When business begins to return to a “new normal”, it will most likely be with guidelines to protect employee safety and prevent the spread of COVID-19. Sanitizing surfaces, social distancing, and masks will still be with us, and these present unique challenges for office and meeting environments. Of obvious concern is the typical AV system that utilizes a touch panel, keypad, or other physical user interface to control equipment and room computers or cables that provide connections to the system.
To address these issues, Atlona is highlighting a number of our AV and Control system technologies that eliminate or minimize users having to touch shared technology components to help keep workers safe while collaborating.

Here is an example of a fully automated meeting room AV system that allows participants to enter the room and present without touching any elements of the system. The Atlona AT-UHD-SW-510W universal switcher with wireless link is the heart of the Touch-Free AV system. Trigger I/O connected to an occupancy sensor and Automatic Display Control power the display on when participants enter the room. A customizable Splash Screen will appear on the display with instructions for connecting wireless devices to the switcher, for native wireless AV casting from attendee devices with no app required. When participants leave the room and the sensor detects no activity for a user selectable period of time, the switcher will send a power down command to the display.
