AnkerWork Launches B600 Video Conferencing Bar

AnkerWork, developer of unique conferencing solutions that enhance the hybrid work experience, today launched the AnkerWork B600, its first all-in-one video conferencing bar that combines a 2K camera, 4-mic array, dual speakers and smart LED light bar. The B600 was unveiled as a CES Award honoree during CES 2022 and is available for purchase starting today.
Four-In-One Design
The AnkerWork B600 is a four-in-one remote communication and collaboration video bar that is designed to solve your work-from-home challenges by eliminating desk clutter, distracting sounds and poor lighting during meetings. The B600 seamlessly integrates four capabilities into a single device: a 2K conference camera, intelligent noise reduction microphone array, high-quality speakers, and built-in automated lighting. Equally ideal for using at home or at the office, the compact device mounts easily on an external monitor while helping you maintain a neat and tidy workspace.
“The hybrid work model is requiring consumers to invest in multiple conferencing solutions – lights, mics, cameras and more – to stay connected with their colleagues,” said Eric Villines, Head of Global Communications at Anker Innovations. “The B600 is the first all-in-one video conferencing bar to offer a true plug and play studio experience. It makes everyone look and sound more professional while removing excess clutter in the workspace.”
Excellent Audio and Video Performance
AnkerWork’s B600 features a 2K video camera with auto-focus, field-of-view adjustment, and image enhancement to deliver a professional video experience from any location.
The B600 also features VoiceRadar™, an intelligent vocal radar technology that leverages four highly sensitive mics to detect, isolate and enhance the user’s voice audio from different directions. In addition, its 2X2W speakers incorporate directional beamforming technology that deliver incredible sound even in the noisiest of environments.
The AnkerWork B600 can be used with most current video conference platforms to provide vibrant video and crystal-clear audio to ensure users look and sound their best no matter where they are.

Innovative Built-in Light
Through MagicSight™ intelligent lighting technology, the B600 can accurately compensate for any lighting conditions in the home office. The B600 analyzes facial lighting through the camera and calculates the ideal lighting requirements for a perfect image. The B600 also delivers automated lighting adjustment through its built-in LED light bar to ensure users look their best in any setting. Color temperature and brightness can be adjusted using the AnkerWork app.
The integrated light panel design combines both privacy and lighting functions. When closed, the light panel acts as a privacy shield by covering the camera. The lighting panel can also be used as a reading light.

Anker Launches Smart AI-Enabled Webcam and Portable Noise-Isolating Conference Speaker. #AnkerWork #Home #Office #WFH

Anker Innovations, a global leader in mobile charging and consumer electronics, today announces two products under the AnkerWork product line, including the PowerConf C300, Smart AI-enabled HD webcam and the PowerConf S500 Portable Conference Speaker.

“For many, working from home has been a dream come true, but it also brings its own unique challenges; distracting pets, family, poor lighting, as well as power and cable management issues, to name a few,” said Steven Yang, Founder and CEO of Anker Innovations. “AnkerWork products have been designed to help address many of these issues, while providing solutions that are portable and can be easily used in the home, the office and on the road.”

PowerConf C300 Smart HD Webcam

The PowerConf C300 is AnkerWork’s first 1080p, Full HD webcam with a built-in AI chipset, that provides a high-quality image with accurate colour reproduction and unparalleled low-light performance. With three field-of-view choices; 78-degrees for close-ups, 90-degrees for a mid-view or 115-degrees for the widest field of view, users can customise the experience that meets their needs – whether showing something on a whiteboard or keeping pets and family out of frame.

 

The C300’s A.I. also offers smart framing that helps keep an individual or group members cantered on screen – though it will only reframe a subject’s deliberate movements, so they can take a sip of water off camera, without shifting focus. Dual stereo microphones also ensure great sounding audio.

PowerConf S500 Portable Conference Speaker

The PowerConf S500 builds on the success of the original PowerConf products, adding four upgraded microphones featuring Anker’s new proprietary VoiceRadar™ technology. VoiceRadar uses beamforming and enhanced Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) to pick up the voice of the person speaking while ignoring surrounding noises to ensure a great sounding experience for all parties.

The S500 can be used with the AnkerWork app (on Android and iOS) which lets users choose one of three pickup patterns for different use case scenarios. These include traditional conference room environments with multiple people, a single person presenting to others as well as using the S500 as a microphone for live streaming.

Additionally, two units can be paired together for larger conference rooms and upgraded 10 watts of power offers great sound for conference calls or for listening to music.

 Availability and Pricing:

The PowerConf C300 is available today through Amazon, Anker.com, and select retailers for $129.99 in the US; €129.99 in Germany, and £119.00 in the UK.

The PowerConf S500’s pricing and availability will be announced at a later date. Additional products under the AnkerWork brand will be announced in the coming weeks.
