STOP PRESS At InfoComm in June 2024, Jabra announced that the PanaCast 50 intelligent bar was the first video bar certified for Microsoft Intelligent Speaker – a feature that can pinpoint speakers in a room and attribute their names to the transcript, as well as provide more accurate input for Intelligent Meeting Recap and Copilot. The PanaCast 50 VBS includes Enhanced Noise Suppression, which intelligently separates voice from disruptive sounds like typing and paper crunching to provide high-quality sound to remote participants.
robustness. There are 5 Jabra Panacast 50 mounts to choose from – Wall (in black or grey), Table (in black or grey) or some might opt for the Screen Mount. Installation is very easy as with all Jabra products that are plug and play. Assembly was relatively easy – no technician required.

Sales Tips for Resellers Think Sector – focus on Corporate and Education sectors – conferencing rooms, boardrooms, meeting rooms and training spaces, and all SMBs looking for affordable video conferencing rooms. Show it Off – respond to sales enquiries by video calling your customer from a showcase or demo room. Proactively forward videos to your customers e.g. YouTube 90 second video demonstrating the intelligent camera features.
New-normal-ready – It is plug and play – an absolute selling point for customers who just want something to work. No more configurations trying to get devices to talk to one another, the Jabra PanaCast 50 is ready to work the moment you take it out of the box. Mounts and Cables – Sell your customer the entire solution – there are 3 mount options – wall, table or screen. The PanaCast 50 videobar is so light – approx. 2kg. so there is no fear of heavy outdated tech falling off the wall. Additionally USB cables are available in 2.0 and 3.0 speeds with lengths of 2m, 3m and 5m.

When it comes to video bar systems, it is easy to understand why the Jabra PanaCast 50 has won so many awards, and it thoroughly deserves UC Advanced ’s Editor’s Choice award. The sound delivery is superb – both to and from the system, perhaps something you come to expect with Jabra’s extensive history in superior-quality sound systems. The 3 in-built cameras that clearly catch everything in the room and intuitively zoom in on those who are talking or giving demonstrations certainly takes collaboration to a higher level, making those not in the room feel like they are. Whilst the cameras are in zoom, the microphones and speakers are catching the audio, so there is no drag or delay in delivering the action in real-time. Having reviewed the Jabra PanaCast 50, my suggestion is to get rid of the devices cluttering your work space and causing trip hazards, and get your meeting room one. It is at an affordable price point for large or small businesses, and an investment well worth making.
