When to Choose Jabra PanaCast 50 VBS
Wide or L-shaped meeting rooms that need 180-degree coverage with AI-powered speaker tracking
The Jabra PanaCast 50 VBS stands out with its unique 180-degree panoramic view — no other video bar covers as wide a field. The Virtual Director AI creates polished, broadcast-style views that make remote participants feel more included. The triple-camera stitching is impressive but not seamless. Best for rooms where wall-to-wall coverage is essential.
Strengths
- 180-degree panoramic field of view using triple-camera stitching — widest coverage in class
- Virtual Director AI creates broadcast-style speaker-focused views automatically
- Intelligent Zoom dynamically adjusts framing based on participant positions
- Eight-microphone array with Jabra's proven noise cancellation technology
Limitations
- Triple-camera stitching can produce visible seams in challenging lighting
- VBS compute module adds complexity and cost to installation
- Fan noise from VBS compute unit reported in some installations
When to Choose Poly Studio X32
Huddle rooms and small meeting spaces (2-8 people) that want Poly's integrated compute and AI features at a lower price
The Poly Studio X32 brings Poly's all-in-one approach to smaller rooms at a much more accessible price point. NoiseBlockAI and integrated Zoom/Teams compute are included, and Poly Lens management works identically to the larger models. The best entry point into Poly's ecosystem for smaller spaces.
Strengths
- Compact all-in-one with integrated Zoom and Teams compute at an accessible price
- Same NoiseBlockAI and Acoustic Fence as higher-end Poly models
- Poly Lens cloud management included for enterprise deployment
- Ideal for huddle rooms and small meeting spaces
Limitations
- Limited to ~8 participants — not suitable for medium or large rooms
- Single camera limits AI framing capabilities compared to X52/X72
- Audio pickup range designed for small spaces only
