Bose Professional has announced the availability of its Videobar VB1, an all-in-one USB conferencing device.
The six beam-steering microphones actively focus on voices in the room and reject noise. The Bose-proprietary transducers reproduce audio from multimedia presentations, play Bluetooth audio and ensure voices sound natural and clear.
The 4K ultra-HD camera with autoframing delivers video, so remote participants can see presenters, whiteboards and other in-room objects.
The single-cable USB connectivity takes away the need for separate audio and video cables at the table, reducing clutter and can be mounted to suit the space using the included table stand or wall-mount kit. All mounting options allow for tilt capability to keep the team optimally centered in the video image.
The Bose Videobar VB1 is Microsoft Teams Certified and connects to existing network infrastructure, integrating with popular third-party cloud services including Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Zoom and more. Remote management and configuration capabilities offer the option to deploy and manage from anywhere, whether a single unit or up to one thousand installed in conference rooms across the globe.
The Videobar VB1 can be configured with the Bose Work Configuration software, available as an app or via web browser; and management of devices can be done remotely with the Bose Work Management app, which displays real-time status and allows for easy single-unit or system-wide changes.
Using a smartphone or included IR remote, settings can be controlled in real time using the Bose Work mobile app to adjust volume, mute/unmute, pan, tilt, zoom, presets and Bluetooth pairing.
