Bose Professional has announced the Videobar VB-S all-in-one USB conferencing device for use in meeting booths, huddle spaces and rooms up to 3m by 3m.
The low-profile design Videobar VB-S combines camera, loudspeaker, microphones and electronics and includes table stand or wall-mount kits to keep meeting spaces orderly and clutter free.
The four beam-steering microphones actively focus on voices in the room, while exclusion zones help to reject unwanted sound and auto EQ delivers optimised audio to all participants. A 4K ultra-HD camera offers a wide field of view, ensuring that meeting participants can communicate and be seen more clearly. Its Autoframing Mode is ideal for groups as it keeps in-room participants in view, enabling remote participants to follow conversations while understanding content on whiteboards, flipcharts or other in-room objects. For single presenters, the Follow-me Mode frames and dynamically follows the person, making it suited to use by teachers and those leading training sessions or group discussions.
Like the earlier Videobar VB1, the Videobar VB-S works across popular third-party cloud conferencing services including Microsoft Teams, Zoom and Google Meet, bringing enhanced video and audio performance to key unified communication platforms.
‘The newest addition to the Bose Videobar family increases the locations where companies can ensure Bose quality and innovation to support their meeting needs,’ says Martin Bodley, Director and Global Head of Bose Work for Bose Professional. ‘The Videobar VB-S is perfect for addressing those vital smaller spaces where IT managers are challenged to find the right solution that’s transparent and ensures meeting experiences are clear and employees feel connected.’
The Videobar VB-S is easily configured with the Bose Work Configuration software for quick initial set-up. It is available either as an app or via web browser and enables users to manage their devices remotely. The Bose Work Management software provides device status and control of critical functions for a single-device or all the devices enterprise-wide.
Through the Bose Work mobile app, users can adjust device settings in real time from a smartphone – including volume, mute, pan, tilt, zoom, preset control and Bluetooth pairing. So, whether it’s a single unit installed in one meeting area to thousands of units installed in conference rooms around the world, it is simple to deploy and manage the Bose Videobar VB-S from anywhere.
