As of today, Huddly’s AI-directed multi-camera system is ready for purchase and shipping to customers. With AI software that provides live editing of video meetings, Huddly Crew is predicted to disrupt the video conferencing market as we know it.
After a successful early adopter program and a string of awards, Huddly Crew is now available worldwide through Huddly’s certified resellers at the Premier and Platinum levels.
Huddly CCO Daniel Johansson comments: “Huddly Crew has received a tremendous reception in the industry and is swiftly gaining substantial traction with Fortune 1000 companies and top universities. We can’t wait for all our customers to experience Huddly Crew and join us in embracing a new era of video conferencing.”
Joe Way, Chair of HETMA, an advocacy organization focused on AV in higher education, is equally enthusiastic about the new technology. “Huddly Crew fills a gap in the market, and I truly believe it will be a game-changer in higher education,” Way said in an interview earlier.
Huddly Crew redefines the meeting experience by providing an immersive view of the meeting space and its participants, all made possible through the collaboration of three premium network cameras. The heart of this innovation is Huddly Director, an AI-based feature that operates directly on the cameras. Just like a TV director would, it edits the meeting in real time, smoothly switching between different angles and shot types to create an engaging and equitable experience.
“Huddly Crew takes cues from the entertainment world to maximize engagement in video meetings,” explains Vegard Hammer, Chief Technology Officer at Huddly. “This technology is truly groundbreaking, and for organizations, be it in business or education, it holds significant promise. By getting everyone more involved in video meetings and classes, they’re unlocking the full potential of their most valuable resource: people.”
Since its introduction, Huddly Crew has received wide recognition for its pioneering and human-centric approach to hybrid meetings. Recognitions include the Red Dot: Best of the Best Design Award, the Frost & Sullivan New Product Innovation Award, and the iF Gold Design Award.
“For those wanting to thrive in a hybrid world and make sustainable investments, Huddly Crew is the smart pick,” explains CTO Vegard Hammer. “Significant breakthroughs in the video conferencing sector will arise from software innovation rather than simply focusing on higher megapixel counts. This is why we engineer Huddly solutions to be future-ready. With Huddly Crew’s capacity for AI advancements through software upgrades, as well as adaptable hardware, it will keep evolving to empower human collaboration in any future scenario.”
The Huddly Crew kit is optimized for medium to large rooms and is priced at an MSRP of USD 11,990. To place an order, get in touch with your trusted reseller or contact Huddly for more information.
