Biamp 920-02278-00001 MAX Connect

Product Overview

The Biamp Modena MAX Connect is a bring-your-own-meeting (BYOM) room system that turns a conference room, huddle room, or multi-purpose space into a wireless collaboration hub. It lets participants share content and connect to in-room USB and HDMI peripherals from their own laptops and mobile devices, then join a call on their preferred platform such as Microsoft Teams or Zoom. Up to six pieces of content can be shared at once through the MAX app, native casting protocols, a browser, or an HDMI cable. As a complete BYOM room solution, MAX Connect gives users control over content sharing, annotation, and room AV without a dedicated room PC.

Product Description

MAX Connect is built for commercial meeting spaces where staff and guests bring their own devices and expect wireless content sharing to work on the first try. Shared content is rebroadcast to participants' devices so they can view and annotate on their own screens, and a built-in whiteboard supports up to five presenters plus the board. Participants can wirelessly connect and control any USB and HDMI room peripheral to run a UC call from their own device, and during a call they can swap the room camera for their device camera to frame a physical whiteboard or an object. The device is PoE+ powered, requires no subscriptions, and is backed by a five-year warranty. Connected Biamp AV peripherals such as the Parle VBC and ABC 2500 conferencing bars can be controlled from MAX Connect interfaces. Sessions can be managed from the included handheld remote, an optional Touch 8 MAX control panel, or a touch-enabled room display. Browse the full Biamp collection, and extend large-room content distribution with the MAX Connect Auditorium Mode License.
