Telepresence group systems are the largest part of the telepresence market and arguably the most important. Group systems typically seat between 4-8 participants across 2-4 screens where participants are life-size in high-definition with excellent lighting, acoustics, and a business-class consistency of quality between locations. They will seat an entire executive team or project team and standards are developing around the 3 screen format. Most systems allow for “telepresence multipoint” where participants from multiple locations can each be represented on one screen/panel so it is possible to have a global round table discussion with life-size participants around the world.
