CRESTRON UNVEILS NEW PRODUCT CATEGORIES TO IMPROVE COLLABORATION IN MEETING SPACES
New additions to the Crestron Digital Workplace Portfolio bring workflow, collaboration, and productivity with new desk scheduling, scalable audio, and an all-in-one collaboration bar.

Crestron Electronics announced the largest expansion of the Crestron Digital Workplace portfolio to date. With a complete range of hybrid meeting solutions across the enterprise, Crestron introduces Crestron Desk Q and Crestron Desk Touch for desk scheduling, Crestron Flex Pods, a scalable tabletop wireless microphone and speaker platform, and the Crestron Videobar 70, an all-in-one collaboration bar for Microsoft Teams® Rooms, Zoom Rooms®, and BYOD meeting spaces.
Crestron Desk Q and Crestron Desk Touch
Crestron delivers the most comprehensive scheduling hardware portfolio on the market and, with the introduction of desk scheduling solutions, extends that experience to the desk. A simple and seamless desk scheduling experience facilitates higher adoption and utilization of the tool, resulting in a more welcoming and productive office environment for workers. The compact form factor of the Desk Q with QR-code-based reservations is ideal for community workstations, hot desks, and hoteling, while the elegant touch interface of Desk Touch is ideal for semi-private offices, cubicles, and even stand-up spaces.
Crestron Flex Pods
These tabletop wireless audio solutions are a new addition to the Crestron Flex line, providing organizations with more choice in the microphone and speaker category. Today’s hybrid meetings require audio technology that is scalable and flexible with minimal setup time. Crestron Flex Pods provide a simplified approach for adding high-quality tabletop audio to meeting spaces, transforming a room to work as needed for each meeting, without being confined to fixed in-ceiling microphones or speakers.
The Crestron Flex Pods Hub is a wireless receiver that is connected to the room UC device and communicates wirelessly with multiple (up to four) Crestron Flex Pods that can be placed throughout the room. Crestron Flex Pods can be deployed as part of a Crestron Flex or AirMedia® Wireless Collaboration Kit or standalone to seamlessly integrate with existing Crestron Flex C-Kits, AirMedia Receivers, or other BYOD solutions.
Crestron Videobar 70
This is a powerful all-in-one collaboration bar that delivers a stellar meeting experience for Microsoft Teams, Zoom Rooms, and any BYOD service and is designed to provide a premium audiovisual experience for medium to large meeting rooms. The simple-to-deploy form factor includes built-in UC computing and intelligent features that capture participants vividly. Four high-quality cameras work together to intelligently crop for the best image, ensuring the video captured is always a clear, well-framed view of the person speaking, even at 30 feet. The Crestron Videobar 70 gives customers an elegant interface for meeting control in a refined form factor, while the Android™ OS makes it an easy plug-and-play deployment.
