Neat Center 360-Degree Conference Camera and Room Audio Companion

Neat Center sits in the middle of the table and looks outwards in every direction. Three 8 MP cameras with a 162-degree horizontal field of view each combine into 360-degree coverage, which solves the problem a front-of-room camera cannot: seeing the faces of the people sitting with their backs to the display.

It is a companion device rather than a room system in its own right. It works alongside a main Neat device running a Zoom Rooms or Microsoft Teams licence, adding its camera views and its audio to the call. Automatic framing works out to 5 m and adaptive digital zoom goes up to 4x.

Sixteen microphones in a beamforming array give 360-degree pickup to about 5 m, with echo cancellation, noise suppression, automatic gain control and dereverberation. The whole device runs on Power over Ethernet, so one cable does everything, and both a table mount and a ceiling mount are supplied.
