The Biamp Vidi 280 is a 4K conferencing camera with two sensors: a 50 MP wide lens for the full room and an 8 MP ultrawide lens for participants seated close to it. Auto-framing keeps the group in shot as people move, and a built-in five-element microphone array handles audio pickup. Certified for Microsoft Teams Rooms and Zoom, it suits boardrooms and medium-to-large meeting rooms in Doha. Request a quote.
Two sensors for near and far seats
The Vidi 280 places a 50 MP wide-angle lens and an 8 MP ultrawide lens in one housing. The wide-angle lens covers the whole room, while the ultrawide lens captures people seated close to the camera, which are the participants most likely to be cropped or shrunk when a single lens is used. In a boardroom with a long table, people at the far end and colleagues beside the screen both appear clearly to the remote side. The ultrawide lens has a horizontal field of view of 122 degrees, and the wide-angle lens has 86 degrees.
Auto-framing, zoom and 4K output
Auto-framing follows the people in the room and adjusts the shot as participants arrive, leave or change seats, so the remote audience keeps a composed picture without anyone operating the camera. The wide-angle lens offers up to 16x electronic PTZ zoom, and the ultrawide lens offers up to 3x digital zoom. Output is available at 720p, 1080p or 4K UHD (2160p), all at 30 fps. The 4K signal gives crops and close-ups more detail to work with, so a presenter stays sharp on a large display.
Connection, mounting and what to plan
A single USB Type-C port carries the connection, supporting USB 3.0 with a USB 2.0 compatibility mode, and the camera draws under 4.5 W through it. At 50 mm high, 65 mm wide, 70 mm deep and 160 g, it is compact enough for the top or bottom of a display, and both mounting positions are included. The optional VMA 200-DM side display mount and VMA 200-WM wall mount cover other layouts. A white camera active indicator LED shows the camera's status.
Where the Vidi 280 fits in Qatar
- Government and ministry boardrooms in Msheireb or Doha: hybrid sessions with colleagues in other cities, where a wide view of the table and a close view of the chair both matter.
- University seminar rooms in Education City: lecturers who move across the front of the room, with students seated near the lens.
- Hotel conference rooms in West Bay: a fixed installation for board meetings with overseas clients, mounted once and used by changing guests.
Planning the installation
Three factors decide how well the Vidi 280 performs. First, the ultrawide lens needs a minimum focus distance of 100 cm and the wide-angle lens 500 cm, so seats closer than a metre to the ultrawide lens will not be sharp. Second, the listed ambient operating range is 0 to 40 degrees Celsius with 0 to 95 percent non-condensing humidity. Qatar summer outdoor temperatures can exceed 45 degrees Celsius, so the camera belongs in an air-conditioned room, not on a terrace or in a window-facing lobby. Third, plan the USB Type-C cable route before installation day.
