[@patrickwalter8175]

Thank you for this very well put together video! Keep up the good work!

[@kap2424]

great video. Based on the demonstration, this is for conference rooms dedicated for conferencing? Would this be applicable for hybrid classrooms where a PC, document camera, and guest devices are used and already integrated into the room? We currently use the Logitech Group for our smaller classrooms because it can plug directly into our lectern PC and act as a USB webcam for recording or video conferencing with our university's LMS or other required systems (Zoom, Teams, Webex, etc.) Can this device be a USB webcam, speakers, and microphones for a classroom like the Group can? We love the group, we just need a system that is designed for bigger rooms (bigger speakers, better mic coverage, etc.)

[@mitchellhammer2388]

Hi Josh, great video. Does the Rally Plus natively support BYOD?

[@mitchellhammer2388]

also does the rally plus ship with a usb strong cable included?

[@MattDebouge]

Excellent video, What about when we have a zoom meeting and want to just use the cameras and speaker , is it possible to bypass the tap and nuc without unplugging cables etc.

[@ExpertOfThings]

You can configure the system with the needed cables for BYOD scenarios, yes.

Hi Josh, im just curious if we plug a laptop on hdmi in but not plug usb cable, will the sound still go to rally speaker or tv ?

[@pasiutrial]

Hi, have you found an answer to this, please?

[@DJ_Driven]

With the laptop connected via the HDMI cable at either the display hub or tap depending on which system you're running, the sound will come out the rally Plus speakers.

[@junejhunkie]

If in stand by mode? Would it turn on the displays(consumer tv) via CEC? How would you go about this?

[@kevinkeo4]

Great video for review in setup for research before wanting to purchase. I do have a question, does the Rally Plus and Tap require the Intel NUC to run or can the NUC be used without it.

[@ivanpereirarodrigues2445]

great video man! We must have the tablet or can the meeting be organised by a laptop or computer?

[@ExpertOfThings]

I suppose that depends on whether you want to go a supported route or not. In short, for a supported documented scenario, you will want to use the tablet.

[@adamberns2064]

When all said and done, this is just a USB device. As long as your computer supports USB3, you should be set.

[@Ndpmnyc]

Great video, I saw a bundle with Logitech Rally plus and Lenovo HUB, how you connect both of this?

I know there is a solution there, and I am actually getting a Lenovo HUB in today. I will dig in and find out the answer. If it is possible, I might crank out a brief video on that as well!

[@DanielWillen]

@@ExpertOfThings Do the "end call" etc. buttons work with the Lenovo HUB and the Rally on the remote? Also, can you can adjust the camera from within the teams meeting? I've seen that feature in other hub devices.

[@ExpertOfThings]

@@DanielWillen Hello Dan! Unfortunately, I am not able to confirm or test either of those things at the moment. The Lenovo Hub being in the mix as a certified solution should not take away any functionality, though, so you should be good to go with the Hub. Also, I believe that you can indeed control the camera in-meeting with Microsoft Teams, but unfortunately, I am not able to verify at this exact moment.

[@brianlev-ari1222]

Hi, thanks for the great video, We are using The Lenovo Hub 500 with teams and the Rally in a few CR rooms, we were facing issues where the screens were some sort of disconnecting / booting and then recovering. We were not able to solve it and finally when we took a long HDMI cable to the TV directly form the Lenovo it solved the problem. This means that we are not using the Rally for Video, only using it for MIC's Sepakers and Camerra and the true is that it is a bit disappointing, I would appreciate to know if you have seen this issue? We talked with local vendor and got a few tips such as not using 4K, but we were not able to solve it...

[@adamberns2064]

Sorry for the late reply. You probably figured it out by now, but Rally is just a USB device. So it will work on any PC or Mac.

[@jmassaro87]

Great video. 1. As far as the "ethernet" cable that connects the display module and table module together, is that just a standard Ethernet cable? In order to make my room clean of wires, I'd need 50 ish feet between those 2 devices. (up wall, over head in ceiling, down wall, through channel, up to table) 2. This can be used without the NUC and Tap correct? If we just wanted to have presenters bring in their laptops to present, plug n play once all is set up( camera/mics/speakers, and projector) . Or is there drivers it needs on individual computers, or is that where the NUC comes in?

[@TaufikHidayat-tg8gy]

1. you can use ordinary cat6 up to 50m 2. you can use w/o NUC or TAP, Plug And Play no need driver manual install.

Hello! You can get the complete Rally Plus system here: www.amazon.com/Logitech-Rally-Ultra-Ptz-Conferencecam/dp/B07JGHZKYW. However, to also get the Tap with the NUC (the required PC for Teams Rooms), you can order here: amzn.to/2ADr7gH.

Zoom Rooms are supported. This is just a USB device when all said and done. So if you want to plug it just into your laptop like a BYOD into a room, it will work fine. Just remember you will need to let Windows Update bull the Microsoft USB driver (which you probably already have). Nothing to do on the Mac side.

