Panasonic recently announced several collaboration-focused solutions, along with technology configurations to address the need for flexible remote work and learning environments.
The company is offering “a solutions-based architecture that simplifies the process and encourages remote collaboration between educators and students while replicating the in-class experience,” the announcement says.
These ‘Virtual Experience’ configurations “provide the AV tools needed to effectively stream lectures, lessons and other activities which previously occurred in the classroom,” the Panasonic announcement says.
The ‘Virtual Experience’ is offered in ‘Entry, Standard and Advanced’ configurations. All configurations include Panasonic displays, a pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera, wireless microphones and mounting accessories.

The PT-LRZ35 Series projectors are ideal for smaller classrooms and meeting spaces, offering operation as low as 24dB without sacrificing image quality.
The PT-LRZ35 Series are Panasonic’s first portable projectors to use RGB LED light source. This provides “superior color reproduction and enhanced picture quality,” ideal for art or science classrooms, corporate presentations or artistic renderings.
The series also come 3D-ready with DLP Link technology (requires compatible glasses).
The filter-less design in a sealed optical unit and dust-resistant cabinet ensures up to 20,000 hours of virtually maintenance-free operation.

All touch and writing capabilities are built directly into the display, so there is no need to load software or have additional components.
Integrated with the Intel Smart Display Module, the displays can be enhanced with third-party applications for additional interactive capabilities.
The BQ1W displays are available now.
EQ1 Professional Displays Expand Functionality
The EQ1 Series displays are suited for huddle rooms and small meeting rooms, offering a variety of sizes with the flexibility to integrate with many videoconferencing systems.
The EQ1 Series displays are now compatible with Cisco Webex Room Kits to help customers create even more integrated, collaborative environments.
‘PressIT’ Wireless Presentation System
The new ‘PressIT’ wireless presentation system is a plug-and-play wireless presentation system designed to eliminate the need for cables and facilitates sharing content between different PCs.
Attendees connect the transmitter button to their PC’s USB and HDMI ports and press the button to share their content on the room’s display. Up to four presenters at a time can display visual and audio content.
The PressIT Wireless Presentation System offers two versions: basic with the set-top-box or cable-less with the SDM receiver. The SDM receiver was designed to fit inside the Intel SDM expansion slot of the displays, so no cable connection is needed between the PC and display.
For displays and projectors without an SDM slot for the receiver, a set-top-box version can be connected to the device.
The PressIT Wireless Presentation System will be available October 2020.
