1. All-in-One Conference Room Solutions: Core Components

1.1 What is an all-in-one conference room Solution?

An all-in-one conferencing system is an integrated hardware solution designed for group video conferencing. It consolidates essential audiovisual components—including a high-definition camera, microphone array, speaker unit, and display (or projector)—into a single, compact device. This integration reduces the need for multiple standalone peripherals and simplifies cabling and installation complexity. Its primary objective is to streamline deployment and facilitate a more user-friendly conferencing experience in modern hybrid work environments.

Most all-in-one conferencing units are equipped with embedded computing platforms (typically based on Android or Windows OS), enabling native support for mainstream video conferencing applications such as Zoom and Google Meet. This eliminates the dependency on external PCs or laptops, which are often required in traditional conferencing setups and can introduce additional points of failure or operational friction.

Installation is typically centralized—devices are mounted above or below the room's primary display—providing a clean aesthetic and optimal positioning for camera and audio pickup. Many systems also offer dedicated touch controllers or wireless control interfaces, enhancing user interaction and meeting room control. Compared to conventional modular conferencing systems, all-in-one solutions offer reduced deployment time, a smaller physical footprint, and a more cohesive user experience.

• Brightness

Projector brightness is measured in ANSI lumens—the higher the brightness, the more expensive the projector tends to be. Note that some manufacturers use "center lumens" instead of ANSI lumens, which only measures brightness at the center of the screen and cannot be directly compared to ANSI ratings.

Screen brightness is affected by both the projector’s light output and the screen’s reflectivity, known as gain. A gain of 1.0 means the screen reflects all incoming light directly back to the viewing position. Screens with gain above 1.0 increase brightness at the center but reduce it at wider angles, making them ideal for focused viewing. Low-gain screens provide more uniform brightness across a wider viewing area, making them suitable for group settings.

Additionally, screen color and material influence overall brightness and contrast. White screens are ideal for dark rooms, while Ambient Light Rejecting (ALR) screens are better suited for well-lit environments.

• Throw Distance

Throw ratio plays a critical role in determining the distance between the projector and the screen or wall to achieve the desired image size. Based on throw ratio, projectors are generally categorized into three types: ultra-short throw (UST), short throw, and standard throw.

For example, to project a 100-inch image:

• An ultra-short-throw projector with a 0.25 throw ratio only needs to be 28 cm away from the wall.
  

• A short-throw projector with a 0.49 throw ratio requires about 1.08 meters.
  

• In contrast, a standard throw projector with a 1.30 throw ratio needs to be placed approximately 2.88 meters away to achieve the same image size.
  

So, how do you choose the right throw ratio? This depends on your specific use case, room size, layout, and the desired screen size. Ultra-short and short-throw projectors are ideal for space-constrained environments, such as small meeting rooms or public halls, where you need large, shadow-free projections from a short distance. For larger rooms or where space isn't an issue, standard throw projectors are often the better choice. The below image is StarryHub throw distance:

Figure3-Throw Distance

• Lamp or Laser or Led

Projectors on the market today generally fall into three main categories: lamp-based, LED, and laser projectors.

Lamp-based projectors have a relatively short lifespan, typically ranging from 2,000 to 5,000 hours. They offer high brightness and are generally more affordable, making them a common choice for educational and business settings, such as traditional classroom projectors. However, due to the aging of the lamp and noticeable brightness degradation over time, frequent lamp replacements are required for regular use, resulting in higher maintenance costs.

LED projectors offer a longer lifespan, typically ranging from 20,000 to 30,000 hours. They deliver vibrant color performance and low power consumption, making them ideal for home theaters and small meetings, for example, home projectors from brands like Xiaomi and JMGO. These devices eliminate the need for frequent light source replacements, requiring only occasional lens and body dust cleaning, making maintenance relatively simple.

Laser projectors are known for their long lifespan and high brightness, typically offering over 20,000 hours of use. They deliver sharp and bright image quality, making them especially suitable for high-brightness environments such as large venues, laser TVs, and high-end business meeting rooms—commonly seen in models from Epson and Sony. Thanks to the slow degradation of laser light sources, they rarely require replacement, resulting in lower maintenance costs with only routine cleaning and dust prevention needed.

• DLP or LCD

Projection imaging technology is also a crucial factor to consider, with two main options: DLP or LCD.

DLP (Digital Light Processing), developed by Texas Instruments, is widely used in projectors. At the heart of a DLP projector is a DMD chip (Digital Micromirror Device) that contains thousands of tiny mirrors, each representing a single pixel. These mirrors rapidly tilt to reflect light and create images with high precision.

LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) projectors, on the other hand, use liquid crystal panels to project images. Known for their vibrant colors and stable image quality, LCD technology is especially well-suited for displaying text, images, and static content. LCD is widely used across projectors, TVs, monitors, and smart devices.

Video System

An all-in-one meeting system integrates various video technologies, and buyers can choose the video features that best meet their needs based on the type of meeting room and the organization's size.

Video Resolution & Image Processing

The image quality captured by the camera in an all-in-one meeting device is determined by several key factors, including resolution, sensor size and pixel count, as well as the type and optical quality of the lens.

Most all-in-one meeting systems today are equipped with built-in cameras that generally fall into two standard configurations: a 2MP sensor supporting 1080p (1920×1080) resolution, and an 8MP sensor capable of 4K (3840×2160) resolution. For instance, the StarryHub Q1 Pro features a 2MP 1080p camera, while the StarryHub Q1S Pro is equipped with an 8MP 4K camera.

