If your small or medium-sized meeting room needs professional sound and visuals comparable to a video production crew—without the crew, of course—take a serious look at the Jabra PanaCast 50 videobar. It has an extensive feature set coupled with performance that can bring your next videoconference up to 21st century standards.

First, let's talk about the tech. The PanaCast 50 features three, 13-megapixel CMOS cameras with real-time switching in up to 4K30 and 6x digital zoom. Its integrated Virtual Director uses speaker tracking technology to keep the video focused on who is currently speaking.

Meanwhile, eight beamforming microphones and voice detection technology capture the sound, which is played back through four stereo speakers (two 50mm woofers and two 20mm tweeters). Residual echo is identified and removed so only the sound that’s needed is heard. Even if everyone is speaking at the same time, each distinct voice will be heard, which makes this ideal for active meetings and/or my next holiday gathering.