Hi Sir, I've been facing a question that's been on my mind for a few weeks, I currently have two monitors, similar to your setup. When I initiate a Teams meeting using the Logitech Tap, one monitor show camera, and second screen display the content via HDMI. It all works same as your . However, when I start a Zoom meeting, i found an issue, one monitor show camera, and second screen show black, nothing shows out in second screen event thought the HDMI is connect .

[@ExpertOfThings]

Hello! Thanks for watching! To be honest, I'm not sure what's going on there. I would recommend reaching out to Logi's Support team on that one.

[@MrMichetti]

Grate video, thanks! I Have two question. 1.Can i connect the laptop to the Table Hub Via Usb if in my room i can't install a dedicated PC? The real reason is because there are more people who want to use the system with their laptop. 2.Is the Rally System Plug-and-play like a Logitech Group System? Thank you very much!

[@ExpertOfThings]

For 1., are you asking if you can replace the NUC with user's laptop via USB? If so, not quite - you would need to have a "compute" device in the same place that the NUC is. If that is NOT what you are asking, and you just want to share your laptop desktop into a meeting in the room, then you can do this via the HDMI that comes out of the Tap (as seen in the video. For 2. Not sure what you mean by this. Plug & Play in what sense? Do you mean that you can simply plug the Rally & speakers into a laptop and start using it as a camera and speakers?

[@emanuelemichetti]

@@ExpertOfThings Yes, I wanted to understand if it is also possible to use the Rally Plus also as a common webcam connected to a laptop, such as the old Logitech Group

[@biscuitbytes]

Can you please clarify what you meant by M.I.D.I port on the back of the Rally Camera, next to the USB C port that connects the camera to the display hub? I can't find any information on this port on the official documentation or any data sheet available.

[@biscuitbytes]

nevermind u just butchered the pronunciation of MIPI. scrub.

[@TriXjaH]

I just don't get why they introduce an extra strong usb cable for the Logitech TAP when combined with this system. It requires a lot of companies to lay another cable between the meeting room table and display.

[@ExpertOfThings]

Well, the Tap can be used independent from the Rally Plus, so without the Rally Plus (using something like the Meetup for example), you wouldn't have that eternity cord between the two hubs to deal with as well.

[@ComputerBreeze]

Great video! We are looking to upgrade our conference room equipment. The problem we have is we do both Teams meeting and Zoom mostly from outside customers. Is that possible to do with this system? Thanks.

[@ExpertOfThings]

Thanks! Yes, this is possible, depending on what exactly your requirements are. You can't just switch back and forth between the native Teams and native Zoom software; it runs with one software type, or the other. However, Microsoft Teams Rooms now allow you join Zoom meetings directly from the Microsoft Teams Rooms interface. Simply invite the MTR to your Zoom meeting, just like you would for a Teams meeting, and the invite will show up on the Tap, allowing you to join just like a Teams meeting. Now, the experience will not be the entire feature set for Zoom, but you do get the some AV participation.

Also, what OS does the NUC run that allows this setup? Is it a custom OS? Can I simply just get a raspberry pi, or a extra laptop, and setup the OS on there and have it there dedicated?

[@ExpertOfThings]

The only supported path involving the NUC involves a pre-configured image of Windows 10. Trying to make this work with your own custom OS brew is both unsupported, and likely to end up with a non-functional setup.

[@DeSibyl]

Can the Rally system amplify the person speaking in the room? Such as, if someone is speaking at a podium, can their voice be amplified through the Rally so people in the room can hear them better as well as picking up their voice for remote meeting attendees? I can't seem to find this out anywhere... Guessing maybe not but can't find the answer one way or the other...

[@ExpertOfThings]

It can not use its own mics to amplify through the Rally speakers, no. If you had the person at the podium using a mic that was being used in another computer that was joined to the same meeting, then it is possible to achieve something like this. But it is more of a workaround than a design of the system.

[@sicem6]

One other question I would have… If you know the answer… Can the TV hub be plugged into a third-party speaker system? We have both speakers in our conference room we would like to use and it would be nice if we could interface the rally plus system with those speakers somehow. Guess I’m wondering what the output is on the hub and if it can be plugged into a third-party amplifier if necessary. Not sure if you’ve tried this but maybe you could point me somewhere I could find answers?

[@ExpertOfThings]

@@sicem6 the answer is that it may work, but likely would not be a supported configuration by Logitech. Depending on the platform, however, you will find different information.

Hi Josh! I've been watching this video and the more recent one on Lenovo ThinkSmart Hub 500. Great guidance, so first of all - thanks for them both! My question now is - is it possible to combine the Rally package with the Lenovo ThinkSmart Hub? The reason I wonder is, I would like to be able to use the PTZ camera and the extension microphones with the Lenovo Hub. We have heard that, for bigger rooms, the built-in 360 degree microphone might not suffice (and also draw some noise from the hub itself!). But buying the entire package with the screen hub and table hub, seems unnecessary since the Lenovo controls the camera input, HDMI from manual computers etc. But without the screen and table hubs, the microphones might not even be able connect into the Lenovo hub's own input slots, right? Would love to hear your thoughts and recommendations. Cheers!

