With all-in-one devices becoming more and more attractive, Boom Collaboration has unveiled a powerful new “intelligent” video bar.
The US-based manufacturer has announced Boom AURA, a stylish video bar with built-in AI features designed to deliver superior meetings.

The all-in-one AURA offers a smart, professional user experience backed by intelligent hardware that powers better meetings. simply. This is the view of Fredrik Herrnqvist, who founded Boom his collaboration with co-founder Holly Hewlett in 2020.
Holy Grail

“AURA offers many great features to create a complete conferencing solution that combines stylish design with high performance and ease of use.”

“Despite the growing popularity of video bars, they have limitations, especially in large rooms where people are sitting far apart,” Hewlett stressed. “Equipped with optical zoom, he PTZ cameras offer the ultimate in visual performance and, for example, when paired with the expandable wireless audio system GEMINI, often result in a better experience.
“We also just introduced the Boom GOJO multi-camera controller, which makes it easy to add a new dimension to meetings and live events by utilizing multiple PTZ cameras.”
“Boom Collaboration offers solutions for every type of room, from telecommuters to large conference rooms, and raises the bar on performance and convenience, whether it’s all-in-one or more powerful PTZ camera technology. .” The popularity of bars and cameras remains high. ”
