Logitech recently announced its launch of Rally Board 65, an all-in-one portable video conference solution that combines intelligent audio and video with a 65” touchscreen display. Rally Board 65 is simple enough to roll on a cart into satellite offices and yet is sophisticated enough to pack a suite of AI-powered features, occupancy and environmental detection into traditional meeting rooms.

Businesses face this dilemma every day: they want to provide modern video conferencing tools for their hybrid workforces, but IT teams are grappling with increasing workloads as tech becomes more complicated. Rally Board 65 is a solution that can be up and running within minutes in Android, PC, or BYOD mode. Rally Board 65 requires very little IT support; it can be rolled on a cart into an open space and flipped to orient the camera at eye level, or installed in a meeting room with the camera above or below the screen.

The powerful, all-in-one video conferencing solution is compatible with Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Google Meet. Building on its exceptionally sharp 4K video, Rally Board 65 comes loaded with AI-powered audio visual tech RightSight 2 and RightSound 2 that have become hallmarks of Logitech’s video bars. To further refine the experience, Camera Zone limits visual framing and Mic Zone minimizes sound pickup within a designated area. The new Depth Blur technique obscures surroundings, an effect similar to background blur people are accustomed to using on their desktops during video calls.

Sensors within Rally Board 65 detect the presence of people so that IT teams can get accurate readings of how and when employees are using video spaces. These sensors also analyze environmental data like humidity, temperature, and CO2 levels, assign a room health score and later will provide a room energy score, then deliver recommendations to increase ventilation, take breaks, or reduce the number of seats in a room. Insights are fed into Logitech Sync, a centralized platform for IT teams to get a bird’s eye view of their organization, drill down for details on specific room performance, and automatically book and release rooms.

With Logitech’s Design for Sustainability principles, Rally Board 65 was engineered to minimize its environmental impact, using up to 41% next-life plastics, low-carbon aluminum, recycled fabrics, and FSC-certified packaging. The environmental benefits go beyond its physical design. The radar system in Rally Board 65 allows the device to automatically switch to a lower power state when no one is in the space–a function that can significantly reduce the power consumption of customers’ commercial buildings.