There are two huge problems with this product as usual with Logitech Cable related. The Display side needs Mic input when a Ceiling install is done you have to route cables under table to table unit, The tap requires USB means i have to exetended my usb to table or put pc under table ! want pc behind tv.... The table top unit should get USB fed to it by the RJ45 feed from the Display thus not requiring the pc to be mounted with Table unit for Tap installs. Documentation sucks for the most part... you find out the hard way the short comings, These two fixes would make it a HOME RUN

[@DJ_Driven]

The documentation is very confusing I've spent way too much time on this and the system is still not 100% working the way I'd like. If you do purchase the full-blown rally plus teams system with the tap and the nuc (pc) it comes with a bracket to mount the nuc behind one of the TVs for the cleanest install. Plug your TVs directly into the nuc as the display hub sucks, as just a pass through that's very glitchy. The tap will need power, the strong USB cable runs back to the nuc, as well as the mic cable connection. You are probably going to need to purchase the extended mic cable option ($200) for the ceiling mounted mics.

hello friend, I have a doubt: there are several models of this kit on the market: Logitech Rally Display Hub V-R0009 P/N 839-000539, has the Logitech Rally Display Hub V-R0009 P/N 839-000540, .... I wanted to know if the Display hub is compatible with another kit model....example of these 2 that I sited above ????

[@ExpertOfThings]

Unfortunately, I don't have much insight into the part numbers and what they include. I would suggest contacting Logitech Support or a trusted reseller.

@@ExpertOfThings hello again, I managed to solve it, I bought another used display hub and it worked here, working wonderfully.

My touch pad is not coming on so am unable to pair with the code

[@ExpertOfThings]

Sorry, what are you trying to pair? And when you say TouchPad, are you referring to the Tap?

[@christianramos-angelucci7773]

Can you install external additional speakers?

[@adamberns2064]

No. However, the connectors are mini XLR. But the cable length and power for them from the hub is designed for that cable length. However, you could, unsupported, plug that xlr from the displayhub, into an amplifier, but the sound sync may be off.

Have the full spec rally plus system including nook installed. Just set up two brand new Sony 4K TVs and cannot get the second screen to work. Logitech tech support said to downgrade to 1080p but I do not find that acceptable...does anyone have a solution to run both screens at 4K?

[@ExpertOfThings]

Are you running Teams? The system was only designed to support up to two 1080p monitors. I know with Teams, Teams video meetings only go as high as 1080p. So many certified room solutions are not designed with a spec to support 4k monitors...

[@DJ_Driven]

@@ExpertOfThings Yes, it's the full-blown rally plus system with both the tap and nook. Will probably have to reconfigure the resolution settings on the Sony XR-8590K 4K TV's down to 1080P to get the system to work.

[@Danceswithwolves79]

is the quality shitt bc you got it from a screen cap because i swear it looks worse than my brio. this is a 1400$ camera i need to know if its worth it or if i should get a dslr

[@ExpertOfThings]

Which portion are you referring to the quality about? Where in the video

[@l00tur]

Very possible that the quality could be getting knocked down from the USB to HDMI converter. I've never seen one in action that worked as well as a native connection. Something to keep in mind.

[@DJ_Driven]

Just did this exact unit setup in a 12 person conference room. The video quality issue is having to use the USB-3 to HDMI adapter into the nuc that screws up the display quality settings. It's not the adapter itself it's having the adapter connected, as there's only one HDMI port on the nuc. One screen is bright and vibrant the other screen is dull and washed out. Flip flops and it's not the adapter it's just having a second screen plugged into a nuc that doesn't have the dual HDMI ports. It's a very glitchy system there is a lot going on to try to make it right.

[@tomstone3749]

What software runs on the compute unit to provide what's shown on the displays? I've looked at several videos like this but the 'compute' part seems to be omitted - is it something that's Room System only?

[@ExpertOfThings]

The OS on the compute is Windows 10. However, what you see on screen is the Microsoft Teams Room app.

[@tomstone3749]

@@ExpertOfThings Got it, thank you!

[@DJ_Driven]

Technically it's running Windows 10 Enterprise IOT on the nuc displayed on the tap.

Does the table hub always need power?

[@ExpertOfThings]

Yes.

[@eWhizz]

@@ExpertOfThings No PoE?

[@DJ_Driven]

@@eWhizz No poe AC powered required.

[@eWhizz]

@@DJ_Driven Do you know how many Amps are required? Perhaps one of those PoE to DC plug adapters would be good to provide a single cable installation.

[@DJ_Driven]

@@eWhizz Poe injectors I've used are 56v the hub needs 120v. Maybe in the next version Poe and or wireless would be an option. This system is a struggle for anyone that likes super clean OCD installs with cable management.

[@matteosegala9237]

They say they solved the problem of cables but I just see cables everywhere. 😂

[@ExpertOfThings]

Keep in mind, that in this video, I am not using any of the optional mounts that hide cables under table surfaces, nor have I drilled any holes in the table surface for running the cables "out of sight"

[@DJ_Driven]

You are correct no matter how good you are at cable management you end up with a spaghetti factory. There are too many devices that require too many different cables. Hopefully with their next system Logitech will eliminate so many cables and offer poe power and wireless option.
