Jabra has unveiled its PanaCast 50 Video Bar System as part of its portfolio for small to medium-sized meeting rooms.

According to Jabra, the PanaCast 50 Video Bar System is an integrated solution which includes an Android-based compute unit, SOCs, speakers, microphones, and video camera, along with network and display interfaces for easy deployment.

It comes with a touch controller to manage the room experience and is designed to facilitate “next-level” hybrid meeting experiences.

Aurangzeb Khan, SVP for Intelligent Vision Systems at Jabra, commented: “We have an urgent need to improve collaboration in today’s hybrid working era.

“Our research found that meeting equity has a strong impact on an employee’s experience, well-being, and productivity levels.

“The addition of the PanaCast 50 Video Bar System as a room solution to the Jabra PanaCast portfolio – with the already-delivered BYOD and room system solutions — can vastly enhance the hybrid meeting experience.

“The Jabra PanaCast 50 solution portfolio addresses the spectrum of business needs for small-medium sized meeting rooms.

“We want to facilitate effortless discussions and encourage innovation amongst meeting attendees no matter their location.”

Jabra states that the key features of the PanaCast 50 Video Bar System are the following:
  • An integrated video bar that runs Microsoft Teams Rooms on Android and supports licenced Zoom Rooms natively
  • Full-room coverage with a 180° field of view in Panoramic-4K with three 13-megapixel cameras
  • Eight beamforming microphones and four speakers with echo cancellation, noise suppression, full duplex and super wideband audio
  • It is easy to start/join meetings with a tap on the 10.1-inch touch controller
  • HDMI-wired content sharing, proximity join and dual display support
  • Fast and easy to install with minimal cabling
  • Environmental sensors that monitor air quality within the room in real-time
  • Ultrasonic motion sensors detect people in the room, so the system wakes up and is ready to go
  • Real-time, anonymous people count data with full room coverage to monitor the meeting room usage

Jabra states that the complete portfolio delivers flexible deployment options to bring the best collaboration experience with an integrated solution on Android, a modular on Windows with Lenovo and Crestron, or a BYOD solution with PanaCast 50.

“The Ultimate Hybrid Workplace Meeting Experience”

Jabra claims that the PanaCast 50 Video Bar System delivers the “ultimate hybrid workplace meeting experience” and offers the same user experience as the other two solutions in the company’s portfolio.

The system’s features allow the solution to deliver a “true-to-life” representation of the people in the room.

The Intelligent Meeting Room Experiences, which include the Virtual Director, Intelligent Zoom and Dynamic Composition, are all designed to provide an engaging experience for remote participants.

Jabra says the PanaCast 50 Video Bar System is designed to adapt to the ever-evolving environment of the hybrid workplace due to the AI-powered software within the solution.

Price

Jabra has revealed that the PanaCast 50 Video Bar System will be available to purchase from June 2023 with a retail price of £3,229.
