You can change your video layout by clicking on the ‘Change View option shown on your Neat Pad Zoom Room Controller. The options are ‘Speaker’, ‘Gallery’ or ‘Thumbnail’. If you would like to see multiple participants, you can choose the Gallery view.
However, if this is not working as expected, it is possible you have your TV screen connected to the incorrect HDMI port of your Neat Bar. Please ensure that when using a single TV screen, you are connected to the HDMI 1 port of your Neat Bar to your TV monitor. If you have a second screen, you can use HDMI 2 port of your Neat Bar.
Please go to the Zoom administrator page and navigate to ‘Rooms’. Once you have chosen your specific room to edit, you can find the option ‘Start HDMI content share manually on controller’. Enabling this setting will prevent automatic sharing of content in the meeting.
Neat can use any standard flat panel display with HDMI input and a 1080p resolution (16:9 aspect ratio) or higher. In general, thinner displays with standard VESA mounting attachment points are most compatible with our mounting hardware.
Neat Bar Pro packs a stack of technology into a simple and elegant slimline device. It supports up to three screens of any size, enabling you to see people and content together more clearly. Simultaneously, its uncompromising audio and video quality give you an incredibly immersive, natural meeting experience throughout any size meeting space.
Neat Bar Pro offers the same delights as Neat Bar, such as an amazing out of the box experience, Neat Symmetry and Neat Sense, but is even more powerful as it has a Pro 100 MP camera system with wide and tele cameras, and image depth sensor. It also has a 16x pyramid mic array, subwoofer with two opposing drivers for vibration cancellation and three full-range speakers, which produce direct stereo sound throughout any room size. Neat Bar Pro can support from one to three screens, making it compatible with small, medium or large spaces, and will be audio extensible using industry standard IP-based audio standard. That way, you can integrate it with existing installations.
You can install Neat Bar Pro into any size meeting room, but, thanks to it’s far-reaching audio and camera capabilities, it is well suited for larger rooms of up to 25 to 30 participants. Our recommendations are the rooms to be around 33 feet or 10m with good acoustic properties.
Neat Bar Pro comes with everything you need to connect to your monitor(s), including all cables and mounts. You do, of course, need a subscription service with Zoom or Microsoft Teams, which you can purchase directly from Zoom, Microsoft or your value-added reseller.
