The DTEN Bar and DTEN Mate bring advanced features to hybrid meetings, offering AI-enhanced technology, excellent audio and video quality, and seamless integration with platforms like Microsoft Teams and Zoom. This product review explores the capabilities of these tools and how they can enhance your meeting spaces and collaboration efforts.
Designed for small to medium-sized rooms, the DTEN Bar and DTEN Mate provide flexible and reliable solutions that adapt to various configurations, making them a valuable addition to your hybrid meeting toolkit. Let's dive into what these products offer and how they can benefit your business.
DTEN BAR: UNMATCHED VIDEO AND AUDIO QUALITY FOR PROFESSIONAL MEETINGS
The DTEN Bar is designed to take your hybrid meetings to the next level. At the heart of the DTEN Bar is a powerful 4K camera, which delivers crystal-clear video resolution, ensuring that every detail is captured with precision.
One of the most unique aspects of the DTEN Bar is its built-in gyro in the camera housing, a feature that sets it apart from other products on the market. This gyro allows the camera to automatically adjust its orientation based on how the bar is mounted—whether it's positioned horizontally, vertically, or even upside-down. This intelligent design ensures that the camera always delivers optimal video capture, regardless of the room configuration.
For those who prioritize flexibility, the DTEN Bar is a versatile solution that can be mounted in various orientations. It can be installed horizontally above or below a display or vertically between two displays, giving you the freedom to configure your meeting space according to your specific needs. All required mounting hardware, including built-in cable management wings, is included in the box, ensuring a clean and professional installation process. Additionally, the DTEN Bar comes with a power cord and power adapters, further simplifying the setup process.
CLEAR COMMUNICATION ACROSS THE ROOM
When it comes to audio quality, the DTEN Bar excels with its advanced 12-microphone array and dual 15W stereo speakers, providing a total of 30W of audio power. This configuration ensures that voices are heard clearly up to 25 feet away, making it an excellent choice for small to medium-sized meeting rooms. Whether you're hosting a small team meeting or a larger presentation, the DTEN Bar's audio capabilities ensure that everyone in the room can participate effectively.
For businesses that require additional audio or visual capabilities, the DTEN Bar offers the option to connect external speakers and additional cameras. This feature allows you to customize your meeting setup to suit your specific needs, whether you need to accommodate a larger space or enhance the audio and video quality for critical presentations.
CERTIFIED FOR SEAMLESS INTEGRATION WITH MICROSOFT TEAMS AND ZOOM
The DTEN Bar is certified for both Microsoft Teams and Zoom, two of the most popular video conferencing platforms used by businesses worldwide. This certification ensures that the DTEN Bar is fully compatible with these platforms, offering a seamless user experience that integrates smoothly with your existing workflows. The DTEN Bar supports the use of two displays, providing a more immersive meeting experience by allowing participants to view content on one screen while engaging in a video conference on the other.
The DTEN Bar operates on Android 12, offering a familiar and user-friendly interface that makes it easy to navigate and manage meetings. The bar's intuitive design and functionality ensure that even those who are not tech-savvy can quickly get up and running with minimal training.
DTEN MATE: YOUR ESSENTIAL MEETING COMMAND CENTER
Complementing the DTEN Bar is the DTEN Mate, a powerful tabletop controller that puts the control of your meetings at your fingertips. With the DTEN Mate, users can manage meetings with a single tap, making it incredibly easy to start meetings, admit participants, browse room availability, and adjust camera and microphone settings. This level of convenience is particularly beneficial for busy professionals who need to manage multiple tasks efficiently.
The DTEN Mate features a durable, smudge-resistant matte finish, ensuring it remains clean and professional-looking even with frequent use. Its one-touch functionality extends to managing participants, toggling screen sharing, and browsing meeting schedules, making it an indispensable tool for efficient meeting management.
The DTEN Mate also includes support for one-cable BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) functionality. With a 6ft (1.8m) cable included in the box, users can easily connect their laptops to the DTEN Bar for signal, video, and laptop charging, mirroring the functionality of the popular DTEN D7X system. This feature ensures that your meetings can run smoothly without the need for multiple cables or complex setups.
When setting up the DTEN Mate, you have the option to choose between Power over Ethernet (PoE) and WiFi, each offering distinct advantages to suit your needs.
PoE Version: Convenience and Security
With Power over Ethernet (PoE), the DTEN Mate not only connects to your network but also receives power through a single Ethernet cable. This setup simplifies installation and reduces clutter, making it an ideal choice for environments where streamlined cable management and a stable, wired connection are priorities. Additionally, PoE provides enhanced networking security, ensuring that your communications remain secure and reliable.
WiFi Version: Flexibility and Functionality
The WiFi version of the DTEN Mate supports both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks, offering flexibility for wireless connectivity. This option is particularly useful in spaces where cabling is challenging or where you prefer the convenience of a wireless setup. Moreover, if you don’t already own a DTEN product, the DTEN Mate can still be used as a Zoom Rooms Controller, allowing you to access and manage Zoom meetings on any existing Zoom Rooms device. This makes the WiFi version a versatile tool that integrates easily into your current Zoom setup, though it does require a separate power source.
Choosing between these connectivity options ensures that the DTEN Mate can be tailored to your specific environment, whether you prioritize security and simplicity with PoE or flexibility and broad compatibility with WiFi.
