While the pandemic and the great switch to remote working has put a spotlight on collaborative tools and those systems which support connectivity both local and further afield, the demand for video conferencing tools and more remote technology support has long been an established part of the business hardware and software industry, but today we are seeing this requirement drastically increase with 70% of employees saying standardised professional video cameras would help everyone participate equally in hybrid meetings*.
Which is why we are pleased to be working alongside Jabra, and introduce the new PanaCast 50 Room System. A complete solution, bundled with the Lenovo ThinkSmart Core Processor and Controller, that enables small and medium rooms to play host to more inclusive, more immersive virtual meetings.
The Jabra Difference
A technology brand that specialises in audio and video systems, Jabra provides the tools your business needs to sound as good as you look on camera. With devices which are compatible with all the usual communication and conferencing platforms you use, such as Microsoft, Teams, and other business tools, Jabra devices are designed to make even your most remote colleagues and business partners feel as if they are in the room with you.
In short, Jabra exists so that business can thrive – no matter where in the world it is located. But what makes the PanaCast 50 Room System solutions so different?
The Jabra PanaCast 50 Experience
The PanaCast 50 Room System is a new solution which turns the meeting chair into a full-blown event host – without paying out for travel, venue hire, or even the food and drinks that delegates and attendees expect. When you host a meeting or event with the PanaCast 50 Room System, conversations become more natural, expressions are instantly relayed, and smart technology is utilised to make sure that the screen always shows the current speakers on screen at any one time.
Let’s take a closer look at some of the standout features and how this tool empower businesses to rethink the way they collaborate.
Realtime Sharing
How many times have you drawn up a plan or created a working document, only to email it out and await feedback from your colleagues? Quite a lot, we guess?
With the Jabra PanaCast 50 Room System, whiteboard sharing becomes a fully engaging, real time way of sharing ideas and building a plan with the support of your team. While you write notes and work on your whiteboard as normal, the smart built-in system ensures that the visibility is optimal for viewers across your meeting – adjusting the shine, gloss, shadows, and even the angle of the board to allow colleagues to collaborate and share their thoughts.
Versatile Setup
One of the leading selling points of the PanaCast 50 Room System in particular is the versatility of its design and the way that you can use the same system for solo work, one-to-one meetings, all the way up to full company conferences and talks. The full room coverage tool within the Jabra PanaCast device and complimenting software means that everybody in the room can be seen and heard equally – an integral factor in the growing demand for equality in the workplace.
All that inside a small and subtle device? It barely seems possible, and yet with this new release Jabra have created a solution which genuinely works in any business setting – allowing for maximum collaboration with minimum disruption to your space and to the flow of meetings.
Intelligent Zoom
Another great feature in the Jabra PanaCast 50 is the camera which is built into the device – managing an intelligent zoom function which gives every individual in the room an optimal close up on screen. Ideal for those events and meetings where multiple people in a single location need to join the same call, this device allows you to finally share the spotlight rather than picking a single spokesperson to “represent the team”.
Is the Jabra PanaCast 50 Room System right for your business?
Collaboration is, now more than ever before, an integral part of business growth and success.
When Knotel decided to integrate the Jabra PanaCast 50 into their package offering for clients, their custom-designed offices and conference spaces became more intuitive – enabling clients across all industries to benefit from meeting rooms with a better soundscape for both remote and physical attendees. The effective video conferencing capability, combined with the high quality audio system, meant that every caller felt like they were in the room with the host, regardless of their location.
In conclusion, from the way you communicate with your colleagues and employees, to the way you share ideas with stakeholders and clients, having the right systems in place can mean the difference between an effective meeting and that all-too familiar “are you on mute?” conversation.
Empower your business with a tool that doesn’t just work with you, but works for you.
