WEBINAR - The first true, two-way hybrid interactivity with Aspen 4 MTR touchscreen
We are happy to summarize the i3CONNECT webinar hosted by Alex Nan (Market Manager Corporate) and Mathias Verheijden (Product Manager Software). The presentation focused on the Aspen 4 MTR (Microsoft Teams Rooms) Bundle, which is the first in the industry to solve the biggest limitation of traditional MTR systems: true, two-way hybrid interactivity.
Here are the key takeaways and technological innovations Alex and Mathias shared during the presentation and live demonstration:
1. The Core Problem Solved
Traditional Teams Rooms (MTR) systems work great for managing calls, but they are not truly interactive for remote participants. If an in-room colleague starts taking notes on the screen or drawing on a whiteboard, remote workers often cannot see it in real-time or contribute effectively. The Aspen 4 MTR Bundle breaks down this wall.
2. Live Hybrid Integration with i3CONNECT Studio
From a software perspective, Mathias Verheijden introduced the updates to the i3CONNECT Studio interface, which serves as the true heart of the bundle:
- Full Synchronization: Every pen stroke you make in the in-house developed i3CONNECT Whiteboard software, or any content you share wirelessly via AllSync, appears instantly and pixel-perfectly on the screens of remote Microsoft Teams participants.
- No More Lag: The writing latency (lag) common in traditional MTR displays is completely eliminated by the Aspen 4’s precise hardware touch sensing.
3. Hardware and Future-Proofing (The Aspen 4 Display)
Alex Nan highlighted the corporate benefits and hardware specifications that make this bundle stand out in the market:
- MDEP Platform & Android 15: Many MTR devices on the market today still run on the aging Android 10 (which will soon lose all support). This bundle is built on Microsoft’s own MDEP (Microsoft Device Ecosystem Platform) and runs a modern Android 15 directly on the display. This guarantees IT security and software updates for years to come.
- QLED Technology and Local Dimming: The Aspen 4 is i3CONNECT’s most beautiful display to date. The QLED panel delivers incredibly vibrant colors and deep blacks. As a market first, the local dimming technology turns off unused parts of the screen, resulting in massive energy savings for businesses.
- Dolby Audio: Displays from 65" and up feature a built-in, Dolby-certified 80-watt sound system with a subwoofer, eliminating the need for a complex separate audio setup.
- Clutter-Free: The bundle is designed to eliminate the need for center-of-table consoles and the massive cable mess that comes with them. The screen can be placed completely freely or wall-mounted.
Size Options and Availability
The bundle is specifically designed to fit into any space—from small huddle rooms to massive boardrooms—and is available in 4 different sizes:
55” / 65” / 75” / 86”
