Neat has released the Neat Bar Generation 2, a slimmer, more powerful, next-generation Neat Bar for simple video meetings in small to medium-sized rooms.

Delivering audio and video quality for native Zoom or Microsoft Teams meetings in an all-new, design, the Neat Bar Generation 2 offers a wide-angle, highly dynamic 50MP camera, fast video processing and supports dynamic shifting between group and focused participant views.

On the audio side, a five-microphone end-fire array, four voice localisation tracking mics and advanced audio processing algorithms for voice enhancement, echo cancellation, deep noise suppression and dereverberation enable voices to be heard clearly and understandably. Neat Bar Generation 2 also features a voice-optimised sound system while dual speakers with opposing drivers cancel out vibration, maximise tonal range and deliver minimal distortion.

Enhanced machine learning algorithms continuously adjust and adapt to a room’s acoustics, noise and lighting conditions as well as the number of people in the room, where they are and what’s happening around them. An integrated second-generation platform also drives hardware-accelerated audio and video processing directly on the device, not in the cloud.

Technical designed components enable a slender profile that suitably fits thin screens. These components include a well-crafted arrangement of microphones, speakers, a camera, sensors, a power supply and processing, allowing the device to be placed on a table, above or below one or two monitors or wall-mounted and slide effortlessly into our original Neat Bar mounts.

Neat Bar Generation 2 also comes with our dynamic touch-screen meeting controller Neat Pad.
