14 December 2014

ClearOne has released its new Unite PTZ Camera, an affordable, professional-grade, high-resolution 1080p60 camera that connects directly to any standard PC or laptop through USB 3.0, eliminating the need for adapters or converters. The camera can also connect to traditional video devices through its built-in DVI interface.

The new model transforms any meeting room into a professional video collaboration environment with high performance value, ClearOne senior director Bala Krishnamoorthy says. “The Unite PTZ Camera’s versatility with USB 3.0 and DVI interface and plug-and-play simplicity makes it unique in its class. It is ideally suited for business-grade UC applications and video conferencing, as well as multimedia capture and streaming.”

The camera works with all of ClearOne’s media collaboration solutions, and the 1080p60 video combined with wide-angle lens provides smooth, sharp video. Other key features include a 12x optical zoom; full pan, tilt, and zoom; and fast and stable auto focus. A choice of standard, soft, or vivid picture modes and multiple white balance modes, makes it easy to accommodate different users in changing environments.

Its 128 presets allow it to be easily moved from speaker to speaker, or to quickly transition from people to other presentation tools in the room, such as flip charts and whiteboards. Installation options offer multiple perspectives for the user, such as being mounted upside-down directly above a display to maximise eye contact with far-end participants, or from the ceiling to capture content throughout the room.
