Imagine this: you’re dialing into a crucial meeting. On your screen is a sea of faces spanning a long conference table. At the end of the table facing the camera sits one individual – perhaps the leader, the key decision-maker, or the presenter. They’re small, a bit blurry, and their expressions are hard to decipher. How engaged and included do you feel?
In inclusive meetings, everyone is seen and heard no matter where they are sitting. For that person at the head of the table being seen clearly by the remote attendee isn’t about vanity; it’s about fostering connection, clarity, and ultimately, a more productive meeting.
Expanding the reach of Room Bar Pro and Board Pro G2 with AI Virtual Lens
At Cisco, we’re constantly working to enhance the capabilities of our collaboration devices. AI Virtual Lens is a testament to this; an innovation that is enabling our devices to perform even better at long distance. This feature ensures that every participant is clearly seen and heard, no matter where they are seated – even in the longer rooms.
Powered by NVIDIA chipset
The AI Virtual Lens is supported on Cisco Room Bar Pro and Cisco Board Pro G2, both on Cisco Rooms and Microsoft Teams Rooms and is available on all meeting backends. These devices have an advanced dual-camera system, combining one wide-angle and one tele lens to deliver seamless, high-quality framing. Powered by NVIDIA AI chipsets these products now have an additional virtual lens that extends the camera’s reach to give a clear close-up in longer rooms. We use advanced algorithms to reconstruct full-color, high-resolution images from our sensor’s unique pixel arrangement, delivering sharper details and more accurate colors at the sensor’s maximum resolution.
Visualize it in your own environment

The Next Big Leap in Cinematic Meetings
AI Virtual Lens is just one example of the cutting-edge camera intelligence built into Cisco Video Devices, enabling truly cinematic meeting experiences. Our goal is to ensure you always get the best view—no matter the meeting or platform. Don’t miss Webex One, where we’ll launch our biggest Cinematic Meetings feature to date.
