Neat Center is a companion device that lets remote meeting attendees follow the conversation more closely by clearly hearing and seeing everyone in the room, even when those in the room are far away from the main device or facing inward, discussing something among themselves. It’s simple to set up, gives you flexible placement options, and further improves the capabilities of your Neat devices for enhanced context and engagement.

Neat Center extends the Neat Symmetry experience by giving remote participants the best view of everyone in the room. When people in the room are looking away from Neat main device or at someone across the table, Neat Center will help make sure remote participants can still see them. Neat main Devices are already doing a good job on clear voice pickup, noise reduction and dereverberation. Neat Center is further improving audio quality by applying the same audio processing while being closer to where people are.

Neat Center works well in rooms and spaces that we currently support, solving challenges for remote participants to feel included when the conversation shifts to happen between people in the room. Placing or hanging Neat Center approximately in the center of a table or a meeting space, allows shifting the receivers view perspective following the dynamic of the meeting. This will

especially improve the experience in scenarios where people in the room are facing away from the screen of the main Neat device, or sit in a way where some people are hidden behind others.

We are NOT recommending Neat Center in rooms that are much larger than what Neat Bar Pro can support. Neat Bar Pros are well suited for larger rooms of up to 25 to 30 participants.

For most scenarios, Neat Center will provide high quality audio and video up to 10 feet/3 meters. Neat Center will be closer to people, picking up everyone around the table at high fidelity. With 16x mic in a circular array beams can be formed in any direction. The 3x lens camera system will be able to pick up people in any direction.

Neat Center frames those in the meeting space centered around the conversation. Neat Center will capture people and group them using Neat Symmetry intelligence. Neat Symmetry will work the same way for Neat Center as familiar with Neat main devices. People sitting close to each other might be captured in the same frame.

Like all Neat devices, Neat Center is a breeze to set up and install, with just a single cable for network and power and then you add your Neat Center to Neat main device from System Settings.
