Neat Center Support
Neat Center
Neat Center is a companion device that extends the power of Neat video devices and Neat Symmetry by enabling remote attendees to see and hear those in the meeting room better than ever, regardless of where in-room participants are seated or looking. Pairing with primary Neat devices Neat Bar, Neat Bar Pro and Neat Board, Neat Center further addresses the balance between remote attendees and in-room participants. It brings remote attendees to the center of the conversation for greater equity and inclusion, elevating the sense of everyone being in the room together. For example, when those in the room turn away from the primary device to talk among themselves, Neat Center gives remote attendees clear and unobtrusive audiovisuals, helping them maintain conversational context and pick up on any nonverbal cues.
