The VigilLink marketing team had a chance to meet with Doug Busey and asked the following questions. Below are the Q and A’s:

Question: Could you tell me which particular requirements or obstacles in conference room setups you plan to tackle through this design?

Answer: “The design aims to address the challenges faced in conference room setups with multiple devices requiring access to USB microphones and cameras. These setups often involve components like local PCs, MTR (Microsoft Teams Room) systems, casting devices, guest inputs, etc. The need for USB switching arises to streamline the design process and enhance efficiency.”

Q: Could you share insights into the design process, ensuring functionality, usability, and availability?

A: “The design process involves collaboration between product designers, our design engineers, and installation teams. This collaboration allows insights from real-world experiences to be integrated into the product design. Lessons learned from actual field usage can lead to more effective designs and better client outcomes. By incorporating practical feedback, the design becomes more user-centric and functional.”

Q: Were any technical hurdles that needed to be surmounted during the development process?

A: “One of the technical challenges faced was limited bandwidth for USB devices over HDBaseT. The bandwidth limitation posed challenges in maintaining optimal performance and responsiveness for USB devices connected through HDBaseT.”

Q: What are your objectives and aspirations for this product?

A: “The primary goal of this product is to provide a standardized solution for a wide range of video conferencing spaces. By having a single device that can effectively handle the complexities of multiple device connections, USB switching, and other requirements, our goal is to simplify the design process and create a consistent experience for our clients.”