While many video conferences are still conducted at resolutions below 4K, higher-resolution cameras can significantly enhance image clarity—especially in multi-party meetings where detail and sharpness are essential for a professional experience.

Some high-end meeting systems feature larger image sensors and ultra-high-resolution cameras—ranging from 20 megapixels to as high as 50 megapixels. These advanced cameras can capture significantly more detail, ensuring exceptional image clarity even when downscaled to 4K or lower resolutions. They also support lossless digital zoom, allowing users to zoom in without compromising image quality (see the “Zoom Capabilities” section for more details).

To further enhance visual performance, modern all-in-one meeting devices are often equipped with advanced image processing technologies, including:

• Low-Light Enhancement – Improves image clarity in dimly lit environments.
  

• Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) / High Dynamic Range (HDR) – Balances exposure in scenes with both bright highlights and deep shadows.
  

• Backlight Compensation (BLC) – Enhances visibility of subjects positioned against strong backlighting.

 FOV

The Field of View (FOV) of a camera determines how much of the room it can capture and is a critical factor in shaping the overall video conferencing experience.

Typically, camera FOVs are classified into the following categories:

• Wide-angle field of View (Approximately 120° and Above
  

Wide-angle cameras are well-suited for small meeting spaces, particularly when participants are seated close to the device. They can easily capture the entire room in a single frame. However, wide-angle lenses may introduce distortion around the edges of the image, which can visually stretch or warp participants seated at the sides or head of the table, potentially impacting perceived image quality.

Figure5-Fov

• Narrow-Angle Field of View (Approximately 30°)

 Narrow-angle cameras are better suited for medium to large meeting rooms where participants are positioned farther from the camera. These cameras offer higher image precision and detail. The trade-off is a more limited coverage area, making it challenging to capture multiple participants spread across the room at the same time.

• Medium Field of View (Approximately 70°) with Multi-Camera Stitching

Some systems utilize multiple cameras with medium field-of-view lenses and combine their outputs using image stitching technology to create a wide panoramic view (e.g., 24:9 aspect ratio). This approach enables full coverage of the meeting room while maintaining high image quality. It is especially suitable for long-table conference rooms or large spaces that require multi-directional capture.

• Hybrid Multi-Camera Configuration with Intelligent Switching

Some high-end meeting systems combine wide-angle and narrow-angle lenses with intelligent algorithms that automatically switch views based on participant location and activity. This enables precise tracking of speakers and key areas within the room. While these systems offer exceptional flexibility and adaptability across diverse meeting scenarios, they typically come at a higher price point.

Camera Zoom Capabilities

Currently, most all-in-one meeting devices feature fixed lenses, with zoom functionality relying primarily on digital zoom technology, also known as electronic Pan/Tilt/Zoom (ePTZ). This approach simulates zoom by cropping and enlarging a portion of the image sensor.

However, digital zoom has its limitations—since only a section of the image sensor is used, zooming results in a reduction in resolution and loss of image detail. For example, applying 2x digital zoom on a 4K device typically reduces the image quality to 1080p.

To maintain image clarity during Zoom, some high-end all-in-one meeting devices are equipped with higher-resolution cameras. For instance, cameras with 8MP (4K) or even higher resolutions, such as 20MP or 34MP sensors, allow digital zoom while still producing high-quality images.

For example:

• A 34MP camera capturing 8K footage can still output sharp 4K images even after 2x digital zoom.
  

• Light electronic zoom on a 4K image can preserve near-original quality.
  

This "lossless" digital zoom technology enables meeting devices to achieve natural, high-definition focus without the need for mechanical zoom lenses, making it ideal for applications such as automatic tracking or speaker focus.

AI video Features (auto-framing and speaker tracking）

StarryHub has successfully integrated speaker tracking technology and sound source localization, utilizing low-power hardware and self-developed lightweight algorithms to achieve automatic speaker detection and tracking. This technology responds quickly to changes in the speaker's position, automatically adjusting the frame to emphasize the speaker’s expressions and movements, delivering a smoother and more natural remote meeting experience

The application of advanced AI video features in all-in-one meeting devices is progressively enhancing both the visual quality and participant engagement in hybrid meetings. Modern all-in-one devices typically integrate cameras, microphones, speakers, and image processing units into a single solution, equipped with various intelligent video modes that automatically adjust perspective and focus to suit different meeting scenarios. Below are some of the most common AI video capture modes:

• Room/Group Framing: Automatically adjusts the camera’s angle (via optical or digital pan/tilt/zoom) to capture all participants in the meeting room, making it ideal for scenarios that require a comprehensive view.

• Speaker Tracking: The system detects the active speaker and automatically switches to a close-up shot, perfect for meetings where highlighting the speaker is essential.

 Person Framing: The system identifies each participant in the room and can generate individual video windows for some or all attendees, making it easier for remote participants to see each speaker’s status.

Conversation Mode: In multi-speaker scenarios, the system switches to close-up shots of participants currently engaged in the conversation.

Movie Mode: In multi-camera setups, the system automatically transitions between different cameras to capture the speaker, the audience, or the overall scene.

Hybrid Mode: Combines a wide-angle room view with individual close-ups, allowing both the environment and individual participants to be displayed simultaneously.

In all-in-one devices, AI video features are seamlessly integrated with the hardware, eliminating the need for complex user configuration. Cameras are typically positioned at the top or front of the device, with some models also featuring a central desktop camera to assist with participant recognition and framing optimization.

The specific names and implementation methods for these features may vary by manufacturer, and supported framing modes can differ. Some systems also incorporate audio localization technology to improve the accuracy of automatic tracking.
