Overview

The Jabra PanaCast 55 VBS is an all-in-one AI-powered video bar for medium meeting rooms. Three cameras cover a 180-degree horizontal view with 4K output, an eight-microphone array is certified for rooms up to 4.5m x 6m, and four speakers handle the audio. It works with Microsoft Teams and Zoom and can grow with a SpeakerMic and up to five extra cameras. Suited to boardrooms and training rooms across Doha and Lusail.

A single video bar built for medium meeting rooms

The Jabra PanaCast 55 VBS brings camera, microphones and speakers into one AI-powered unit, so a meeting room does not need a separate camera or ceiling microphones. It is designed for medium rooms, and its eight-microphone beamforming array is certified for spaces up to 4.5m x 6m. The main unit measures 730 x 77 x 146 mm and weighs 2259 g, so it sits neatly above a display without dominating the wall.

Microsoft Teams and Zoom certification means the bar fits the meeting platforms most organisations in Qatar already run. The specification also lists native support for Microsoft Teams Room for Android and Zoom Rooms. Appliance mode lets the room run as a dedicated system, while BYOD mode lets a visitor connect their own laptop.

Video and audio figures that shape the purchase

Video: three cameras form a panoramic array with a 180° horizontal and 54° vertical field of view, capturing up to 3840 x 1080 px with 4K output support. Intelligent Zoom, Dynamic Composition and Virtual Director are among its listed framing features.
Audio: eight microphones and four speakers, with two woofers and two tweeters. Noise reduction, echo cancellation and non-speech noise suppression are built in. Audio coverage reaches 7 m, or 11 m with a PanaCast SpeakerMic added.
Zoom: up to 6x lossless digital zoom.
Ports: two HDMI outputs, one HDMI input, Ethernet RJ45, one USB-A, two USB-C, plus Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n/ac and Bluetooth 5.1.

Where it fits in Qatar

In a boardroom in West Bay or Msheireb, the bar lets a hybrid meeting with a team abroad run from one display, with the Jabra Control IP touch panel handling call and room controls. In a training room at a university in Education City or a school in Al Wakrah, the wide view suits seminars where both the presenter and the participants need to be seen. Organisations working in Arabic and English side by side can standardise the same room setup across their sites.

What to plan before installation

Check your room dimensions against the 4.5m x 6m certification and the 7 m or 11 m audio coverage figures.
Plan the Ethernet run for the Jabra Control IP panel, which is powered over Ethernet using IEEE 802.3af; the source lists a PoE power injector.
Confirm the room is air-conditioned, since the operating range is 5°C to 35°C with 15% to 80% humidity.
Allow for the two HDMI outputs and the 1.83 m HDMI cable included in the box.

SmartRooms Qatar offers free site surveys, so wall height, display position and cable routing can be checked before the bar is mounted. Quotations usually follow within one working day.

Questions about PanaCast 55 VBS

What is the Jabra PanaCast 55 VBS designed for?

The Jabra PanaCast 55 VBS is an all-in-one AI-powered video bar for medium meeting rooms. It combines three cameras, four speakers and an eight-microphone array in one unit. The microphone array is certified for rooms up to 4.5m x 6m, which makes it a practical choice for a boardroom or standard training room in Doha, Lusail or Al Sadd where a separate camera and ceiling microphones would add cabling.

Which room sizes suit this model?

The microphone array is certified for rooms up to 4.5m x 6m. Audio coverage is up to 7 m with the bar alone and up to 11 m when the optional PanaCast SpeakerMic is added. A large lecture hall or long boardroom may need the SpeakerMic and additional cameras, so send your room dimensions with your quote request and we will confirm the right configuration.

Is it certified for Microsoft Teams and Zoom?

Yes, the product is listed as Microsoft Teams and Zoom certified. It also supports native third-party applications, including Microsoft Teams Room for Android and Zoom Rooms, with cloud management through Microsoft Teams Admin Center and Zoom Device Management. Content sharing differs by platform: Apple AirPlay works only with Zoom and Microsoft Teams-Cast only with Teams, so confirm your platform before ordering.

Can I extend the system later?

Yes. The source data lists support for one PanaCast SpeakerMic and for up to five additional cameras, so the system can grow when a room changes layout or a team expands. A secondary external USB camera is also supported. The add-ons are described as modular, with no refit needed, and we can quote the extensions that match your current room.

Can it be installed in a hot room in Qatar?

The operating temperature range is 5°C to 35°C, with humidity between 15% and 80%. Outdoor temperatures in Qatar can exceed 45°C in summer, so install the bar only in an air-conditioned room that stays within that range. Confirm the room's cooling and ventilation during the free site survey before the quotation is finalised.

What ports and connections does it have?

The unit has two HDMI outputs, one HDMI input for content sharing, an Ethernet RJ45 port, one USB-A, two USB-C, a 3.5 mm jack, and an Aux-Out. Wireless connectivity covers Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n/ac and Bluetooth 5.1. The box includes a 1.83 m HDMI cable. Check that your display has an HDMI input before you request a quote.

Does the Jabra Control IP panel need a PoE network?

The Jabra Control IP touch panel is powered over Ethernet using IEEE 802.3af, and the source data lists a PoE power injector. The panel has a 10.1-inch landscape display at 1920 x 1200 resolution and two proximity sensors. If your comms cabinet has no PoE-enabled port, plan for the injector during the site survey so the panel sits within reach of the cable run.

How is it mounted and how much space does it need?

The main unit measures 730 x 77 x 146 mm and weighs 2259 g. The integrated hinge fixes to a wall using the wall mount included in the box. It can also be attached to a VESA mount, table stand or tripod. Cable routing supports a tidy finish, and a cable compartment cover is included. A site survey confirms display height and cable route before you buy.

What comes in the box?

The box includes the PanaCast 55 VBS video bar, power supply, wall mount, Jabra Control IP touch panel, privacy cover with sensor, cable compartment cover and tool, one 1.83 m HDMI cable and one regional power cable. The power supply is rated AC 100-240V with 12V 5A output. Check the room's power and network points against this list when you request a quote.

How do IT teams manage devices remotely?

Remote management runs through Jabra Plus, the Jabra Web Console and the VaaS admin portals for Microsoft Teams and Zoom. Administrators can monitor devices, push updates and troubleshoot issues without visiting the room. Access is protected by authenticated admin settings, local accounts, log retrieval and lockdown features such as secure boot and vendor lock, which suits organisations with strict IT policies.

Does it report room conditions and occupancy?

Yes. The product includes integrated people counting plus temperature, humidity, CO2 and TVOC sensors. For a facilities manager in a government office or a university seminar room, that means occupancy and air-quality data can be reviewed alongside meeting use. Confirm how this data is accessed through the manufacturer's admin tools before relying on it for building reports.

What warranty applies and how do we order for a public-sector project?

The product carries a 2-year manufacturer warranty. SmartRooms Qatar supplies it with delivery to all 8 municipalities of Qatar, accepts purchase orders (LPOs) and government tenders including Monaqasat, and accepts payment by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order. Quotations usually follow within one working day, and lead times are confirmed with the quotation based on stock.
