Key Features of the Jabra PanaCast Series
Jabra PanaCast 20
Key Features
4K Ultra-HD Video
PanaCast 20 uses a 13-megapixel sensor and edge AI to deliver stunning 4K resolution at 30fps. It eliminates grainy or pixelated video common with older webcams, so presenters and remote colleagues see every detail as if they were in person.
Intelligent Zoom
On-board AI keeps the user centered in frame with Intelligent Zoom and automatically adjusts image brightness and color via Intelligent Lighting Optimization. This means, if you lean closer to a low-res camera or move between rooms, the PanaCast 20 smoothly zooms and rebalances so you always look crisp, solving headaches with manual webcam adjustments.
Picture-in-Picture Mode
This unique feature lets you share a close-up of documents or demos while simultaneously showing yourself in a smaller window. Teachers and presenters can do live demos or show products clearly, without having to hold items up to the camera or sacrifice seeing the host.
On-Device Privacy and Security
All video processing happens on the device’s secure chip, keeping data out of the cloud. There’s also an integrated privacy cover for peace of mind. These elements address concerns around data leaks or unwanted eavesdropping, especially important for corporate use.
Plug-and-Play & Certified
A single USB cable connection means anyone can set it up instantly. It’s certified for all major collaboration apps (Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, etc.), so there’s no driver fumbling or compatibility doubt. Plus, ongoing firmware updates via Jabra+ keep the device improving over time.
Compact and Portable
PanaCast 20’s light, clip-on design and included protective case make it truly portable. Whether you work from a café, home office, or client site, it’s only seconds away from intelligent video. This portability solves the pain of getting poor onboard laptop cameras when traveling.
Who is it for?
PanaCast 20 is ideal for remote workers, road warriors, and hot-desking professionals who need premium video on the go. It fits anyone who hosts or attends video calls from different locations – sales reps, consultants, tutors – because it simply clips on and goes. For example, a home-bound executive or hybrid team member benefits from its professional image and noise-free audio without installing bulky hardware. Its portability and USB plug-in also make it perfect for ad-hoc setups in huddle room solutions and small offices that might lack installed AV gear. In short, PanaCast 20 brings studio-quality video to the modern flexible workplace.
Testimonial
"After trying several webcams, I chose the PanaCast 20 for my home office, and it’s been a game-changer. I use it daily for remote team meetings and client presentations, and no matter where I log in – at my desk, a co-working space, or even from the couch – it just works without adjustments. The auto-framing keeps me centered even when I move around, and my colleagues often compliment how clear my image is. Teams and clients have told me they feel more connected because they can see my reactions clearly, which has really improved engagement and trust."

Real World Application
Challenge
A regional sales director was frustrated by poor-quality laptop webcams that made online demos hard for clients to see. She needed a solution that delivered clear visuals and was easy to move between home, office, and customer sites.
Solution
She started using the Jabra PanaCast 20. Now, any meeting room instantly becomes a high-grade video conference. During a product demo, Leila could lean in to show intricate product features without going out-of-focus thanks to the camera’s 4K clarity and Intelligent Zoom. This solved the pain of her previous setups where clients often asked her to repeat or clarify because they “couldn’t see well.” With PanaCast 20, remote collaborations are smooth: she can present confidently, and her team feels more engaged because no one misses any detail.
Jabra PanaCast 50
Key Features
Full-Room 180° 4K Panoramic View
Three 13MP cameras and real-time AI stitching deliver a distortion-free 180° view of the entire room. Now every seat around a large table is captured clearly on video. This eliminates the typical issue of missing participants or warped edges seen with single-lens cameras.
Intelligent Experiences
PanaCast 50’s built-in AI intelligently highlights speakers. The Virtual Director mode automatically reframes the view to focus on who’s talking, making it feel more natural than static wide shots. This resolves the pain point where remote attendees struggle to see the active speaker in multi-person meetings.
Whiteboard Dual-Stream
A second content camera allows presenters to write on whiteboards or flip charts while the main camera still shows everyone in the room. Remote viewers see both the board and participants at once, solving the problem of viewers missing important notes during brainstorming or teaching sessions.
Premium Audio Array
Equipped with eight beamforming microphones and four stereo speakers, PanaCast 50 ensures speech is captured from anywhere in the room and played back with crisp detail. The array also filters out echo and background noise automatically, addressing common audio distractions in larger spaces.
Assistive Listening Support
An Aux-Out jack lets hearing aids and transmitters connect directly. In practice, this makes meetings more inclusive: a hard-of-hearing attendee can clip on a receiver and hear the conference audio in his hearing aid. This feature tackles the challenge of making hybrid meetings accessible to everyone.
Plug-and-Play Deployment
Like the 20, the PanaCast 50 needs only USB connection and power. It can be wall- or stand-mounted with three simple brackets. Its streamlined design keeps the conference room free from clutter. The simplicity resolves common installation headaches of traditional conference cams.Who is it for?
The Jabra PanaCast 50 is purpose-built for small to medium-sized conference rooms, hybrid meeting spaces, and professional work-from-home setups. It’s perfect for teams and individuals who need crystal-clear video, intelligent audio, and seamless collaboration tools to stay productive across different work environments. Whether hosting client calls, brainstorming with distributed teams, or managing daily remote meetings, the PanaCast 50 delivers a natural, in-room experience that makes every conversation more engaging and effective.
Testimonial
"We needed a camera that could cover our long conference table and make everyone feel like they were in the same room. The Jabra PanaCast 50 delivered exactly that. Its 180° view and Virtual Director feature made our presentations and discussions far more inclusive. With Zeal Global’s support in integrating it with Microsoft Teams, our international colleagues now say it feels like they’re sitting together. Meetings run smoother, and no one has to repeat themselves. Compared to our old fixed camera that only showed half the room, the PanaCast 50 has given us true end-to-end view and control."

