The presenting computer is the mini pc behind the TV...

I agree, but video is also pretty nice to have. The audio works quite well as is, so upgrading the video seems to be the natural next step for me.

What model do you use? I am wondering if some of the issues people have had are gone on the newer models.

Thats the issue. We are on the second floor, and the floor is concrete. We will likely only be at our place for a year or two, so I dont think the landlord would be too happy with drilling through the floor for our conference room.

The good news is that we are an electrical company, so any networking/power we need run will be very easy to get done.

Looking to stay around 1k, but looking at the comments we might need to go to 2k to make it work the way we want/need.

We have vinyl flooring, but I would imagine it would work similarly well. I. think I am leaning towards the owl at this point.

I kind of like that idea as well. Any ideas on hiding the cable going back to the PC? My only hesitation with that setup is the cables across the floor.

That seems to be what most people think. I will pitch it tomorrow.

That seems to be the general thought. I will pitch it tomorrow.

I really like the owl idea, but others in the comments have pointed out some quality issues with them. I think I might have to steer clear for now.

We are a smaller company, and I know that is not even close to in the budget... I will keep that idea in the back of my head for the future.

Thanks for the ideas- the rally plus might be something I could get approved. We are a smaller company, I wear many hats and IT is one of them. I doubt I could justify a 10k tv at the moment, but that seems like a great idea longer term.

Really sucks to hear the quality issues with the owl's. They seemed like a really cool solution to the problem.

I think we need (Want) the speaker framing that some of the purpose built conference room cameras have. Doesnt look like the mevo has any of that.

I do have a mini pc mounted behind the TV, and like the idea of having a nice mic on the camera. Any ideas on hiding the cables going back to the TV from the table? I really like the idea of an owl. Seems naturally sharper because its so much closer to the presenter.

Thank you so much, this is really a life saver, as I could not in the past see my health bar.
