With the rise of hybrid work styles and remote work, video conferencing continues to be an integral part of a company's daily operations in the post-epidemic era. However, ensuring that all participants can hear each other clearly can be a challenge, especially when colleagues sitting far from the microphone are not audible. Additionally, the presence of numerous microphone cables can take up valuable desk space, causing clutter and disorganization. This is where daisy chain technology can offer an effective solution.
What is daisy chain technology？
Daisy chain technology refers to a method of connecting multiple devices in a series, where the output of one device is connected to the input of the next device, and so on, creating a chain of devices. This is similar to a garland of daisy flowers, that's the origin of the name. Daisy chains may be used for various situation including power, analog signals, digital data, and computer networking.
In a daisy chain, the first device is connected directly to the source, and each subsequent device is connected to the previous device in the chain. This allows power or signal to flow from the source through each device to the end of the chain. The advantage of this method is that it reduces the number of cables required, making it easier to manage and reducing clutter.
How Daisy chain technology can be used in conferencing room？