Challenge
An engineering firm based in Dubai frequently held cross-office status meetings via video. Their old camera only covered three seats of a six-person table, causing confusion and disengagement for those off-camera. Remote managers kept missing side conversations or whiteboard notes.
Solution
The firm’s AV integrator, Zeal Global, suggested installing a Jabra PanaCast 50 in the main meeting room. During one critical design review, the PanaCast 50 seamlessly captured all five in-room attendees plus a presenter at the whiteboard. Its Intelligent Meeting Space mode was even used to exclude people walking by outside the glass office, focusing only on the intended team. Every engineer was clearly visible on the call, and the dual-stream whiteboard mode projected the sketched circuit diagrams to participants in Tokyo as if they were right there. Because of this, project miscommunication dropped dramatically. The natural, face-to-face feel led to quicker consensus on design changes – a direct resolution of their earlier pain point of disjointed remote meetings.
Jabra PanaCast 50 Video Bar System (VBS)
Key Features
All-in-One Video Bar + Touch Controller
This bundle includes the PanaCast 50 camera plus a Lenovo ThinkSmart 10.1″ touchscreen tablet (PanaCast Control) to join and manage calls. Users start meetings and share content with one touch on the console, eliminating fiddling with laptops. The all-in-one design solves the common issue of multiple cables and devices by consolidating them.Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) Flexibility
In addition to native Teams or Zoom, the system supports joining calls from any laptop over USB. This gives organizations flexibility for varied setups and platforms.
Auto-Wake PIR Sensor
The touch console has a motion sensor to automatically wake the system when someone enters the room. This user-friendly feature means no more tapping screens or entering codes after returning from a break.
Single-Cable PoE Connectivity
A single Ethernet cable provides power and data to both the video bar and tablet. This clean setup addresses concerns of cable clutter and power outlet availability.
People Count & Environmental Monitoring
It provides anonymous people counting to track room usage. The tablet also houses air quality sensors so facilities can ensure the space is optimized for meetings. These analytics allow companies to justify their investment with real usage data.
MDEP-Based Integration
Built on the Microsoft Device Ecosystem Platform (MDEP), ensuring deep Teams integration, robust security, and long-term support for enterprise-grade deployments.
Who is it for?
The PanaCast 50 Video Bar System is perfect for medium conference rooms that need an integrated solution. IT managers who want a standardized setup for multiple rooms appreciate its plug-and-play nature and one-touch controller. For example, a Dubai law firm outfitting several client meeting rooms can deploy this system in each. Lawyers simply tap the screen to start sensitive client calls. With the included touch controller and full Teams certification, it’s ideal for any business seeking a corporate AV solution that is powerful yet easy for end-users.
Testimonial
"We needed a robust, future-proof system for our main conference suite, and the PanaCast 50 Video Bar System delivered. Through Zeal Global, we got the premium camera bundled with the controller, which made a huge difference. The touchscreen interface makes meetings accessible to everyone – even non-technical staff can join calls with just a tap. The built-in Room Booking widget and easy device management through Teams Admin Center have freed up our IT team to focus on strategy rather than maintenance. On top of that, we were able to take advantage of promotional pricing for UAE businesses, which made the decision even easier."

