In addition, the VC520 Pro3 has a built-in HDMI output for video and audio transmission to a TV. But what really sets the VC520 Pro3 apart is its built-in Smart Composition feature, which uses artificial intelligence to quickly capture close-ups of meeting participants and present them with a composite shot of high-quality images. The system’s separate speakerphone provides an exceptional video conferencing experience.
The VC520 Pro3 PTZ lens has a wide 80.5° diagonal angle for capturing large rooms and offers versatile pan/tilt controls for focusing on speakers, attendees, whiteboard content or physical objects. With a 12x optical zoom lens and 36x total zoom (including 24x lossless zoom), the camera delivers exceptional clarity for remote communication. In addition, the Sony WDR sensor adapts to a variety of lighting conditions, making the VC520 Pro3 the best conference camera for medium to large rooms.
The VC520 Pro3 is one of the first PTZ cameras on the market to offer Smart Composition, a technology typically only available in enterprise-grade devices. The Smart Composition uses artificial intelligence algorithms to automatically frame the face or body of each participant. This feature does not require any software installation. The seamless transition between headshots and half-body shots is effortless with the click of a button on the remote. With the VC520 Pro3, you can enjoy a high-definition view of your participants and easily customize your meeting for optimal productivity.
The VC520 Pro3 provides simultaneous 1080p/60fps video streaming via HDMI, USB 3.1, and RTSP/RTMP H.264 broadcast. This connectivity allows you to use the recorder to record a lecture or as a second display during virtual meetings, ensuring uninterrupted operation.
Setting up the VC520 Pro3 is simple: plug in a single USB cable to your computer and you’re ready to go. This functionality will save time and help minimize the number of items on your desk during a meeting. Simplify setup and reduce installation costs with the VC520 Pro3.
The VC520 Pro3 delivers robust and balanced audio. In addition, it supports two extension speakerphones or four full-duplex extension microphones. This innovative feature makes the VC520 Pro3 a good choice for medium to large conference rooms.
