The Crestron® UC Video Conference Smart Soundbar (UC-SB1) is a front of room device that eliminates the need to install additional microphones or speakers in a conference space. Mounted on the wall or placed on a credenza beneath the room display(s), the smart soundbar looks great and sounds even better in a small to medium sized meeting space.
High powered stereo speakers, adaptive beamforming microphone, and advanced digital signal processing deliver exceptional full duplex speakerphone performance with highly intelligible, echo free voice clarity. A USB camera can be connected via a USB 3.0 port on the rear panel.
USB Speakerphone
The UC-SB1 is a high performance AEC enabled speakerphone. A USB camera can also be connected for a full video conferencing solution. The soundbar integrates with a computer running UC conferencing or web collaboration software, and also supports presentation of computer based AV content. A single USB 3.0 (2.0 compatible) connection provides a plug and play interface to a computer.
The soundbar behaves like most USB Audio Class devices, enabling use as a speaker and microphone for all types of multimedia applications running on a computer. Even if you're not on a call, you can use the smart soundbar to share content with everyone in the room, or make a professional recording of the meeting.
Superb Sound Quality
The soundbar facilitates conversations with exceptional audio fidelity and pickup. Its integrated 180° far field microphone array faithfully captures voices throughout the room using adaptive beamforming technology. Its high powered, two way stereo speakers produce full, rich and real sounding audio. High performance AEC technology achieves transparent full duplex performance free of distracting echo or noise. Additional digital signal processing assures optimal sound quality for an immersive experience.
USB Camera Input
The UC-SB1 includes a USB 3.0 camera port to accommodate an external USB camera. Connect the camera to the soundbar to facilitate full audio and video connectivity to a computer through a single USB interface.
Enhanced Functionality
The UC-SB1 integrates seamlessly with a wide variety of computer based UC platforms. Plug and play USB connectivity enables control of the soundbar through the computer without requiring extra software, remotes, or a control system. The computer detects the soundbar connection automatically, and the soundbar responds when a conference call is started, speaker volume is adjusted, or the speaker or mic is muted. On the front of the soundbar, operational status is displayed by a multicolor LED status bar that illuminates as the volume is increased, and changes colors to indicate connection and mute status.
