Hi. My name is Brian, and I work at Airtame as a Pro AV specialist. Today, I'm going to be highlighting the recently announced partnership between Jabra and Airtame. Together, we believe our solutions can provide a simple and easy hybrid video conferencing workspace, which drives down the total cost of ownership throughout the organization while providing a wide variety of features to accommodate different kinds of meeting spaces. Now today, there are millions of conference rooms out there which need to be able to accommodate the hybrid video conferencing experience like we know it today. So when I say the hybrid video conferencing experience, I'm referring to people who are conferencing in the room like I am now, but also maybe colleagues joining us remotely, in a coffee shop or at their home. So if there are multiple colleagues in this room returning from their home office, we want to ensure that they have the same easy experience that they have while conferencing on their desktop as they do in a team conferencing environment. We want to ensure that everybody in the room is seen and heard equally and also that from a support perspective, the integrators and AV installers have an easy experience as well. Now when we're talking about how we've done this individually, from the Jabra perspective, we're gonna be focusing on the Jabra Panda cast fifty, again, combined with our Airtame hub device. The Jabra Pentacast fifty accommodates a wide variety of different meeting spaces because we can actually see everybody in the room with the three camera array one hundred and eighty degree field of view cameras. Now we can see participants or we can dial that in a little bit with some of the AI features offered with the p fifty. I can choose to frame all the participants in the room. I could also choose to only frame the active speaker and track them as they move throughout their presentation. I can even get a little bit more granular and choose to frame up to four participants individually so that everybody is seen and heard throughout the entire meeting, again, likening it to this experience of video conferencing from your house. Now once we configure the Jabra PentaCast fifty within the Jabra management software, it's very easy to come back and to edit any of these settings at any point in time over a wired USB or over our network connection, but we can consider this a set it and forget it effort. Now that the Jabber is configured, we can connect it to my Airtame hub device over a USB a or c connection. Once we've connected it to my Airtame hub, I will go into my Airtame cloud management portal, and I will select my particular device. I'll go to my Airtame rooms tab, and here I can ensure that the Jabra Panikast fifty is selected for my microphone, speaker, and camera device and I can save this. Now once I've saved this configuration, this means that any user that uses the Airtame application to join a call will always be using the Jabra p fifty, and they never have to worry about finding any device settings in any particular video conferencing application. Furthermore, from the administrator perspective, I can set up my appearance and customize this so that I can incorporate any type of digital media, whether it's a website, whether it's a video, an image, or just instructions on how to join into the call or just share my screen, I can customize those to my experience or my user's experience and then put it on to my meeting room display here. Again, once I set these things, I can forget about them and then we can focus on the user experience. But ultimately, we wanna make this very simple and easy for the integrators and the people actually maintaining this behind the scenes every day. Now transitioning a little bit to the user experience, I'll be focusing on using my Airtame app. And this is where we get to be unique versus other players in the wireless conferencing industry. So in my Airtame app, I can find my particular device by either selecting it or typing in the unique pairing code for this device. I will then select join call. And when I select join call, it forms a connection with the Airtame device over the network. The Airtame device is connected over PoE plus for maximum performance and for minimal latency and delay. Now within my Airtame application, I can see all of my meetings important for the day, whether they are Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, or Webex. It doesn't matter the platform. The user flow will be the same for all of these meetings, which is very important. We don't wanna have to worry about different applications or, you know, if there's a new meeting that you've never used before and you're not familiar with that video conferencing app, that doesn't matter because you can just be familiar with the AirTime application itself. So, again, I'm going to select a particular meeting on my calendar. And when I join call, we are going to actually send a link from my Airtame application to the Airtame hub here. Since the hub is on the network, it's going to launch this call over WebRTC and be joined into the existing meeting. This alleviates my laptop from running the call and running any video conferencing applications, and it's going to alleviate my processing and my battery on my laptop because all the heavy lifting is being done by the hub. We're simply telling the hub, you cast this particular call. When I join into the call, again, we are going to be opting for minimal latency and delay because we have that standard network connection. And now we can see that the Jabra PanaCast fifty has automatically framed me in this field of view. And so I've set up my meeting space as an intelligent meeting space so that not all corners of my room are captured. I want to ensure that if we have some people walking by these glass walls, they won't be captured. And furthermore, if I have some participants in the room that might not be active speakers, we can put them in that corner of the room, and we don't need to frame them as well. I actually have some other participants in this room right now whom you cannot see because of this frame that I've set up. Additionally, if we had other use cases, maybe there's a whiteboard in the room, and we would like to feature that whiteboard into this meeting. Traditionally, you might need an additional hardware camera in order to accommodate this, which could drive up your total cost of ownership in the meeting. However, thanks to the three camera array of the p p fifty, we can take one of those cameras and lock it in on our whiteboard and then present that whiteboard as a actual camera feed into the meeting. Again, this alleviates additional hardware cost in the room in driving down our total cost of ownership, helping us to standardize on this solution throughout a variety of different meeting sizes and shapes.

Atlona's Omega 2 puts 4K video, USB and Ethernet on one Cat 6A cable

Atlona's Omega 2 puts 4K video, USB and Ethernet on one Cat 6A cable

TWICE reports that Atlona added Omega 2 to its Omega Series on Oct. 22, 2026. According to Atlona, the HDBaseT 3.0 lineup carries uncompressed 4K/60 4:4:4 video, USB 2.0 data and Gigabit Ethernet over a single Cat 6A cable at distances up to 330 feet. The company says presenters get one cable and integrators get fewer boxes behind the display.

  • 01Omega products shown in 2019 were rated for up to 330 feet. Atlona says Omega 2, which uses HDBaseT 3.0, moves uncompressed 4K/60 4:4:4 video plus USB 2.0 data and Gigabit Ethernet across a single Cat 6A cable for distances up to 330 feet.
  • 02On the AT-OME2-E2311 transmitter and AT-OME2-D2311 receiver, bi-directional Power over HDBaseT lets either end power the other, so the link runs on one power supply, according to TWICE. That could mean one fewer power supply to mount behind a display.
  • 03Two models, the AT-OME2-E2311 transmitter and the AT-OME2-D2311 receiver, are already available. Atlona expects the AT-OME2-E2321-WP wall plate and the AT-OME2-R2742 switcher to begin shipping in mid-November.
