5.4 Installation height
It is recommended to install the Jabra PanaCast 50 at eye-level of the meeting
room participants.
When installing the PanaCast 50
with the Wall Mount or Screen
Mount, the camera should be
positioned 8 centimeters (3 inches)
below the screen and ideally 30-35
centimeters (12-14 inches) above the
table top or 100 centimeters
(3 feet) from the floor. If this height is
not possible, it is recommended to
install the Jabra PanaCast 50 above the screen.
Do not mount the camera facing direct sunlight as this may affect the preset white
balance and compromise the image.
