Jabra PanaCast 50 Room System 2 with IP Controller

The PanaCast 50 Room System 2 is a complete meeting room in a box: Jabra's PanaCast 50 video bar, a Lenovo ThinkSmart Core Gen 2 compute unit and a touch controller, supplied together and set up as one system. Buying it this way removes the compatibility guesswork that comes with assembling a room from three vendors.

The video side is the PanaCast 50 array: three 13-megapixel cameras stitched in real time into a zero-latency 180° Panoramic-4K view. Audio is full duplex, with four speakers in a zero-vibration stereo setup and eight beamforming microphones with precision voice detection. Intelligent Meeting Space lets you draw the room boundary so only people inside it are included, and Intelligent Speaker identifies up to ten individual voices and adds in-room participant names to the live transcription — which is what makes automated meeting summaries and action items actually usable.

Nine Edge processors (seven Edge and two Edge AI) plus the built-in Windows compute unit run the system and leave headroom for future platform features. The touch-screen tablet handles joining, sharing content and ending meetings.

This is the IP controller variant. The IP controller connects over the network rather than by a long USB run, which is usually the deciding factor when the table is a long way from the display wall.
