Optoma & AVer Forge Alliance for the Future of Hybrid Collaboration

TAIPEI, Taiwan – December 30, 2025 – In a significant move to address the escalating demands of hybrid work and education, display solutions giant Optoma has announced a strategic partnership with AVer Information Inc., an award-winning provider of AI-powered audio-video technology. The collaboration will integrate Optoma's Interactive Flat Panels (IFPs) with AVer's professional video conferencing solutions, initially targeting select corporate and education markets across Asia.

This alliance aims to deliver a unified, high-performance 'Total Meeting Room Solution,' a direct response to a market grappling with the complexities of connecting in-person and remote participants. By combining Optoma's visual display expertise with AVer's advanced camera and audio systems, the partnership seeks to eliminate technical friction and create a more intuitive and productive collaboration experience for all users.

The Race to Build the 'Total Meeting Room'

The post-pandemic era has solidified hybrid models as a permanent fixture in both business and academia, fueling an unprecedented surge in demand for professional-grade AV technology. The Asia Pacific (APAC) region, in particular, has become a hotbed of growth. Market analyses project the APAC Pro AV market to swell from approximately $47 billion in 2024 to over $66 billion by 2029. The region's video conferencing market is expanding even more rapidly, with forecasts predicting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 12% through 2033.

However, this rapid adoption has exposed a critical pain point: the challenge of integrating disparate hardware components. IT departments and end-users alike often face a frustrating patchwork of displays, cameras, and microphones that fail to work together seamlessly. This new partnership is positioned as a direct solution to that problem, offering a pre-validated, cohesive ecosystem designed for reliability and ease of use. The goal is to move beyond standalone products and deliver a holistic environment where technology fades into the background, allowing communication to take center stage.

A Strategic Play for a Booming Market

The collaboration between Optoma and AVer is more than a technical integration; it is a calculated business strategy to capture a significant share of the lucrative APAC market. As enterprise digitization accelerates in economic powerhouses like China and India, the demand for scalable, reliable communication platforms has never been higher. By joining forces, the two companies can present a more compelling value proposition against established competitors like Logitech, Poly, and BenQ, many of which already offer their own integrated hardware and software ecosystems.

Optoma's deep roots in display technology, from projectors to its latest Creative Touch 5-Series 4K IFPs, provide the visual foundation. AVer brings its acclaimed AI-driven camera technology to the table, creating a powerful synergy. This approach aligns with Optoma's broader strategy of expanding its professional ecosystem through targeted alliances.

"By combining Optoma's strengths in interactive visuals with professional video conferencing technology, we provide our customers with a powerful collaborative experience," stated Gordon Wu, General Manager of Optoma APAC, in the official announcement. "This approach shows our ongoing commitment to supporting modern office and education models."

Echoing this sentiment, Stanley Cheng, Vice President of AVer, highlighted the importance of quality and integration. "Our MTR-certified audio and video solutions integrate seamlessly with Optoma's Interactive Flat Panels to deliver high-performance meeting room experiences," he said. "We are excited to bring these enhanced solutions to customers through this product-focused collaboration."

Verified Compatibility for IT Peace of Mind

For IT administrators and system integrators, the most compelling aspect of this partnership is the promise of 'verified compatibility.' The companies have conducted extensive interoperability testing to ensure that their respective hardware works flawlessly together, reducing the deployment headaches and support tickets that often accompany multi-vendor installations.

Central to this integrated solution are specific, high-performance products from AVer's portfolio. The AVer CAM570, a dual-lens 4K conferencing camera, has been validated to work seamlessly with Optoma's IFPs. The CAM570 features a powerful Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) lens for focusing on active speakers and a second AI lens for a panoramic view of the entire room. Its built-in AI functions, such as Smart Gallery which individually frames participants, and audio tracking that follows a speaker's voice, are designed to create a more equitable and engaging experience for remote attendees. Also verified is the AVer VB342 Pro Video Bar, an all-in-one solution that simplifies installation in smaller meeting spaces.

Optoma has further committed to this standard of reliability by announcing that compatibility testing for its entire FP (Flat Panel) series will continue through the second quarter of 2026. This long-term validation roadmap provides assurance to organizations making significant capital investments in their collaboration infrastructure, guaranteeing a stable and high-performance environment for years to come.

Redefining the Hybrid Experience

Ultimately, the success of this partnership will be measured by the experience it delivers to the end-user. In a hybrid classroom, a teacher can use Optoma's interactive display to annotate a lesson while AVer's camera automatically tracks their movement, keeping both in-room and remote students fully engaged. In a corporate boardroom, a presenter can deliver a dynamic presentation, confident that the camera will intelligently frame them and that remote colleagues are seeing and hearing everything with crystal clarity on their own devices.

The integration of AVer's AI-driven features with Optoma's crisp, 4K visual displays transforms a standard video call into a truly collaborative session. Features like gesture control for touchless camera operation and audio fencing to block out background noise further streamline the process, allowing teams to focus on ideas rather than troubleshooting technology. By removing these common points of friction, the joint solution empowers more natural and effective communication, driving productivity and innovation in an increasingly distributed world.
