.
You can learn more at aka.ms/certifiedperipherals.
Now, at the back of the Surface Hub 2S
is where you'll find the technician removable compute module
with a comprehensive array of ports,
including USB-A and USB-C supporting DisplayPort input,
Gigabit Ethernet, HDMI input,
and Mini DisplayPort output.
The compute module
contains a Quad-Core Intel Core i5 processor
with integrated graphics,
eight gigabytes of Ram and a 128 gigabyte NVMe SSD.
Wireless capabilities include Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.0
and Mirror Cast Display Support.
Now, let's look at placing Surface Hub 2S in your space.
An optional Steelcase Roam Floating Wall Mount
can be used to mount the Surface Hub 2S 85-inch
to your wall without the need for specialized equipment.
And a matching freestanding Floor Supported Wall Mount
from Steelcase can be used to carry the weight
of the device.
Then for easy movement of the Surface Hub
from space to space, you can use the optional
matching Steelcase Roam Mobile Stand.
We've even made transportation of the device
into your room easier.
The packaging of the Surface Hub 2S 85-inch
has been completely redesigned
with a wheeled palette that fits into most modern elevators.
Moving on to manageability.
To support deployment and management at scale,
Surface Hub 2S is managed in the same way
as all Surface Hubs,
using Surface Enterprise Management Mode, or SEMM,
along with Microsoft Endpoint Manager.
Compared to previous versions of Surface Hub,
there are also new device policies
for more granular management with Microsoft Endpoint Manager
or your preferred MDM Solution.
Surface Hub offers full support for organizations
using Azure Active Directory to manage their devices
with single sign-on, additional access
and more flexible admin role support.
It also allows for secure passwordless sign-on
which works with Azure Active Directory integration.
You can use the Microsoft Authenticator app
to complete sign-in.
And once authenticated,
you'll see your personalized calendar
and most recent Microsoft 365 stored documents.
Moving on to security.
All Surface Hubs running Windows 10 Team Edition
incorporate Silicon level protections
with a discreet TPM 2.0 chip
and Secure Boot to a fully locked down operating system
that only allows certified drivers
and Windows Store apps to run.
The Windows 10 Team OS blocks all drivers
except validated inbox drivers,
and prevents running Win32 apps
using built-in system level policies
based on AppLocker, to prevent malicious code execution.
So that was a quick tour of the new Surface Hub 2S 85-inch.
One more thing to mention,
we are also working toward making Surface Hub
a complimentary large screen multipurpose canvas
for your own personal workspace.
Starting with the 50-inch, installing Windows 10 Pro,
or Enterprise gives you the flexibility
to customize Surface Hub with your favorite Win32 apps.
And exclusive to Windows 10 Pro and Enterprise,
you can use the Surface Hub 2 Fingerprint Reader
for secure multi-factor biometric sign-on
with Windows Hello.
We hope you enjoyed this overview.
