ClearOne Debuts UNITE 200 Pro Camera for Video Collaboration

Companies today are finding new ways to work. Whether it’s due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the global workforce or simply employee preference, more communications than ever are taking place remotely. While the telephone remains a favorite business tool, many companies are choosing to add video to collaborations to foster better interaction between employees and partner companies.

Cloud-based video collaboration solutions provider ClearOne recently introduced its UNITE 200 Pro camera, a professional-grade PTZ camera. The camera features a 20x optical zoom lens plus a 16x digital zoom for extra distance if needed, and 1080p quality at 60 frames per second with full pan, tilt and extended zoom functions. The camera is ideally suited for use in large spaces where close-up, high-resolution video capture is required, according to ClearOne.

“We are dedicated to helping organizations of every size optimize their collaboration spaces with industry leading technologies to improve audio and video capture and provide powerful features that enable professional-level presentation at a very affordable price,” said ClearOne chair and CEO Zee Hakimoglu, in a statement. “The 20x zoom on the new UNITE 200 Pro camera enables close-up HD video capture, making even the largest meeting spaces perfect for remote group collaboration or webinar recording.”

Whether a meeting is held on ClearOne’s COLLABORATE® Space platform or on other leading services including Microsoft Teams, Zoom, WebEx or GoToMeeting, the camera’s remote-controlled operation combines ease of use with innovative features to offer an unrivaled conferencing experience for large rooms. Presenters and meeting hosts gain an incredible degree of control through the camera’s combined 20x optical zoom and 16x digital zoom, ensuring precise focus on the most important visuals and providing close-up views in even the largest meeting spaces.

The UNITE 200 Pro provides flexibility and enhances ease of use through support of multiple protocols used to integrate with third-party components. Featuring USB, HDMI and IP connection options, the camera is ideally suited to use with streaming applications through RTSP, RTMP and Multicast. It also supports industry-standard protocols including UVC 1.1, TCP-IP, HTTP and DHCP.
