Do you have a confirmation on that April GA date? I know the page states it, but have you actually gotten a commitment from Crestron?

Hi,
No, I have no information directly from Crestron. Only this page and second hand information from people at Enterprise Connect that stoped by the Crestron booth.
- christophe limetMar 30, 2017Brass ContributorHi i got an insight response from Crestron and this Smart Dock is not officialy defined for the reseller they don't know if Microsoft is going to sell it or Crestron.

I received a call from Crestron as well. They mentioned Mercury, however isn't RL2 still the first generation Lync / Skype Room System? I'm waiting to hear back from them on information about their Next Generation Skype Room System.

Mercury is not linked to SRS2 and is not embedded with a Skype account, rather a telephony product equipped with a camera. Think about a HUB with a USB camera, phone compatible with Cisco, and then you plug your PC to the Mercury and use this device.
