2 Topics +Product definition +Product positioning +Implementation specifics

3 Tabletop Controller – Product definition +Development objectives >Offer low-cost control system alternative for current XAP 800/400/TH2 and future XAP products >Use RAV controller as baseline – form factor has been very well received by customers >Add user-definable keys for basic audio and presentation control functions >Replace XAP IR Remote -Handheld form factor (remote) not intuitive for dialing a phone call -IR signal range limited & requires line-of-sight -Mounting transceiver in conference room sometimes problematic -IR signal susceptible to interference from fluorescent lights & plasma displays -Limited customization options

4 Tabletop Controller – Product positioning +Affordability >Priced at $799 >Touch-screen panel control systems start at ~$1395, but typically cost $3000- $5000 -Additional programming required; total control system cost ~$10,000 >The total A/V system budget for a given conference room may not allow for inclusion of a full control system >However, customers may still desire ClearOne’s professional conferencing solution for that particular room >Combination of XAP & Tabletop Controller offers affordable pro conferencing solution for rooms that don’t require full touch-panel control system

5 Tabletop Controller – Product positioning +Simple, intuitive operation >Dial paid resembles a phone for instant familiarity >Users can start and operate a conference call with no training >Uses actual buttons instead of touch-screen panel, which can be intimidating >Limited button choices means less confusion with untrained users

6 Tabletop Controller – Product positioning +Audio & presentation control flexibility >Provides audio conference dialing and basic audio controls out of the box with no programming >5 user-definable keys can be programmed to operate audio & presentation control functions, such as: -Presenter mic level up/down -Lights on/off -Projector on/off -Screen up/down >Product includes Controller Builder software – graphical interface simplifies programming of user keys

7 Tabletop Controller – Product positioning +Attractive, functional design >Sleek design looks great on any boardroom table >Weighted base gives controller substantial feel >Pre-printed labels for user-definable keys are included

8 Tabletop Controller – Implementation specifics +Wired controller only – no wireless option available +Included Y-cable connects to: >Serial port of XAP 800, XAP 400, or XAP TH2 >Power adapter (included) – sends power to unit; no batteries required +Included Controller Builder software allows easy configuration of user- definable keys to execute pre-sets & macros on the XAP, and send string commands to third-party devices +Third-party devices that are controlled via serial connection (such as projector) connect to serial port of another XAP linked via expansion bus +Devices that are controlled with I/O commands connect to GPIO ports on XAP
