Personal Desk

The Cisco Desk features a built-in 1080p camera with 64-degree horizontal field of view to provide an optimal framing of one user in front of the device. The built-in camera provides the optimal height and viewing angle when the device is placed on a desk, while the camera can adjust vertically using face detection to ensure that users are always framed perfectly.

When using the wall-mount option of the Desk, we recommend following the mounting height indicated in the installation guide for an optimal camera point of view and long-term comfort.

Although Cisco Desk Series devices feature advanced noise reduction, reverberation reduction algorithms, and focused voice pickup, sound clarity depends on the acoustic conditions in the room. To dampen the sound of footsteps and moving chairs, we recommend using carpet on the floor. Irregular geometries, such as bookshelves, help by spreading the sound.

Noisy and reverberant working environments are challenging. Controlled acoustics support concentration, reduce fatigue, and create a comfortable working environment. Use sound absorbing materials, such as acoustically absorbing wall panels, to reduce reverberation.

To ensure meeting participants look their best, they should be lit from the front (fill light), top (key light) and back (backlight). For optimal visibility, eye contact, subject highlighting, and scene depth, use a glare-free luminary with a beam angle of 90°or wider, evenly distributing light throughout the room.

We recommend using a light intensity of 400-500 lux, measured vertically, to clearly capture facial features, and 700-900 lux for optimal brightness on horizontal work surfaces. The lighting in the room should be even and a light color temperature of 4000 K works well in most scenarios. To render skin tones and room interior correctly, use a color rendering index (CRI) of 85 or better.

The Desk Mini features a built-in 1080p camera with 64-degree horizontal field of view to provide the optimal framing of the user in front of the device. The built-in camera provides the optimal height and viewing angle when the device is placed on a desk, while the camera can adjust vertically using face detection to ensure that users are always framed perfectly.

The Desk Mini conceals advanced technology behind soft shapes and pleasant surfaces. Thanks to its chrome-plated handle, users can easily carry it to the office, home, or anywhere in between.
