The HP Elite Slice G2 Audio Ready adds two valuable components to the bundle: a surround sound speaker and a tablet for controlling meetings. The tablet has a 12.3-inch touch screen and comes pre-loaded with conferencing software like Zoom. It makes it very easy to perform meeting-related tasks like adding attendees, calling numbers from the address book and sharing information with participants. Much of what the PanaCast camera does is automatic, but it also can be manually controlled from the tablet.
Combining audio and control functionality with a strong conference room camera can transform almost any space into a professional meeting area. The PanaCast automatically scans for people in the room, activating its three cameras as needed and zooming in on whoever is speaking. Meanwhile, the audio is able to pick up sound from all directions.
Virtual Meetings Provide Colleagues with the Whole Picture
Behind the scenes, Jabra PanaCast stitches all of its captured feeds together and presents it as a solid image, so there is never a fisheye or wide-angle effect, even in very large rooms. Video can be captured in 4K too, making virtual meetings almost as good as seeing colleagues in person.
Merging the Jabra PanaCast camera with the sound and management capabilities of the HP Elite Slice G2 makes for a formidable videoconferencing solution. It’s every bit as good as much more expensive systems, and works well in both huge conference rooms and smaller huddle areas.