Challenge
A UAE marketing agency often had impromptu huddle meetings for campaign pitches, but their existing gear required cumbersome laptop hookups. People missed their slots or had to juggle remotes mid-meeting.
Solution
Zeal Global Expert Nisha S. recommended PanaCast 50 VBS for their main medium conference room. Nisha emphasizes, “With the PanaCast Control tablet, any creative team can start a meeting in seconds—no technical prep needed.” After installation, the agency saw immediate benefits: one marketing director noted that even interns quickly got up to speed on joining video calls. During a recent brainstorming session, the system’s touch controller and camera auto-adjust meant everyone’s inputs were captured without delay. The agency no longer wastes time setting up, so they spend more time pitching and collaborating. The story of this use case illustrates how the PanaCast 50 VBS solved their collaboration pain points by making the tech “just work” whenever inspiration struck.
Jabra PanaCast 50 Room System
Key Features
Complete Integrated System
This is a pre-installed Windows-based meeting room kit. It pairs the PanaCast 50 bar with a Lenovo ThinkSmart compute unit and 10.1” touch display. Users get a full PC, camera, audio, and touchscreen controller in one package, engineered for instant hybrid meetings. It solves the hassle of assembling separate components and cables.
Virtual Director & Touch Control
The embedded AI Virtual Director follows the active speaker as people talk. Combined with the ThinkSmart’s touchscreen, meetings become more “human.” Touch-and-go meeting start means presenters don’t have to plug in laptops – one tap on the display starts the chosen app. These features remove the tech-learning curve for users.
Built-In Assistive Listening
Like the other PanaCast 50 variants, it supports hearing devices via Aux-Out. This means even in a fully-integrated system, there’s no loss of inclusivity – hospitals, courts, or public agencies can ensure ADA compliance.
Who is it for?
The PanaCast 50 Room System is designed for businesses with dedicated conference rooms and an enterprise-class AV setup. Since it is a Windows-based system, it’s especially suited for IT environments that rely on Teams or Zoom Rooms. Its portability between walls (with standard mounting) also allows reuse if rooms are repurposed. The all-in-one nature makes it ideal for companies looking for full-fledged video conferencing with minimal setup.
Testimonial
"We were struggling with multiple booking systems and outdated AV until Zeal Global stepped in. They evaluated our space and set us up with Jabra PanaCast 50 Room Systems, which completely transformed our meetings. Before, people were joining late or calling IT just to ‘make the call work.’ After installation, Zeal provided hands-on training, and now our team uses features like the integrated calendar and one-touch join with ease. The PanaCast 50 Room System has removed friction from every meeting – no more delays from HDMI or login issues, and our partners can start discussions on time."

An international NGO headquarters needed reliable video in its boardrooms for global calls. They had been using mismatched webcams and cables in each room, making every new meeting a tech ordeal.
Solution
Zeal Global’s AV team outfitted all their main rooms with Jabra PanaCast 50 Room Systems. In one success story, when the NGO hosted a cross-continental donor conference, the setup proved flawless. The boardrooms were quickly joined via Teams with a single tap, and PanaCast’s Virtual Director meant every speaker on stage was shown clearly to overseas attendees. The integrated Lenovo hardware made sure the system was secure and easy to update. Internally, this has given the NGO confidence: they can now conduct multi-site meetings “as naturally as if we were all around one table,” says the communication director, addressing their previous pain of jittery, unreliable video links.
Jabra PanaCast 40 VBS
The Jabra PanaCast 40 VBS is a new Android-based video bar designed specifically for small meeting and huddle rooms.
It offers the same 180° field-of-view of the larger 50-series but in a compact form factor – utilizing dual 4K cameras and 4× digital zoom to capture everyone in tight spaces. A single speaker and six adaptive beamforming microphones deliver crystal-clear sound even in acoustically challenging small rooms.
The PanaCast 40 VBS is compatible with Microsoft Teams Rooms (Android) and Zoom, or can run as a BYOD device, giving organizations deployment flexibility. It retains clever features for quick setup, like provisioning in-box and easy cable routing, making it perfect for rapidly equipping underutilized huddle spaces.

Who is it for?
The PanaCast 40 VBS is ideal for modern small collaboration spaces. It is ideal for creative agencies, start-ups, or satellite offices where teams huddle around a small table or even meet in phone booths.
It’s “everything you need” packed into one bar for rooms that can’t fit a PanaCast 50.
Its compact, wall- or screen-mountable design addresses the challenge of tight spaces that traditional video bars can’t capture. Plus, by sharing the same touch controller and accessories as the 50 VBS, IT teams can use one set of instructions and hardware across their office, simplifying rollouts.

Testimonial
"We were eagerly awaiting the PanaCast 40 Video Bar System because it promised the quality of the 50 VBS in a smaller package. When it arrived, it delivered exactly as advertised – the 180° view makes our two-meter meeting nook feel twice as large. The combined audio and video quality is far beyond what generic USB cameras can offer. Since the PanaCast 40 VBS runs on the same Android platform as the larger systems, our team already knew how to use it right away."

Hema, Sales manager at Zeal Global UAE, has just started introducing the newly launched PanaCast 40 VBS, which began shipping this month, to clients like marketing agencies and design firms.
“In an agency conference room with a glass wall and a small oval table – with older cameras, three participants are instantly out of frame,” she explains. With the PanaCast 40 VBS, everyone stays visible and the presentation content is clear without crowding. Early adopters especially praise its voice pickup, ensuring participants at the edges are heard. This transforms even a cosy huddle space into a fully equipped collaboration room.
