Boardrooms of numerous enterprises are facing a problem, and it is not about snacks, coffee, or chairs. With the adoption of the hybrid work model, half of employees connect through their laptops from remote locations or offices in Powai or Whitefield. The person on the screen sees one participant’s face, while the faces of others are blurred. It cannot be designated as a meeting but an erratic broadcast.

Today, enterprises are pouring loads of capital into hybrid infrastructure. It includes requisitioning the latest laptops and cloud licences but is unable to get the expected outcomes. Databytes Consulting Tech, headquartered in Bengaluru with a branch office in Banjara Hills, is aware of these pitfalls besetting enterprises. We have helped hundreds of enterprises in Bengaluru’s Outer Ring Road, manufacturing clusters near Pune’s Chakan belt, and automotive companies in Chennai’s Oragadam corridor to overcome these problems. The fix to all these woes is the Jabra PanaCast 50.

Seamless and Inclusive Meetings: The Arc Shift

Conventional video solutions offer a 90-degree window, and that is akin to a postage stamp view. This pales with respect to what the PanaCast 50 offers- three 13-megapixel cameras as a singular unit, which creates a seamless 180° panoramic 4K stream. There are no instances of fisheye distortion or weird stitching lines. The result is that a participant in Chennai can clearly discern the whiteboard in Bengaluru or the face of a CEO in Mumbai.

However, just having wide-angle cameras does not guarantee an inclusive meeting. The real smartness of the device is in the Edge AI processor in its interior. The PanaCast 50 employs Jabra’s Virtual Director, which analyses the audio streams in real time. In other words, if a participant starts talking in Cochin, the cameras of the device immediately auto-frame it without the need for any remote control or the operator asking the speaker to adjust his position to come within the frame of the camera.

Take the case of a quarterly sales review meeting in which there are eight participants in a boardroom in Hyderabad. The meeting is joined by three more participants in Pune, Mumbai and Bengaluru. The PanaCast 50’s Dynamic Composition mode creates a split-screen view that shows the active speaker in a close-up, plus a full room view. Therefore, every participant can see who is talking and interacting. This is a feature which cannot be replicated by any other conferencing solution.

Audio That Wins In All Situations

Jabra and crystal-clear audio are synonymous with one another. The device is endowed with –

• Eight-microphone beamforming array
• Sensitivity of -37 dBFS
• A frequency range of 100Hz to 8000Hz
• Two 2-inch woofers
• Two 3/4-inch tweeters, delivering 80Hz to 20kHz playback.
• The PanaCast 50 supports auxiliary audio output for hearing-impaired participants.

The result is that even a whisper is audible on a 24-foot conference table.

The real magic is the full duplex. Most conventional conference hardware fails when two people talk simultaneously. However, the PanaCast 50 enables both participants to speak naturally, just like a face-to-face conversation.

Another important attribute of the device is its Echo cancellation and noise suppression feature. The audio is crystal clear, the video is wide, and the remote participants are not spectators.

Deployment, Management, and the DataBytes Advantage

PanaCast 50 can be installed in a jiffy, and the necessary accessories are the barest minimum-one USB cable and a power adaptor. The rest of the toil is done by the Jabra Direct software. IT teams can integrate with every device and can manage hundreds of meeting rooms across Bengaluru, Pune, Chennai, and Mumbai. Jabra Xpress provides remote configuration, firmware updates, and room usage analytics.

Databytes Consulting Tech specializes in exactly this kind of deployment and has helped enterprises to integrate PanaCast 50 units into Microsoft Teams Rooms and Zoom Rooms.
