together the best technology from two of the biggest names in digital collaboration and creates a new
standard in meeting room set-ups. Video conferencing and collaboration will be effortless courtesy of
the most superior video and audio equipment in one, easy-to-use package.
A new standard in video conferencing solutions
This suite of products promises to deliver a new standard in video conferencing and is the ideal
solution for flexible working and the modern meeting room. Users can collaborate with their team at
the touch of a button, whether they’re working from home, the office, or anywhere else in between.
The Jabra PanaCast 50 is engineered to be the world’s first new-normal-ready intelligent video bar.
Its 180° field of view allows for social distancing in meeting rooms so you no longer have to worry
about huddling closely in confined spaces. Also, it effectively takes on the role of the ‘director’ of your
meeting – intelligently adjusting the video stream to follow the action in the meeting.

Its easy-to-use Microsoft Teams interface makes it ideal for meetings and collaboration. Users can
easily initiate and control meetings as well as share content, making it easy to collaborate with
colleagues wherever they are working. It even has Integrated Infrared sensors that detect when
participants enter the room and automatically turn the system on and off.
