Insta360 has officially launched Insta360 Connect, a dual-4K camera AI video bar the company believes will “revolutionize video conferencing.” Originally unveiled and made available for pre-order at Infocomm 2024, Connect is now ready to upgrade hybrid meetings.

The all-in-one video bar features dual-4K cameras, a 14-mic array, and an advanced tracking functionality. Designed for small- to medium-sized meeting rooms, Connect blends cutting-edge hardware and AI algorithms to provide an immersive and realistic experience for both in-room and remote participants. The plug-and-play design works with laptops and all major meeting platforms for smooth, efficient BYOD meetings.

Connect is designed for anyone who has struggled through a remote meeting with poor audio and visuals, thinking things would have been much smoother face-to-face. According to the company, “Connect is the difference maker, mitigating risks and offering remote interactions that feel like the real thing.”

Connect’s visual setup consists of a wide-angle camera with a 1/1.3-in. CMOS sensor and a telephoto gimbal camera. The two work together to capture 4K group views and individual close-ups for superior meeting visuals. With a wider angle, 48MP telephoto lens, and integrated gimbal, participants across the room are seen as much as those at the front.

Connect’s imaging is made even better by AI Resolution+, a machine-learning algorithm that delivers true-to-life clarity. AI Resolution+ transforms image quality and detail, showing whoever is speaking in double resolution for enhanced communication.

Connect’s 14 omnidirectional microphones pick up voices from every corner of the room with precision. At the same time, the 3A algorithm eliminates unwanted noise and echoes, picking up voices from a distance  of up to 33 ft. away with balanced volume, clarity, and natural, immersive sound.
