Meeting rooms rarely stay the same from one booking to the next, and the Lumens VC-B30U Black earns its place precisely because it adapts to whoever walks in. At its core sits a Sony 1/2.8" CMOS sensor rated at 2.41 megapixels, paired with a 12x optical zoom lens spanning 3.92 to 47.32 mm. That reach lets a single unit frame one presenter in tight detail or pull back across a full round-table discussion, while the motorised head sweeps −100° to +100° and tilts 30° up or down. With a 72° horizontal field of view and a 1.6 lux low-light threshold, faces stay readable in dim rooms lit only by a screen.
Connectivity is where this PTZ camera shows its dual nature. A single USB 3.0 cable turns it into a plug-and-play UVC source for Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Webex or Skype, with no extra drivers to chase down before a call. Run the HDMI output at the same time and the picture reaches a large in-room display, a hardware encoder for live streaming, or a recorder capturing the session for later review. Over HDMI the camera delivers a smooth 1080p at 60 fps, while the USB path carries Full HD at 30 fps for conferencing platforms — a split worth knowing when you plan a hybrid setup that feeds both remote guests and an on-site audience.
Control bends to how your operators actually work. Lumens' camera-control utility for Windows and macOS drives pan, tilt and zoom from a desktop, the bundled infrared remote handles quick adjustments from the table, and an RS-232 line opens the door to integration with a hardware joystick controller. Up to 128 preset positions can be stored, so a lecture-capture rig in a teaching space or a multi-camera relay in a council chamber can jump between framings in an instant. WDR, 3D noise reduction and auto white balance hold the image steady as light shifts through the day, and Barco ClickShare Conference compatibility slots it neatly into bring-your-own-meeting environments.
For an integrator weighing total cost against years of service, the Lumens VC-B30U Black is a measured choice: power draw stays under 13 W, the standard 5-year warranty trims the risk behind every quote, and the body mounts cleanly to a wall bracket or ceiling fixture for a permanent install. It suits telemedicine consultations, distance-learning theatres and corporate boardrooms alike, and because it pushes the same feed to a conferencing app and an internal IPTV channel at once, one camera can serve remote participants and in-house viewers without a second purchase.

Focus on Your Meeting
The VC-B30U's optical zoom lens and robotic pan and tilt mechanism means that it can adapt to each meeting you hold. The panoramic 72°(H) 80°(D) viewing angle can be adjusted thanks to the 12x optical zoom lens that helps users capture all guests in the frame. To shoot the correct angle, the camera quickly pans from -100° to +100° and tilts from -30° to +30°. Whether the room is hosting a single attendee or round table discussion, the camera will meet your needs.
Fingertip Control
Control the VC-B30U with Lumens' USB PTZ Camera Control Software for Mac and PC. Alternatively, use the included infrared control or an RS-232 controller (not supplied). The camera supports 128 preset positions. With this fantastic feature, users can quickly switch camera settings for different types of meetings and room layouts. The VC-B30U can pan, tilt and zoom to a preset position of your choice, whether to zoom in on a single presenter or to capture guests on a particular side of a meeting table.
Dual Connectivity
The VC-B30U connects to the host PC or Mac via USB running popular video conferencing applications such as Teams, WebEx, Skype, and Zoom. The HDMI port can be used to route the camera's output simultaneously to a large format display in the room. The HDMI output can also be connected to a video processor for streaming and recording, or distribution over the local IP network.
Applications
• Unified Collaboration: Compliant with Barco ClickShare and all popular UC applications, VC-B30U is the ideal camera for interactive meetings of 1-10 guests.
• Telemedicine and Online Education: The ability of the camera to pan, tilt, and zoom makes it a great option for eLearning and distance education. The VC-B30U can capture a presentation, demonstration and experiment, switching quickly between presets, lens settings, and camera positions.
• Internal Communications: The dual HDMI/USB outputs of the camera mean that the VC-B30U can be used to communicate with remote attendees using a video conferencing app at the same time as internal guests watch live via their organization’s IPTV platform.
