If you’re searching for the top Conference Room Technology for Hybrid Meetings and want a detailed breakdown of how PeopleLink uses AI, you’ve come to the right place. This guide provides a comprehensive overview of our built-in AI. We will explain the specific technologies, show you which products have them, and demonstrate how they create a better Hybrid Meeting Room Experience for everyone.
Why Your Hybrid Meeting Room Needs an AI Upgrade
One of the biggest challenges of Designing Hybrid Meeting Rooms is choosing technology that can keep up with modern hybrid demands. If you’re using older equipment in your hybrid meeting rooms, you’ve probably seen that you are not getting the best video conferencing experience out of your hybrid workspace. The reason for it is that these older equipment are lacking something that you absolutely need in a hybrid room environment.
Why are you not getting the Best Hybrid Meeting Room Conference Experience?
The primary issue is that the older equipment you are using is manual in nature. They require someone in the meeting to constantly control the devices to put the right person in focus so that everyone can see and hear them clearly. But the nature of a hybrid room is different. In this environment, you have people joining from the office and from remote locations.
So, every time someone is adjusting the camera in the meeting, it is actually breaking the natural flow of conversation. For remote participants, this creates a disconnected and unfair experience. For them, this experience feels like watching a television without knowing who is speaking.
How AI Really Makes a Difference
Fortunately, we have reached a point where AI hybrid solutions are now available. Such solutions are bringing the concept of automation to video conferencing meetings. These intelligent systems are designed in a way that they manage the video and audio independently without needing any human to do anything. When most of these manual control operations become automatic, it removes the technical burden from your team. Now they can focus completely on the conversation and get the most out of these collaborative meetings.
What AI Technologies has PeopleLink developed and integrated into its hardware?
Seeing the problem of the hybrid work model, PeopleLink has also developed AI technologies and integrated them into our hardware solutions. Let’s see them one by one:
Simple Look at PeopleLink’s AI Technology
- AI Speaker Tracking: The main video AI feature is speaker tracking. This technology figures out who is talking in a room and automatically points a special Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) camera at them for a close-up view. The most amazing thing about this feature is that it can tell the difference between someone speaking and other background noises.
- AI Auto-Framing & Group Framing: Auto-framing is different from speaker tracking. It makes sure that everyone in the meeting room is in the picture. If someone joins the meeting, leaves, or moves to a different seat, the camera’s AI automatically adjusts the view to keep everyone perfectly framed.
- AI Presenter & Humanoid Tracking: This is a more advanced type of tracking for situations like someone giving a big presentation. It uses special programming to follow a teacher and can also notice when a student stands up to ask a question, automatically turning to focus on them.
- Adaptive Noise Suppression (ANS): This technology is a smart way to separate human voices from background noise. These features designed to find and remove common sounds like air conditioning, typing, or rustling papers. The “adaptive” part is important because the system is always listening to the room’s sounds. Instead of using a simple filter, it creates a custom noise profile for the room and removes those specific sounds, making voices come through clearly.
- Adaptive Echo Cancellation (AEC): Echo happens when a microphone picks up the sound from its own speakers, which can be very distracting. PeopleLink fixes this with a smart “all-band adaptive echo cancellation” system. The AI knows what sound is coming out of the speakers. If it hears that same sound going into the microphones, it removes it instantly. This gets rid of echo without cutting off people’s voices, which can happen with older systems.
- Automatic Gain Control (AGC) & Smart Mixing: Automatic Gain Control is a smart feature that adjusts the microphone volume automatically. This makes sure that everyone is heard at a good, steady volume, whether they talk loudly, quietly, or are sitting far from the mic. When a room has several microphones, “Smart Mixing” technology, found in the cleverly combines the sound from all of them. The AI gives priority to the microphone closest to the person talking, which creates a clean and balanced sound for everyone listening remotely.
Which Specific PeopleLink Products Have These AI Capabilities?
Understanding the unique hybrid meeting challenges that vary based on room size, we have incorporated AI technologies into our products to create the perfect solution for any hybrid meeting space. Let’s see them one by one:
AI-Powered Cameras and Videobars
The clearest use of AI in PeopleLink’s lineup is in its cameras and videobars. These products are designed to automate the video and make meetings more engaging and fair for everyone.
- Speaker Track & Speaker Track Pro Camera: These are PeopleLink’s top AI tracking cameras. They have two lenses that work together: one shows a wide view of the whole room, and the other provides a close-up of the person speaking. By using sound and video information, these cameras can find the speaker and automatically switch between the wide and close-up views, creating a professional video without anyone needing to control it.
