SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH – June 11, 2024 – ClearOne (NASDAQ: CLRO), a global leader in conferencing, collaboration, and network streaming solutions, today announced a major firmware upgrade for existing UNITE® 260 Pro camera owners. This upgrade contains powerful new features, further enhancing the value of their investment in ClearOne video solutions. With AI technology and these new features, the UNITE 260 Pro Camera elevates any meeting space into a professional-grade video collaboration room.
"These enhancements deliver greater tracking stability, customizable focus areas, and convenient local recording capabilities, ensuring a more engaging and productive meeting experience for everyone involved. Conferencing and lecture capture use cases have specific requirements, and these enhancements ensure optimal performance for those scenarios," said Derek Graham, CEO of ClearOne."
Customizable Zone Tracking
This new feature in the UNITE 260 Pro Camera allows users to define specific areas within a room for camera tracking. A presenter will be tracked only while they are within the defined tracking zone. This makes the UNITE 260 Pro Camera ideal for classrooms, conferences, stages, or any space where you want the camera to track only within a specific region.
Re-Identification (ReID)
The Re-ID technology ensures seamless tracking of individuals even after they temporarily leave the camera's view. This eliminates loss of tracking lock and refocusing delays, creating a smooth and uninterrupted experience. This is perfect for scenarios where a presenter might step off-screen for a moment and then return – the camera will automatically resume tracking, ensuring viewers of the video don’t experience an annoying loss of presenter tracking.
Local Recording
The new local MP4 recording functionality allows users to capture both audio and video of their meetings and lectures directly to an external USB drive in MP4 format. This provides a convenient way to record and share important content with those who couldn't attend the meeting or lecture, for later review and reference without the need for a separate video recording system.
These powerful new features are available in firmware versions 9.1.21 and later. UNITE 260 Pro owners can download and install the upgrade for free through ClearOne’s CONVERGENCE™ AV management platform or by contacting ClearOne's technical support team at https://www.clearone.com/contact-support. Experience the UNITE 260 Pro Camera's enhanced capabilities at the InfoComm 2024 Expo, Las Vegas, June 12th-14th, Booth Number: C7009.
