What is The Hive - and why is it an essential reference?
The Hive is Microsoft’s collaborative laboratory in Redmond, Seattle where they develop the leading edge hybrid space designs that are benchmarked by all leading designers.
What is Front Row?
Front Row is a 21:9 aspect ratio widescreen layout, which allows multiple essential content windows (video and dialogue) to be displayed simultaneously on the same screen.
Features include: a centralised main content window (making it unsuitable for use with twin screen displays); a row of individual remote participants ranged along the bottom (as close to lifesize as possible); plus side windows for chat, dialogue etc.
Although it can be deployed in both 21:9 and 16:9, it really is a 21:9 layout.
When do I use 21:9 and when 16:9?
Rooms intended for exclusive Front Row use - and/or want a modern version of telepresence - usually with the shallow curved table and a single row of seating - should use 21:9.
Rooms intended for multiple types of Teams use, non-Front Row, or non-Teams should use 16:9. Front Row can still be used as an option, either in its 16:9 form or as a 21:9 'band' within the 16:9 screen.
How large?
In theory, display size is calculated using AVIXA’s DISCAS standard. In traditional use, it applies to the height of the entire display image.
However Front Row has the main content in a window that’s about 60% of the image height - and DISCAS should be applied to this content window rather than the entire display image.
Which projector?
Microsoft uses Epson projectors in The Hive, whose models are now upgraded with 21:9 EDIDs for direct connection to MTR Compute PCs, for full Front Row support.
The EB-PU1006W fitted with the X01 UST (ultra short throw) lens is Microsoft's main choice, with the EB-800F the low-cost alternative.
Which screen?
The VDL Supernova range of ALR (ambient light rejecting) screen material (standard and UST) is the only screen material guaranteed to work under normal room lighting conditions.
If you can’t do it with VDL Supernova, you can’t do it, it’s as simple as that.
What are the projector mounting options?
Depending on your chosen solution, there is a range of mounting options available.
For the Signature Meeting Rooms you can either use:
- the floor-mounted system, comprising projector stand, mounting plate for Compute etc and stand for VC camera
- a ceiling mount, or
- credenza all-in-one units housing screen, projector and equipment rack.
