This article tells you what Dual Positioning Technology is and its benefits to you and your hybrid work.

What is Dual Positioning Technology

When it comes to dual positioning, there are many contexts that may come to mind. At Coolpo, we use it to define our AI Algorithms in our AI Huddle Pana when it actively looks for active meeting participants using visuals and sounds. It uses these two cues to locate or determine the “position” of human beings engaged in the hybrid meeting and using the huddle camera.

What is a Huddle Camera?

Huddle cameras, 360 conference cameras, and Coolpo cameras are all designed for use in small to medium meeting spaces. These cameras are typically compact in size (or tabletop style), and have a wide field of view, allowing them to capture a complete view of the meeting space without taking up too much room.

  • One of the key similarities between these cameras is their ability to provide high-quality video and audio. All of them are capable of capturing clear and detailed images and sounds, allowing participants to see and hear each other clearly during meetings.
  • Another similarity is their flexibility and versatility. These cameras can be used for different use cases, making them easy to set up and use in a variety of meeting spaces. They also have a range of connectivity options, including USB and HDMI, and some even have wireless capabilities, so they can be used with a variety of devices and platforms.
  • Finally, all of these cameras are designed to be user-friendly and easy to operate. They typically have simple and intuitive controls, allowing even non-technical users to quickly set them up and start using them for meetings.

Overall, huddle cameras, 360 conference cameras, and Coolpo cameras share many similarities, making them suitable for use in small to medium meeting spaces. These cameras are capable of providing high-quality video and audio, are flexible and versatile, and are easy to use, making them a valuable tool for remote collaboration and communication.

Benefits of Huddle Cameras

One of the key benefits of this camera is its ability to capture a complete 360-degree view of the meeting space. This means that everyone in the room can be seen, regardless of where they are sitting or standing. This is especially useful for large meetings with multiple participants, as it ensures that no one is left out of the frame.

The camera also uses smart microphones to pick up sounds from the meeting space. This allows it to locate active participants based on the sounds they are making, such as speaking or typing on a keyboard. This means that the camera is able to automatically focus on the person who is speaking, providing a clear and detailed view of their face and upper body.

In addition to its advanced dual positioning technology, this 360 conference camera also offers exceptional video and audio quality. With a 4K resolution and high dynamic range (HDR) support, the camera is able to capture clear and vibrant images with accurate color reproduction. The smart microphones are also able to pick up sounds with crystal-clear clarity, ensuring that every word is heard clearly.

Another advantage of this camera is its flexibility and versatility. It can be mounted on a tripod or placed on a flat surface, making it easy to set up in any meeting space. It also has a wide range of connectivity options, including USB, HDMI, and Bluetooth, so it can be used with a variety of devices and platforms.

What Huddle Cameras have Dual Positioning Technology?

A good example of dual positioning technology used in a huddle camera is Coolpo’s AI Huddle Pana. It is a 360 conference camera with a fish-eye camera, 4 intelligent microphones, and an all-surround speaker. 

It uses algorithms developed in-house by company engineers altogether called “Meeting Flex Technology”. Firstly, the fisheye camera captures a 360 view of the room, stitched perfectly together to form a panorama display. Like most conference cameras in the industry, speaker tracking is also applicable to the AI Huddle Pana. It identifies everyone who is speaking and intuitively selects them in individual frames above the panorama. However, speaker tracking is not enough to capture everyone within the spotlight. So the AI Huddle Pana has additional features that make an excellent video conference camera.

Next, the same camera actively identifies individuals in the room: movements, mannerisms, facial expressions, and other small details one sees clearly during face-to-face meetings but not with traditional front-facing video conference cameras.
