# Looq Reference Architecture Guide ## Document Purpose Technical reference architectures for AV integrators deploying Looq Hybrid Meeting Spaces across Small Room, Extended Canvas, and Panoramic configurations. --- ## Understanding the Looq Hardware Multiplier ### Professional Zoom/Teams Room (Baseline) **Typical Hardware:** - 1-2× Displays (55"-65") = $3,000 - 1× PTZ Camera (professional) = $1,500 - 1× Ceiling Mic Array = $1,500 - 1× DSP + Speaker System = $2,000 - **Total Hardware: ~$8,500** - **Software: Zoom Rooms ($49/month) or Teams Rooms ($40-70/month)** **Experience:** - Single perspective, flat video grid - No eye contact or spatial awareness - Everyone stares at foreheads - Difficult to identify who's speaking - Remote participants feel like second-class attendees ### Looq-Enhanced Room Transformation (Small Room, 4-8 Seats) **Hardware Upgrade:** - 3× Displays (multi-zone spatial canvas) = $4,500 - 3× Cameras (surround capture) = $1,500 - 3× Mic Arrays (directional audio zones) = $2,400 - 3× Speaker Sets (spatial audio playback) = $1,200 - 1× Looq Compute System (NVIDIA RTX) = $900 - **Total Hardware: ~$10,500** - **Software: Looq Prism ($149/month) - only $100/month more than Zoom Rooms** **Larger Rooms Scale Accordingly:** - Extended Canvas (8-12 seats): $20,000 hardware - Panoramic (12+ seats): $47,500 hardware **Experience:** - Natural eye contact (remote participants appear where they would sit) - Spatial audio (know who's speaking without looking) - Immersive presence (feels like in-person collaboration) - AI orchestration (auto-framing, auto-switching) - 15-minute auto-calibration (no manual commissioning) ### Integrator Business Impact **Professional Zoom Room Sale:** - Hardware revenue: $8,500 - Integrator margin (30%): **$2,550 profit** - Software: One-time Zoom/Teams subscription setup **Looq Small Room Sale (4-8 seats):** - Hardware revenue: $10,500 - Integrator margin (30%): **$3,150 profit** - Software: Looq recurring revenue share (5% of $149/mo = $7.45/mo per room) - 5-year software value: **$447 additional per room** **Total Profit Comparison:** - Professional Zoom: $2,550 one-time - Looq Small Room: $3,597 over 5 years (hardware + software) - **1.4x multiplier** **Extended Canvas Rooms (8-12 seats):** - Hardware revenue: $20,000 → **$6,000 margin** + $447 software = $6,447 total (**2.5x vs Zoom**) **Panoramic Rooms (12+ seats):** - Hardware revenue: $47,500 → **$14,250 margin** + $447 software = $14,697 total (**5.8x vs Zoom**) > **Key Message:** Looq grows your hardware revenue as room size increases. Small rooms: modest uplift. Large rooms: 5-6x multiplier. Plus recurring revenue on all tiers. --- ## Architecture 1: Small Room (4-8 Seats) ### Use Cases - Small conference rooms - Executive offices - Focus rooms - 1:1 or small team meetings ### Spatial Layout ``` ┌─────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Display Wall (1-2) │ └─────────────────────────────────────┘ ▲ Camera View ▲ 🎥 Cam 1 🎥 Cam 2 (Left) (Right) ┌───┐ ┌───┐ ┌───┐ ┌───┐ │ 💺 │ │ 💺 │ │ 💺 │ │ 💺 │ Table └───┘ └───┘ └───┘ └───┘ Room Dimensions: 12' × 15' (3.6m × 4.5m) Ceiling Height: 8-10' (2.4-3m) ``` ### Hardware BOM **Display System:** - Primary Display: 65"-75" 4K (or dual 55") - Mounting: Wall-mount or mobile cart - Resolution: 3840×2160 minimum - Refresh: 60Hz+ - **Brands:** LG, Samsung, Sony **Camera Array (2-3 units):** - 2× Wide-angle HD cameras (120°+ FOV) - 1× Optional PTZ for speaker tracking - Placement: Above/beside displays - Connection: USB 3.0 or IP - **Brands:** Logitech Rally Bar, PTZOptics, Lumens **Audio System:** - 1× Ceiling microphone array OR - 2× Tabletop boundary microphones - 1× Soundbar or ceiling speakers (stereo) - Echo cancellation: Built-in + Looq software - **Brands:** Shure MXA910, ClearOne, Yamaha **Compute Platform:** - NVIDIA GPU: RTX 4060 or better (desktop) OR RTX 4000 Ada (workstation) - CPU: Intel i7/i9 or AMD Ryzen 7/9 - RAM: 32GB minimum - Storage: 512GB NVMe SSD - OS: Windows 11 Pro or Ubuntu 22.04 LTS - Form Factor: Mini PC or rack-mount workstation - **Brands:** HP Z2 G9, Dell Precision 3660, Lenovo ThinkStation P360 **Network Infrastructure:** - 1Gbps Ethernet to compute - PoE+ switch for cameras (if IP cameras) - VLAN segmentation recommended - QoS enabled for video traffic - **Brands:** Cisco Catalyst, HPE Aruba, Ubiquiti **Optional HDBaseT Integration:** - HDBaseT transmitter/receiver pair (if display >15m from compute) - Supports 4K60, USB, Ethernet, control over single cable - **Brands:** Valens Chipset (VA7000), Atlona, Crestron ### Network Topology (Small Room) ```mermaid graph TD Internet[Internet/WAN] Firewall[Firewall] CoreSwitch[Core Switch