- iCam FHD-LT 20x Teacher/Student Tracking: This is a special AI camera made for schools. It has a two-camera system and unique programming for the classroom. One camera follows the teacher, while the other watches the students. If a student stands up to speak, the camera automatically focuses on them. This makes online learning more interactive.
- Eagle 4K Webcam: This product shows that powerful AI can fit into a small device perfect for a desk, home office, or a small Office digital huddle. The Eagle 4K includes advanced AI features like Auto Framing, which keeps everyone in the picture, and AI Humanoid Tracking, which uses smart technology to smoothly follow a presenter.
- All-in-One Videobars (AIO Alpha, 4K AF Camera-Soundbar Plus, i20 Plus Videobar): These products combine a 4K camera, microphones, and speakers into one device that is easy to set up. They are designed to bring AI to smaller meeting rooms with a simple, plug-and-play setup. They have built-in AI features like AI Group Framing and Speaker Tracking, offering a smart and clutter-free solution for a true smart conferencing experience.
3.2 AI-Enhanced Audio Systems
While “AI” is often used to describe video products, the smart technology inside PeopleLink’s audio equipment is just as important. This intelligence is often described in technical terms, but it is based on smart, adaptive technology.
- Pro Audio DSP & Multichannel AIO DSP: These devices are also called the “brains” of the audio system. They contain PeopleLink’s best audio technology, including “adaptive echo cancellation” and “adaptive noise reduction.” They capture sound from multiple microphones and utilize AI to filter and mix it, producing a clear audio feed for listeners in other locations.
- Quad Speakerphone Series (6 & 12): These advanced speakerphones have a built-in “AI voice algorithm.” While they have standard audio processing (AEC, AGC, ANS), the “AI” label suggests they use a smarter, more adaptive system. This enables them to offer improved noise reduction and clearer voice pickup in busy conference rooms.
- DSP-CM Ceiling Microphones: The intelligence of these microphones comes from how they work with a central audio processor. The microphones are mounted on the ceiling to pick up voices from a wide area. When the sound is sent to a device like the Pro Audio DSP, the system’s AI features—like adaptive noise suppression and smart sound mixing—are used to ensure clear audio is captured from anywhere in the room without messy cables on the table.
The Difference: AI-Powered vs. Non-AI Products
To understand the value of this upgrade, it’s helpful to see the practical difference between a standard, non-AI device and an AI-powered one.
When you compare such devices, you will find the biggest difference is the shift from manual meeting to a truly smart AI conference. Non-AI equipment requires you to operate it by hand. However, with AI equipment, the machine algorithm does the heavy lifting and helps run the meeting with no human effort.
Here is a simple table that will show you the direct comparison between these two devices:
How PeopleLinl’s AI-driven Solutions are Transforming the Hybrid Meeting Room
The true value of AI-powered meeting technology lies not in its specifications, but in the experience it provides. To see the profound difference PeopleLink’s solutions make, let’s compare two versions of the same important hybrid meeting.
Side-by-Side: The Results of the AI Upgrade
From Disconnected to Engaged
- Before: Remote workers are stuck watching a static, wide-angle shot where it’s impossible to see facial expressions or feel the energy of the discussion. This makes them feel like outsiders, creating a significant barrier to effective remote collaboration.
- After: With AI-powered Speaker Tracking and Auto Framing, the experience is completely transformed. The camera intelligently directs the focus, giving remote attendees clear, TV-quality close-ups of each speaker. This allows them to see every expression as if they were in the room, creating a welcoming environment where everyone feels equally seen and important, helping them become equal participants in the conversation.
From Awkward to Effortless
- Before: The meeting is frequently interrupted by the clumsy process of someone struggling to control the camera with a remote. The natural flow of conversation is broken by requests for adjustments, distracting everyone from the actual discussion.
- After: The meeting flows naturally and without interruption. PeopleLink’s AI acts as a silent director, handling all the camera work smoothly and automatically. This allows everyone to focus completely on the conversation, knowing the technology is perfectly capturing the meeting without any human intervention.
From Distracting to Clear
- Before: Poor audio quality is a constant problem that leads to confusion and listening fatigue. Background noise from air conditioning or rustling papers often overpowers the speaker’s voice, forcing remote attendees to struggle to hear every word.
- After: PeopleLink’s advanced audio systems utilize smart technology, including built-in Adaptive Echo Cancellation, which eliminates distracting echo, and Adaptive Noise Suppression, which intelligently identifies and removes background sounds. This ensures that only human voices are sent through, so every word is heard clearly, no matter where a person is sitting.
Why PeopleLink Offers the Top Conference Room Technology for Hybrid Meetings
You probably now know that to improve your hybrid meeting rooms, you need the right hybrid meeting conference room technology. And to do that, you have to invest in buying AI-powered hardware solutions over non-AI hardware.
