With the Ricoh 360 Meeting Hub, entire groups are displayed simultaneously, so no one appears distant, and individuals attending remotely can see and hear everyone as if they were there in person.

Manufacturer Overview
Makes remote meetings feel more inclusive, immersive and seamless.
The RICOH 360 Meeting Hub is a 3-in-1 360 camera, speaker and microphone that makes remote and in-person meeting attendees feel like they’re together in the same place.
Remote working has many benefits but for many, video conferences can be a bit of an issue. People feel unconnected as a group and a conference room webcam can let you down. Well, not with our 360 Meeting Hub. In fact, its panoramic 360-degree camera and superior voice pick up (from up to 6 metres away) mean everyone can be seen and heard.
Entire groups are displayed simultaneously, so no one appears distant, and individuals attending remotely can see and hear everyone as if they were there in person. The camera automatically focuses on those speaking and adjusts the image so facial expressions are clear – even up to 3.6 meters away. In addition, Auto Gain Control functionality adjusts the volume so that all participants can be heard equally, and interactions can flow seamlessly.
Thanks to its dual fisheye lens, the device can identify up to 8 individual speakers, and highlight the three most recent participants in high-resolution, larger frames. Whilst acoustic echo cancellation and noise reduction ensure all participants can be heard clearly – even in places with background noise.
Set-up and operation are stress-free and seamless – intuitive plug-and-play functionality means you simply plug the RICOH 360 Meeting Hub into a laptop with no need to configure multiple devices or install complicated software.
Welcome to realistic and life-like remote meetings.
Automatic Image Adjustment
The camera incorporates auto-zoom, contrast, white balance, Anti-Flicker, Local Tone Mapping (LTM) and exposure features. Participants up to 3.6 metres from the unit are displayed in high clarity, showing facial expressions in detail.
Voice Activation at Distance
The unit’s omni-directional microphones pick up all speakers’ voices up to 6 metres from the unit in a 360-degree radius. Even if participants are standing or moving around, interactions can flow seamlessly.
Hear Everyone Clearly
Auto Gain Control automatically adjusts the sound level so that all participants within radius can be heard equally clearly – with no need to manually adjust the volume for different speakers.
High Performance Audio
A HiFi4 DSP audio processing chip and firmware combine with the omni-directional speakers to deliver high-quality sound. Acoustic echo cancellation, noise reduction and simultaneous two-way conversation technology ensure all meeting participants, even those in areas with background noise, can speak and be heard clearly and naturally.
Gives everyone the confidence to participate
360 Panoramic View
The 360-degree high-resolution camera displays all meeting participants in a panoramic view, so everyone is seen equally, and no one appears distant.
Highlights Multiple Participants
The camera identifies up to 8 active participants in the meeting for visual auto-focus, and highlights the 3 most recent speakers in larger frames so that remote attendees can easily see who is speaking, promoting free-flowing conversations.
