Solution Overview Multi-Camera SolutionFlexible meeting spaces require flexibility solutions to maximise performance.  A front facing camera may be suitable for regular meetings, but for presentation or teacher / student interaction, additional AV equipment should be considered. There are a number of solutions on the market which offer camera switching, but these can dramatically increase the price of the solution for minimal additional performance.For many spaces, all that’s required is multiple camera, and the ability to switch between them easily.  The addition of a ReThink AV auto switching matrix allows both the in-room PC and guest laptops to access the AV and simply switch to the desired camera within the UC client (Teams/Zoom etc). For additional ease of use, the matrix can be programmed to switch sources on a keyboard shortcut or integrated into a room control system. Up to 5 USB peripherals can be configured and dual screen output is fully supported to allow maximum performance and flexibility. Optionally, wireless sharing can be integrated with the in-room PC.  We recommend AirServer or Mersive solutions, or for customers who want to use a wireless dongle, the Maxhub WB05 provides wireless sharing without the need to install software or connect to a wifi hotspot.Key Benefits- One-touch join of Microsoft Teams meetings- Easily switch between USB peripherals within your UC client, via keyboard shortcut or via control system- Up to 5 USB peripherals can be installed- Dual screen support- Bring Your Own Meeting support connects screen and peripherals.  Host the meeting on your computer.- Auto switching to your computer as soon as you plug in- Single USB-C connects your computer for video, audio, data and network*.  Plus, it charges your battery!*Wired network connection required to ReThink switch. ·        Core Components-  Dual Maxhub ND65 CMA 65” displays ·        -  Huddly C1 All-in-one camera / mic / speaker system ·        -  Additional cameras (RocWare RC821 shown) ·        -  Additional audio system (if required – Nureva - HDL310 shown) ·       -  ReThink AV MatrixRAV-MS-4x2DLHU-Tx/Rx - ReThink active USB-C cableOptional Components for wireless sharing-  Mersive POD v4- AirServer Connect 3- MAXHUB WB05 + buttonThis example includes dual screens and a MAXHUB XCore Pro MTR.A Huddly C1 is provided for front of room camera and meeting audio.When switching to presenter mode, the RocWare RC821 PTZ camera is mounted at the rear of the room to capture the presenter.A Nureva HDL310 is included to provide whole room audio in presentation mode.A wireless keyboard & mouse are installed to allow quick switching between setups.

Enabling Map Viewer Hardware For Map Routing - On Site Installation Instructions1. Background In Q4 of 2025, GoBright launched a new routing feature for their mapping solution. This is for live directions to resources (rooms, desks, parking. lockers and spaces) on map viewers.2. TestingThe tech team at Ascentae have worked alongside the GoBright team and tested this extensively, and we're impressed with the functionality. This is a great addition to the GoBright platform.3. CommissioningIf you have purchased a commissioning package with us, we'll configure the portal remotely. However, there are some steps that on-site engineers will need to perform which cannot be carried out remotely. Please see sections 4 & 5.4. Important Info & Key PointsOnly V2 of the Map Viewer supports this functionality. If you're running V1, you'll need to switch.The Map Viewer must support WebView (enabled in developer mode).We'll guide you through this in the next section.5.
