“ViewSonic’s solutions are more than just visual—we’re also committed to offering groundbreaking audio quality that enhances meeting and collaboration experiences,” said Monica Sun, Director of the Presentation Group at ViewSonic. “This ViewBoard is our latest collaboration with Harman Kardon. We have worked previously with the company on our range of projectors and LED displays. We’re excited to bring true-to-life audio to meeting rooms.”

These features ensure that users get a purpose-built interactive display panel that sounds as if the people on screen are right there in the room with users.

With myViewBoard Manager, a centralized management tool, IT departments can maintain, upgrade, and troubleshoot the ViewBoard 52-1BH, simplifying these otherwise time-consuming tasks. The display can also be used as a platform to enhance internal communication – companies can broadcast urgent messages, such as fire or earthquake alerts, or with the myViewBoard Manager Advanced license, they can play their latest multimedia on ViewBoards. These capabilities ensure that important information can reach employees in a timely manner.
