PARAMUS, N.J., Feb. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Sony Electronics today announced that it has joined the Logitech Collaboration Program. Through the program, Sony BRAVIA 4K Professional Displays are combined with Logitech Room Solutions for Zoom Rooms, Microsoft Teams and Google Meet.

"This collaboration puts an optimized video conferencing solution with 4K resolution into the hands of a wide range of corporate customers across the globe," said Theresa Alesso, Pro division president, Sony Electronics.

Sony's BRAVIA professional displays range in size from 43 inches to 85 inches and include network and serial communication control. They feature an all-in-one "system on a chip." No additional hardware is required for operation beside the display. This results in an easy installation process that minimizes the use of additional hardware. Sony's development and partnership ensures a seamless and robust integration into any networked ecosystem, ensuring optimized and enhanced interoperability in device management, video communication and digital signage applications.
Sony's popular BZ35F series of BRAVIA professional displays are ideal for professional digital signage, information and monitoring applications, as well as use in meeting rooms, classrooms, lobbies, showrooms, retail spaces and more. The displays include integrated support for HTML5 and open API support optimized for businesses. Additional benefits include a 24/7 rating for non-stop durable and reliable use, Google's Android 8.0 Oreo operating system, and access to Google's Play Store library of SmartTV applications.
Each One-touch Conferencing configuration is contingent upon the room size and scales to cover small, medium and large size rooms. Additional Logitech microphones and speakers are also available as optional accessories with medium- to large-sized rooms.
