Mago enables effortless video conferencing, file sharing and collaboration, no matter what platform you're on. Whether you're in the office, working from afar, or on the move, Mago's user-friendly interface lets you share thoughts and work together in real time, moving past the limitations of old-school conferencing tools. This collaboration platform is redefining the way we meet.
Room Booking &
Visitor Management
TEATRX has seamlessly blended Crestron and Humly's hardware and software solutions to offer examples of intuitive room booking and visitor management systems. The room booking panel's color-coded indicators let you quickly see if a room is free or taken. Plus, you can manage bookings directly from the screen or via Office 365 and Microsoft Exchange Environment.
Humly has enhanced their software, enabling users to book rooms directly from the panel. Additionally, users can reserve rooms using the Humly app integrated within Microsoft Teams.
Sound Quality
TEATRX has installed sound-absorbing panels on the perimeter walls and ceiling to improve the acoustics of the open-concept meeting room. In addition, Bose Edgemax ceiling speakers have been integrated, delivering outstanding audio quality with a sleek design that blends seamlessly with the ceiling tiles. You can enjoy audio through these ceiling speakers in multiple ways:
-
Mago Pro Collaboration Software
-
USB-C connection from your laptop
-
Xilica Bluetooth
The combination of acoustic panels and the in-ceiling speaker system has created an exceptional acoustic environment, perfect for clear video conferencing and enjoying music while you work.

This system empowers the Teatrx team to oversee all key AV, collaboration, and automation elements within our new meeting space, facilitating remote management of any device via the cloud. Additionally, Kramer Control guarantees that all components receive automatic and seamless updates with the latest software.
INOGENI TOGGLE ROOM
The Inogeni Toggle Room has emerged as a versatile and essential addition to the Teatrx Showroom and Collab Room, playing an intricate role in enhancing the functionality and user experience within these environments. Designed with innovation at its core, the Inogeni Toggle Room enables seamless transitions between the Room PC and the user's laptop, ensuring that meetings can proceed without technical hitches or cumbersome setup procedures.
Key Features and Benefits
Seamless Integration and Transition
The Inogeni Toggle Room is engineered to provide a single USB-C cable connection that not only facilitates a smooth switch between devices but also powers the user’s laptop. This eliminates the need for multiple cords and adapters, which can clutter the workspace and complicate the setup. By streamlining the transition process, the Toggle Room significantly enhances the user experience, allowing for a more efficient and less disruptive meeting environment.
Versatile Connectivity Options
Beyond its primary USB-C connection, the Toggle Room offers versatile connectivity options, including USB-B and HDMI ports. This flexibility ensures compatibility with a wide range of devices, catering to both modern laptops and older models. Whether in huddle rooms, large boardrooms, or even classrooms and auditoriums, the Inogeni Toggle Room is the ideal solution for unified videoconferences, ensuring that all attendees can connect effortlessly.
Enhanced User Experience
With its one-cable solution, the Inogeni Toggle Room puts control of the meeting room at the user’s fingertips. By minimizing the complexity of connecting devices and peripherals, it allows participants to focus on the content of the meeting rather than on technical issues. This streamlined approach not only saves time but also reduces stress, leading to more productive and engaging sessions.
Exemplary Support and Installation
The success of the Teatrx installation was greatly attributed to the exemplary support provided by the Inogeni team. Their commitment to addressing any challenges swiftly and effectively made them an invaluable partner in this project. From planning to execution, their expertise ensured a smooth installation process, reinforcing the reliability of the Toggle Room as a cornerstone of our meeting space technology.
In conclusion, the Inogeni Toggle Room is more than just a technological tool; it is a transformative asset that redefines the meeting experience. Its seamless integration, flexible connectivity, and user-centric design make it an indispensable component of any modern meeting space.
Crestron Table Boxes & Cable Management
TEATRX has installed Crestron Table Cubbies featuring retractable cables, which include a USB-C connector that manages audio, video, and power through one single cable.
The installation of the FSR floor track offers clients a straightforward, cost-effective solution for organizing unsightly cables and wires. We like that this track provides distinct compartments for easy access to power, data, and AV connectivity on various floor surfaces, including concrete, wood, tile, laminate, and carpet.
Cisco Meraki Network

Monitoring & Reporting: We employ sophisticated remote monitoring and analytics to evaluate the performance of the AV system.
