Comparing Logitech Touch Control Panels (Logitech Tap IP vs Logitech TAP)
Logitech Tap IP vs Logitech TAP in Video Conferencing Rooms
The Logitech Tap IP and the Logitech TAP are both touch controllers for video conferencing rooms. However, there are some key differences between the two devices.
Logitech TAP (USB-connected)
The classic version of TAP is certified for both Teams and Zoom and will work for MTRoA (Microsoft Teams Room on Android), MTRoW (Microsoft Teams on Windows), ZRoA (Zoom Room on Android), and ZRoW (Zoom Room on Windows).
Cannot be used over a network
Must be physically connected to a Logitech-bundled PC via USB over Cat5e technology
Has an HDMI ingest port
Certified for Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Zoom
*The image displayed shows a tap connected to a PC-based configuration. An appliance-based configuration will directly connect to the conference camera solution (i.e., Rally Bar or Rally Bar Mini).
The USB-connected TAP (or Classic TAP) is directly connected to the Room Compute. The Classic TAP offers an HDMI ingest at the device, which simplifies things by eliminating the need to run an HDMI cable out to the table for HDMI ingest.
Note: HDMI Ingest is available only on MTRoW (Microsoft Teams Rooms on Windows). It is not currently supported on TAP for MTRoA (Microsoft Teams Room on Android).
Logitech Tap IP (Network Connected)
The Logitech Tap IP is a network device and runs Logitech’s CollabOS firmware. It’s powered via Power over Ethernet (POE). It has built-in WIFI for rooms without a network port available (A POE injector would be used in this case for power). The TAP IP doesn’t have an HDMI ingest port.
*Tap IP is currently only certified for Microsoft Teams on Android. Zoom supports Tap IP for both Appliance and PC-based Solutions.
Supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) and is a network-based device
Connects to the Logitech RoomMate, Logitech Rally Bar and Rally Bar Mini, and Zoom Room PCs wirelessly over the network
Does not have an HDMI ingest port
Certified in Microsoft Teams Room on Android and Zoom Room (Windows-based or Android-based)
Tap IP is certified for Microsoft Teams; however, it will only connect to MTRoA (Microsoft Teams Room on Android) deployments. The TAP IP is also certified for Zoom. Zoom versions work for both ZRoA (Zoom Room on Android) and ZRoW (Zoom Room on Windows).
