3.4 RightSight 2: Grid View & Sub-Tiling

RightSight 2: Grid View 

Getting started with RightSight 2 Grid View

RightSight 2 Grid View, compatible with CollabOS 1.8 or higher, enhances the AI-framing experience with its unique capabilities alongside the existing group framing technology (Group View) and active speaker framing technology (Speaker View). Grid View ensures balanced meeting representation by eliminating unnecessary space between participants. It can display in-person meeting attendees in up to four separate grids.

Multi-Stream support

Multi-stream, introduced in CollabOS 1.9, generates multiple video feeds from the same room. This feature enhances the visibility of in-room participants for those attending remotely. It allows the camera to focus closely on groups, providing a clearer display for remote participants.

Multi-Stream Support

  • Zoom Rooms Appliance 

    • Supported. Up to  five video streams, including a room view.

  • Teams Rooms on Windows

    • Coming soon.

Composite View support

For service providers and modes that do not support multiple streams, Grid View is available as a single stream (composite) containing up to four separate grids. This optimizes meeting visibility by eliminating unused space and zooming in on participants to occupy their respective frames fully.

Composite-view support 

  • All USB-based configurations

  • Zoom Rooms Appliance - Auto-Framing (multi-focus)

  • Teams Rooms on Android

  • All other appliance-based service providers

Camera Zone

The Camera Zone feature, introduced in CollabOS 1.9, allows you to set a specific area for detection and framing of meeting participants. This feature minimizes distractions by capturing only relevant activity within the set area. Setting up a zone ensures that Grid View only frames intended participants in the meeting room.

Smart Layouts 

The new Sub-Tiling feature allows RightSight 2 to intelligently frame in-room participants using a combination of the layouts described below. These layouts are dynamic, chosen based on the proximity of the participants to each other as perceived by the device. Each layout creates a unique view.

50-50 Layout 

33-66 or 66-33 Layout

33-33-33 Layout

25-25-25-25 Layout

Sub-Tiling in Multi-stream 

During a multi-stream session,

Multi-Stream is designed to enhance the visibility of in-room participants by providing individual video stream for up to 4 participants in a room. For groups larger than 4, additional sub-tiles are created based on the mentioned layouts, and users in close proximity are grouped within a sub-tile.

The algorithm prioritizes framing each person in the room as an individual stream when possible. However, if two participants are sitting close to each other, they will be grouped into a single stream. 

Sub-Tiling in Single Stream Composite View

During a composite view session, the smart layout is used for up to four participants. For meetings with more than four participants, additional tiles are created and each tile uses a smart layout, creating up to 16 sub-tiles within a single frame. This intelligent algorithm is designed to generate the best layout for optimal room visibility.

FAQ

  1. How much does access to RightSight 2 Grid View cost?

    1. CollabOS updates are provided at no additional cost to Logitech customers.

  2. What is the recommended distance for participants to be from the camera for optimal RightSight performance?

    1. The recommended distance depends on the camera mode selected on the Rally Bar, Rally Bar Mini or Rally Bar Huddle. Fast framing and speaker detection work best in rooms in which participants are within 5 meters.

  3. Why can’t I enable Grid View in MTRoW?

    1. Enabling Grid View in an MTRoW room requires the latest version of Sync App (minimum version 2.5.293). If you still cannot enable Grid View, it may help to reset your device.

  4. Why is the camera image quality different between Grid View and Speaker View?

    1. Grid View uses digital zoom to create video streams of individual meeting participants. In comparison, Speaker View leverages the optical zoom capabilities of Rally Bar and Rally Bar Mini to frame the active speaker(s).

  5. Why am I seeing fewer than five streams?

    1. If you are a Zoom Rooms customer, make sure that ZDM settings have been modified to allow five streams. Make sure there are at least four participants in the room; Grid View assigns a minimum of one person per stream.

    2. If you have modified your settings and have four people in the room, you may be seeing fewer streams due to Grid View’s grouping capability. On screen, Grid View groups meeting participants who are close to each other to avoid showing duplicates of them in multiple streams. To see more streams, participants can sit further apart.

  6. Why is the camera image quality different between Grid View and Speaker View?

    1. Grid View uses digital zoom to create video streams of individual meeting participants. In comparison, Speaker View leverages the optical zoom capabilities of Rally Bar and Rally Bar Mini to frame the active speaker(s).

  7. Why does the camera not zoom all the way into the active speaker?

    1. RightSight 2 uses data from both computer vision and direction of audio to determine the active speaker. The following conditions may impact the zoom range while in Speaker View:

      • Active speakers sitting at the edges of the camera’s field of view

      • Acoustic properties of the meeting room, such as high reverb

      • Glass panels in the meeting room

      • Distance of the active speaker from the camera

      • Multiple speakers sitting next to each other
