Businesses today face the challenge of preparing for sudden, unpredictable situations and events that both jeopardize continuity and necessitate a shift from mostly on-premises to largely distributed operations. Dolby Voice Huddle can help employers empower remote workforces to be as effective working from the home office as they would be face-to-face with more natural and productive meeting experiences. Dolby’s video and audio technologies combine to capture details as vividly as if everyone is in the same room, whether calling from a flex room, a board room, or even a home office.
Dolby Voice Huddle combines a wide-angle 1080p camera, spatial microphone array and processing into one compact device. This affordable solution includes an intuitive touch controller for easy meeting management, satellite microphone for balancing voices in challenging room environments, and free enterprise management tools. The flexibility of the new Dolby Voice Huddle solution addresses business needs around shift to distributed and remote workforces.
Audio specifications detail the use of advanced audio processing, including noise suppression, acoustic echo cancellation, voice separation. The full duplex solution supports DVC-2/G.711a/G.711u/G.722/G.729ab and Opus audio codecs with a frequency response from 160Hz to 16kHz . The system's microphone is able to capture voice within a 4.5m (15ft) range. There's also an audio output through HDMI.
“It’s never been more critical for businesses to enable lifelike communications that keep people engaged,” says Andrew Border, Vice President, Communications Business Group, Dolby. “Dolby Voice Huddle plays a crucial role in our mission of providing exceptional meeting experiences for meeting spaces of any kind and size by equipping huddle rooms and personal offices through our valued partners.”
