Panasonic Connect has announced the introduction of four additions to its ecosystem of wireless microphones and receivers along with a new software integration that allows the wireless systems to trigger presets on the company’s suite of PTZ.
Specifically, using the PTZ control center software and SF300 software plugin, voice input from wireless microphones can trigger presets on PTZ cameras to track speakers (people speaking) around any given room. This is designed to provide a more realistic experience for remote attendees and to help educators focus on teaching instead of controlling technology.
Conference mode is another added feature for select Panasonic wireless microphone receivers to address large conference use cases where many microphones are required, but not all will be used at the same time. In conference mode, up to six mics can be “paired” to one channel on a compatible wireless mic receiver. (Note: Conference mode is available with a firmware upgrade to Panasonic WX-SR202DN, WX-SR204, or WX-SR204DN wireless mic receivers.)
The four new products joining the line include:
• The WX-ST700 wireless boundary microphone, optimized for dialog clarity in meeting spaces and conference rooms The WX-ST700 offerss two modes of operation – Always on or Push-to-talk. It also includes integration with Panasonic PTZ cameras for voice triggered presets, which tracks speakers seated or standing in one area.
• WX-ST600 wireless desktop transmitter base and WM-KG645 18-inch gooseneck microphone designed to accommodate different space sizes and setups. In a U.S. Embassy meeting, for example, there are hundreds of representatives who want their voice to be heard. The WX-ST600 wireless transmitter and WM-KG645 Gooseneck Mic allow representatives to speak using push-to-talk and always-on modes. With added integration with Voice Triggered presets, cameras can accurately follow and capture each speaker.
• The WX-SZ600 4-port networked desktop charging station for chargomg Panasonic Connect’s wireless microphone transmitters, including the WX-ST200, WX-ST400, WX-ST600, WX-ST700. It also has a network port for remote monitoring, which allows an end user to monitor the number of ports used, amount of battery charge and charging status.
