The Jabra PanaCast 50 Video Bar System is a complete Android-based meeting room solution combining the PanaCast 50’s 180° Panoramic-4K video with an integrated Android compute unit and the Jabra PanaCast Control touchscreen. The Open Android variant runs any Android-compatible meeting application, providing flexibility for organisations not locked to a single platform.
Three 13-megapixel cameras with patented AI stitching deliver seamless 180° coverage. Eight beamforming microphones with automatic speaker detection, AEC, and noise cancellation handle audio for rooms up to the rated coverage area. Four speakers with zero-vibration technology — two 50mm woofers and two 20mm tweeters — provide room-filling audio. AI features (Intelligent Zoom, Virtual Director, Dynamic Composition, people counting) run on onboard Edge processors.
The included Jabra PanaCast Control touchscreen provides a dedicated room controller for meeting join, content sharing, and room management. The system supports multiple mounting configurations including wall mount, screen mount, and mobile cart, making it adaptable to varied Australian business environments from boardrooms to agile workspaces.
- 180° Panoramic-4K, 3×13MP cameras — seamless wide-angle view ensures all participants are visible regardless of seating position, including those at table ends.
- Open Android platform — runs any Android-compatible meeting application, providing platform flexibility for multi-vendor or evolving UC environments.
- Jabra PanaCast Control touchscreen included — dedicated room controller for one-touch meeting join, content sharing, and room management.
- 8-mic beamforming array with AEC — automatic speaker detection, noise cancellation, and echo cancellation for clear audio across the room.
- People count and room insights — real-time occupancy data for space utilisation reporting and hybrid workplace management.
- Edge AI processing — seven onboard Edge processors handle AI video features locally, without cloud dependency or data transmission.
