Jabra Panacast – The Perfect Solution for Meeting Rooms of All Sizes
The Jabra PanaCast 180° Panoramic 4K UHD Conferencing Camera from Jabra features three sensors that record at the same time. The images are automatically stitched in-camera to provide an immersive 180° image. With this field of view, the camera delivers a panoramic image in UHD 4K resolution. Generally, everyone on one side of a room can be captured in a shot. This capability is especially useful in smaller meeting rooms or home offices.
PanaCast comes with a host of new and exciting features. Including 180º panoramic vision and 4K plug-and-play. This new system is set to provide users with better experiences. PanaCast is set to reinvent modern meeting rooms.
The intelligent zoom automatically includes all the participants in the meeting while the vivid automatic lighting system guarantees a great video experience- even in variable lighting conditions. Thanks to the plug and play capability, collaborating is easy and fast. You just have to plug your PanaCast into a USB port on your laptop or computer.
PanaCast works with all leading video and audio conferencing solutions. It’s certified for use with Microsoft Teams and is compatible with Skype, Zoom, Webex, GoToMeeting, Amazon Chime, Vidyo, BlueJeans, Panopto, Slack, Rainbow, Fuze, and more.
Weighing just 3.5 oz, it can easily be mounted on top of your monitor or laptop via a built-in flexible mount. Alternatively, a dedicated wall mount or desktop stand are available separately.
Social Distancing Even in Small Rooms
Huddling together is off the table for a while, so maybe it’s time to rethink your meetings. When you need to get together while still keeping your distance, a camera with a full 180° view of the room is the social distancing tool you never knew you needed.
With three 13-megapixel cameras and our patented real-time video stitching technology, Jabra PanaCast gives you wall-to-wall coverage of the room in crisp high definition. So, everyone can be included in the frame while keeping a safe distance.
Simple, Clever Technology
A key feature of this PanaCast camera is Intelligent Zoom, which automatically zooms in or out depending on how many meeting participants are present. When, for example, the number of participants increases from three to five, the camera will zoom out to ensure that all five are visible in the shot. Likewise, it will zoom in when the situation is reversed to highlight the speaker and not display an empty room. Additionally, via a feature called Vivid HDR, the camera automatically adjusts contrast whenever lighting conditions change, so that the image is balanced and displayed in optimal quality.
PanaCast features two built-in mics and supports an optional Jabra Speak 710 external speaker for a more comprehensive and professional meeting room experience.
Plug and Play Functionality
The camera works over a plug-and-play USB interface, so you can connect it directly to your laptop. You can also combine it with an optional hub or dock that supports additional devices (a speaker, tablet, TV, etc.). Other optional extras include a Panacast Table Stand and a Wall Mounting Kit.
While this PanaCast camera works right out of the box, you can also customise its setting using the companion Jabra Direct software, compatible with Windows and Mac. In this application you can adjust the field of view between 90, 120, 140, and 180°. You can also use electronic pan/tilt/zoom, choose to turn off Intelligent Zoom or Vivid HDR, disable built-in mics, set line frequency, and more. This PanaCast device comes with a USB cable so you can plug in to a laptop or a room computer’s USB port and you are ready to go.
