With AI, AV manufacturers have elevated the quality of both audio and video output of their products. For businesses that heavily rely on conferencing solutions today, the impeccable clarity of professional audio and video is essential. Add to this the growing trend of hybrid working established in the workplace, the pursuit of meeting equity also becomes a priority with manufacturers going the extra mile to use AI for fostering deeply immersive visual experiences.
Noteworthy features such as Poly’s DirectorAI, Neat’s Symmetry, and DTEN Smart Framing are such examples. These innovative tools, optimised for many of their single camera devices, present versatile views—from clustering all participants into a singular view or framing everyone separately to zeroing in on active speakers or consistently tracking a designated presenter throughout a session.
Taking video-centric AI advancements a step further recently is Huddly with its ground breaking product, the Huddly Crew. Touted as the world’s inaugural AI-guided multi-camera system, it uses insights from TV and film production. This enables it to edit meeting footage in real-time, giving prime focus to both verbal and non-verbal human interactions.
Audio performance, with the help of AI, is improved with powerful noise removal and audio fencing enhancements that restricted unwanted and distracting sounds from interrupting meetings. Cisco Webex devices have been able to go further with real-time transcription and language translation as well to create more inclusive and engaging meetings.
AI's reach in this domain isn't restricted to audio visual enhancements. Emerging AI tools, like ChatGPT, have laid the foundation for an array of advanced features in unified communication platforms, with Microsoft, Google and Zoom offering solutions. Zoom's recently unveiled AI Companion meticulously analyses video calls, offering a comprehensive summary, astute video highlights, and even assisting participants who might join late.
Taking a different approach, Microsoft's Copilot, when meshed with Microsoft Teams, doesn't just transcribe meetings. It reviews dialogues to underline pivotal actions and smoothly integrates with Microsoft Office tools such as Word, PowerPoint, and Excel, thereby amplifying productivity during collaboration sessions. Google will also provide similar support to Google Workspace users with the use of their Google Duet AI solution.
In a rapidly evolving digital landscape, the blend of AV with AI promises a future of unparalleled communication experiences, underpinning the essence of effective collaboration.
