Neat has launched its generation two Neat Bar, the Neart Bar 2, offering Zoom and Microsoft Teams Rooms native audio and video.
Designed for small and medium-sized meeting spaces, the generation two Neat Bar features a 50MP camera which can zoom in on, frame, and follow multiple participants at once.
The device’s second-generation platform drives audio and video processing directly on the device, instead of the cloud. A five-microphone end-fire array is included, with four voice localisation tracking mics and algorithms for voice enhancement, echo cancellation, deep noise suppression and dereverberation. Dual speakers with opposing drivers are used to cancel out vibration, maximising tonal range and minimal distortion to create natural-sounding voices.
Machine learning algorithms are also used, adapting to a room’s acoustics and noises, light conditions, layout and people movement.
The Neat Bar 2 can be placed on a table, above or below one or two monitors, or wall mounted, featuring compatibility with first generation Neat Bar mounts.
The bar also includes Neat Pad, a touch-screen meeting controller.
