Robotic camerawork without an operator on hand is what makes the Lumens VC-B30U White earn its place in huddle spaces and mid-sized boardrooms. A Sony 1/2.8" 2.41MP CMOS sensor sits behind a 12x optical zoom lens, so a presenter at the far end of a 6-metre table stays sharp and well-exposed even under the mixed lighting that plagues most conference rooms. The motorised head sweeps from -100° to +100° horizontally and tilts across a +30° to -30° range at 100° per second, fast enough to land on a speaker before they finish their opening sentence.
Two outputs run at once. Over USB 3.0 the camera registers as a standard UVC device, plug-and-play across Windows, macOS, Linux and Chrome OS, feeding a clean 1080p signal straight into Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Webex or Skype with no driver hunt. The HDMI output works in parallel at up to 1080p 60fps, which lets you mirror the shot on a room display while routing the same feed to an encoder for recording or for relay across the building's IP network. That dual path is what turns the VC-B30U White into a quiet workhorse for telemedicine consults, distance-learning lectures and town-hall broadcasts where remote and in-room audiences watch simultaneously.
Operators control the camera through Lumens' own PTZ software on Mac or PC, the bundled infrared remote, or an RS-232 line into a joystick controller for multi-camera production. 128 preset positions hold framing, zoom, focus and white-balance settings, so switching between a wide group shot and a tight single is a one-button move during a live session. Compatibility with Barco ClickShare Conference and Zoom certification mean the unit drops into BYOM meeting rooms that production houses are increasingly asked to specify and support.
Picture quality holds up where it counts. Wide Dynamic Range and 3D noise reduction keep faces clean against bright windows or dim back rows, minimum illumination reaches 1.6 lux, and auto or manual control over focus, exposure, gain and white balance gives technical buyers the override they expect. With a draw under 13W, RS-232 in and out for daisy-chained control, and a five-year warranty behind it, the Lumens VC-B30U White is a dependable fixture for integrators building rooms that have to perform on the first take and keep performing for years.

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.
