At InfoComm 2014, AMX, a Harman Professional brand, introduced its new Sereno Video Conferencing Camera, part of the AMX Enzo platform. Sereno provides essential features for small room conferencing in an attractive design and affordable price.
With no cameras on the market that capably combine the features and affordability users need for small room web conferencing, AMX opted to design and build a conferencing camera from scratch.
In addition to high definition AV capture, Sereno also includes two important features rarely found in an affordable camera: a way to ensure that everyone in the room can be seen during a web conference and the option to disable the camera and microphone to safeguard sensitive meetings. These were both features that were particularly suited to web conferencing in small rooms, however Sereno is an ideal camera for supporting web conferences in any sized meeting space.
Sereno includes an ultra-wide field of view to allow everyone sitting in just about any sized room, large or small, to be easily seen on the other end of the conference. Additionally a swivel mount was integrated to allow the camera to easily be angled towards any one area of the room. To safeguard meeting room privacy, Sereno features mechanical video and audio shutters to protect what can be seen and heard in a meeting room. Electronic AV shutters are an unreliable and unacceptable option as they do not offer meeting attendees the absolute confidence that mechanical shutters can provide to ensure that only people physically located in the room are part of the meeting.
