Ditch the Box - Logitech Meetup 2

[@CarstenWolfram]

Very thorough and helpful review. Thanks mate!

[@hustoncasey]

Great video, super informative and helpful. Appreciate it!

[@techinium1166]

Hey, thanks! Great video, but why is the sound in mono? It's quite distracting..

[@UCStatus]

Keep forgetting to mix it to mono

[@smartyspice8570]

Do you need a computer to connect this? Or can it display directly to a tv/monitor with no need to connect a computer.

[@UCStatus]

The bar has an hdmi out to the display so you can see the digital signage on the display. But unless your display is also a meeting device you will need a computer to join a meeting. Eg mtr on Windows computes or a laptop for byod mode

[@NateAmodeo]

Does my laptop need to support dp alt mode for the one cable connection to work? or does this work on all devices with a usb-c connection?

[@UCStatus]

Everything supports DP Alt mode. Even phones and tablets that have usb-c

[@StevenPenny]

How does this compare to the original meetup for room size? I have a 12x18ft room, it just seems excessive to pay $2500 vs this for that size of a room.

[@UCStatus]

Meetup 2 is £849 not 2500. Mic pickup is 7m from the built in mics. It's a massive upgrade

[@StevenPenny]

@@UCStatus Sorry, i meant the Rally setup vs this new meetup. Do you think the meetup 2 would work for that kind of space? Just not sure about the audio and the digital zoom. I was just about to check out your other video, may answer some of my questions. Thanks for the response.

[@UCStatus]

@StevenPenny okay that makes sense. Meetup 2 is designed for rooms of a our 10x10 feet or about 4-6 people. Rally system as you said is for larger rooms where you need up to 7 mic pods and optical zoom. However, Meetup 2 is actually more like a Rally Bar, mini or Huddle with framing modes and noise cancellation. For a space you mentioned I'd go Rally Bar

[@jiteshjeram8843]

Is Meetup2 backwards compatible to USB A? Will I be able to use the USB strong cable or 3rd party USB CATx cable extenders?

[@UCStatus]

Meetup 2 has a usb-c connection on the back. The standard cable is c to c, and so is the optional active cable. It will work with a customer supplied usb-c to usb-a 3.0 cable. This only connects the camera and audio. You'll need hdmi to share to the display

[@MortAllachie]

Hello. Do you if it is possible to extend the range with an extra microphone like the original meetup? And is the meetup mic compatible with the meetup 2?

[@UCStatus]

The range is already 7m or a little more without extension mics. Given its a Huddle to small room solution, that should be plenty. No you can't add extension mics

[@MortAllachie]

@@UCStatus 7m should be enough. Thank you for your reply. Already ordered 3. Looking forward to get them 😊

[@UCStatus]

@fotografi4fun awesome. Would love to hear your thoughts.

[@ScottSchramm]

Why does your camera keep zooming/cropping/moving around? Between that and mono sound, it's hard to watch.

[@UCStatus]

Yeah sorry. I'll fix the audio and upload it again. I forgot to disable the auto framing on the camera.

Making me sea sick and I'm barely 2 minutes in.
