The Microsoft Surface Hub 2 Smart Camera is presented as a camera designed specifically for professional video conferencing, but it is not just another camera since integrates Windows-based softwarewhich gives it that “intelligent” touch that differentiates this peripheral from more traditional ones.
As we’ve anticipated, Microsoft’s Surface Hub 2 Smart Camera is a professional-grade camera, and it’s powered by artificial intelligence, which means that it can be adjusted to different environments and different ambient lighting conditions and depth of field. It has autofocus features that ensure a clear view of participants, no matter where they are in the room.
Delving into the specifications of the Microsoft Surface Hub 2 Smart Camera we realize that it is a very special solution, and that has nothing to do with traditional webcams. This model has:
- 12 MP sensor with a viewing angle of 136 degrees that is capable of maintaining perfect focus in rooms of different sizes.
- It offers a computing power of 1 TFLOP.
- It uses a new algorithm that is capable of automatically working with different key adjustments, such as tilt, and also angle and distortion corrections.
- Its artificial intelligence system can detect people in different postures, and also the lighting conditions of different rooms, and works based on them to make it possible for us to see all the participants in the meeting without problems.
Microsoft has wanted to make it clear from the outset that the Surface Hub 2 Smart Camera it is much more than a camera, and indeed it is. This is important not only for the user to see that this camera is at another level, but also to understand why its price is also higher than that of a traditional camera.
We do not know its sale price in Spain, nor the official launch date, but we do know that in the United States it will arrive with a price of $799.99a very high figure, but understandable considering everything it offers.
