The Vaddio Venture VideoBAR features manual PTZ/ePTZ control and tracking technology that offers three modes: Speaker Framing, Participant Framing, and SmartGallery. Utilizing advanced facial- and speaker-tracking algorithms, the Venture VideoBAR can focus on and frame a single presenter in the space. It leverages the beamforming microphone array to precisely pinpoint the speaker’s position without adding distracting video motion. It can also accurately frame a group of coworkers, eliminating wasted space and bringing people front and center. Additionally, the articulating camera lens with dual motors provides smooth pan and tilt adjustments of up to ±15 degrees, enabling the camera to frame the action in the room without relying on ePTZ cropping abilities.
The plug-and-play device also offers simultaneous USB and HDMI outputs for greater versatility. Users can seamlessly connect a PC via the USB 3.0 connection, providing clear audio and 4K video for effortless video conferencing. The device can boost confidence during presentations or video conferences with the 4K 2160p/60 HDMI output and a confidence monitor, allowing presenters to see what the audience will see on the far end. Additionally, the Venture VideoBAR can be used as a speakerphone for voice calls or to listen to music via a Bluetooth connection.
Venture TableMIC enhances the audio experience by offering extended microphone coverage and an easy-to-reach mute button, perfect for larger and irregularly shaped spaces. Its three-element array head provides 360-degree coverage with a pickup radius of up to 20 feet, ensuring every participant is heard clearly. Setting up the Venture TableMIC is straightforward; it connects to the Venture VideoBAR with a single category cable. For full microphone coverage in expansive boardrooms or U-shaped conference tables, up to three TableMICs can be daisy-chained.
