Crestron UC-SB1-CAM Video Conference System
An incredible front‑of‑room device, the Crestron® UC Video Conference Smart Soundbar & Camera (UC-SB1-CAM) eliminates the need to install additional microphones, speakers, or cameras. Mounted on the wall or placed on a credenza beneath the main room display(s), the smart soundbar looks great and sounds even better in any 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 perfect view of the room is achieved through the built‑in conferencing camera featuring HD 1080p video resolution, ultra‑wide 150° diagonal field of view, and Genius Framing digital autozoom.1 Its compact design reduces clutter on the conference table, and even accommodates rooms with no table at all.
USB Speakerphone & Camera
The UC-SB1-CAM comprises a high‑performance AEC‑enabled speakerphone and camera. It is also available and designed for integration with any computer running UC conferencing or web collaboration software, as well as for general presentation of computer‑based AV content. A single USB 3.0 connection provides a plug‑and‑play interface to a computer.
The UC-SB1-CAM behaves like any USB Audio or USB Video class device, enabling use as a speaker, microphone, and camera 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, with exceptional results.
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.
Intelligent HD Camera
The UC-SB1-CAM integrated Huddly IQ™ camera features an ultra wide‑angle 150° diagonal field of view to capture an entire conference room in Full HD 1080p video resolution. High precision aspherical optics, 12 MP CMOS sensor, and advanced video processing ensure an immersive, crystal clear video image free from light or noise artifacts or optical aberrations.
Genius Framing digital autozoom intelligently detects the people in the room and frames them perfectly for an optimal view. With Genius Framing, there’s no need to control the camera manually or rely on stored presets. When conferencing, the camera image adjusts automatically to frame everyone in the shot.1 People counting analytics detects and reports the number of people in frame for analysis by room utilization software.2
Enhanced Functionality
The UC-SB1-CAM 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 remotes or a control system. The computer detects the soundbar connection automatically, and the soundbar responds when an online meeting 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.
Analog Audio Input & Output
Additional audio connectivity is provided through unbalanced stereo analog input and output jacks on the rear panel. The input accommodates a line‑level audio source, which feeds to the internal amplifier and speakers with no volume control or other signal processing. The output is provided to feed an assistive listening system, and carries the same audio signal as the soundbar speakers.
Easy Installation
The integral hinged mounting bracket attaches easily to a wall surface using four screws. A total of eight mounting keyholes, arranged in 2 in. (51 mm) increments, accommodates wall stud spacing from 12 to 24 in. (305 to 610 mm). The mounting bracket allows the soundbar to be tipped forward for full access to the rear panel connections. Once installed and connected, the soundbar is held upright magnetically for normal operation. Alternately, the soundbar can be placed on a shelf or credenza. Optimal results are achieved by positioning the unit at ear/face height when seated. A single 100‑240 VAC outlet is required to power the unit.
