DTEN today announced Bar Connect, a smart, AI-powered conferencing bar designed to simplify video collaboration in small to medium spaces. Building on DTEN’s award-winning portfolio, Bar Connect integrates compute, advanced audio-video hardware, and intelligent automation to deliver boardroom-quality meetings with plug-and-play ease.

“The DTEN Bar Connect is built for today’s hybrid workforce—delivering professional AV and intuitive control without complexity,” said Wei Liu, CEO of DTEN. “It’s an elegant, effective solution for meeting rooms, huddle spaces, and collaborative workspaces alike.”

Premium hardware, powered by AI

Bar Connect features a 4K camera with an 8MP sensor and 104° diagonal field of view, enhanced by AI-optimized smart framing so every participant is clearly visible. A built-in automatic privacy shutter opens only when in use. For audio, DTEN equips the bar with a 12-element microphone array with optimized noise cancellation and front-facing stereo speakers for room-filling clarity. A microphone ring LED provides clear mute/unmute feedback, and an included 10-meter optical cable ensures stable, high-bandwidth connectivity to the table or rack position.

Designed for fast deployment & everyday ease

With integrated compute and single-cable BYOD via USB-C, Bar Connect aims to minimize setup time and IT overhead while giving users a familiar, laptop-first experience. The solution supports both dedicated room systems and BYOD workflows, and can be configured and managed through the DTEN App for consistent performance across rooms.

DTEN says Bar Connect is purpose-built for the realities of hybrid work—combining professional-grade AV, intelligent automation, and simplified control in a compact form factor suited to focus rooms, huddle spaces, and mid-sized conference rooms.
