Jabra PanaCast 50 180° Panoramic 4K USB Collaboration Videobar (Gray)

The Jabra 8201-232 is a USB collaboration videobar called the PanaCast 50. It delivers video in 4K resolution with a panoramic 180 degree field of view and pairs that image with room filling audio and plug and play simplicity, so hybrid meetings start quickly and stay engaging.

For video, three integrated 13 megapixel cameras work together. Real time stitching produces a single 180 degree image that covers the entire meeting space from wall to wall, so people seated at the edges remain visible without fisheye distortion. This broad view is valuable in huddle rooms and boardrooms with wide tables.

An eight microphone beamforming array locates voices and suppresses distracting noise and echo, while full duplex processing allows both sides of the call to speak naturally at the same time. Four built in speakers, arranged with two woofers and two tweeters, project clear dialogue and media across the room.

Intelligent software adds extra flexibility. Virtual Director automatically pans and zooms to whoever is talking or to the group when the conversation becomes interactive, imitating the work of a camera operator. A whiteboard sharing feature lets local participants point a camera at their board so remote colleagues can follow the discussion in real time.

Deployment is straightforward. Connect the supplied USB-C cable to a laptop, mini PC, or room system running Microsoft Teams, Zoom, or nearly any other platform, and the bar appears as a standard camera, microphone, and speaker. Integrated mounting threads secure it to a wall, while an optional table stand supports portable setups. No proprietary drivers are required, which helps IT teams complete room upgrades quickly.

The PanaCast 50 suits small and medium spaces that seat up to eight or ten people as well as informal collaboration areas where users often meet without booking a room. With its wide perspective, clear audio, and automatic framing, participants stay focused on the conversation rather than the technology.
