At the 2022 InfoComm show at the Las Vegas Convention Center, Bose Professional has announced the new Videobar VB-S, designed as an all-in-one USB conferencing device in delivering video and audio to meeting booths, huddle spaces and rooms up to 10 x 10 feet (3 x 3 meters).
The Videobar VB-S includes a loudspeaker, microphones and electronics housed closely together, with an included option of either a table stand or wall-mount kit. The four beam-steering microphones are designed to actively focus on voices in the room, while exclusion zones help to reject unwanted sound and auto EQ delivers optimizes audio.
Further, a 4K HD camera offers a wide field of view, with an Autoframing Mode that helps to keep in-room participants in view to enable remote participants to follow conversations while understanding content on whiteboards, flipcharts or other in-room objects. For the single presenter, the Follow-me Mode frames and dynamically follows the person. As with the original Bose Videobar VB1, the Videobar VB-S is designed to work across popular third-party cloud conferencing services including Microsoft Teams, Zoom and Google Meet.
“The newest addition to the Bose Videobar family increases the locations where companies can ensure Bose quality and innovation to support their meeting needs,” says Martin Bodley, director and global head of Bose Work for Bose Professional. “The Videobar VB-S is perfect for addressing those vital smaller spaces where IT managers are challenged to find the right solution that’s transparent and ensures meeting experiences are clear and employees feel connected.”
The Videobar VB-S is configured with the Bose Work Configuration software for quick initial setup. It is available either as an app or via web browser and enables users to manage their devices remotely. The Bose Work Management software provides device status and control of critical functions for a single-device or all the devices enterprise-wide. Through the Bose Work mobile app, users can adjust device settings in real time from a smartphone, including volume, mute, pan, tilt, zoom, preset control and Bluetooth pairing.
