INTERMEDIA COMMUNICATION SOLUTIONS ENTERS INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH ALTIA SYSTEMS AS EMEA DISTRIBUTOR FOR THE REVOLUTIONARY PANACAST 2® VIDEO CAMERA

PanaCast 2 –  The world’s first 180° Panoramic-4k plug-and-play USB video camera now ships from Europe following distribution agreement

London, England, January 06, 2017 – Intermedia Communication Solutions, specialist supplier of video equipment for the small videoconferencing room or Huddle Room, today announced that it had completed a distribution agreement with Altia Systems or Cupertino, California, USA, makers of the PanaCast 2® 180° Panoramic, 4k plug-and-play USB video camera.

The highly disruptive PanaCast 2 video camera is transforming the way people engage and collaborate over video.  The many features include:

• An ultra-wide, natural looking field-of-view with unparalleled visual clarity and immediate control over direct interaction
• A camera that delivers a 180º wide by 54º tall field-of-view with 3840 x 1080 pixels per frame
• The ability to greatly reduce the optical distortion normally associated with such a wide field which makes it a natural choice for small, so-called Huddle Rooms with no participants remaining out-of-shot
• Being able to virtually ‘look around’ the room by navigating through video stream with familiar multi-touch gestures on personal devices, creating individual views instantaneously from anywhere, and without disturbing other participants

The PanaCast 2 camera works plug-and-play with popular collaboration services such as Microsoft® and Skype®for Business without requiring any driver or software installs.

Javed Tufail, Director Sales and Business Development says, “We welcome Intermedia as a Distributor of PanaCast Cameras and are delighted that a company with Intermedia’s experience has joined the rapidly-expanding PanaCast channel community to represent the product in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. I am pleased that Intermedia will now be able to provide the product in EMEA along with the strong regional support that this remarkable camera deserves.”

Doug Pidduck, founder and CEO of Intermedia Communication Solutions added, “From first sight, I knew that the PanaCast 2 would fill a much needed gap in the fast-growing Huddle Room segment of the video collaboration marketplace.  The trick to successful video meetings has always been to create an outstanding user experience and a big part of that is to make the technology transparent.

The PanaCast 2 frees the user from the tyranny of the much-disliked Pan, Tilt, Zoom or PTZ camera removing one big inhibiting factor to a relaxed and productive video meeting”.
