Kindermann KVB120 Video Soundbar User Manual
1. Packing list
2. Description
KVB120 is an all-in-one video soundbar. The built-in UHD camera, the 6-way microphone array and the 2 x 7 W speakers make sure that small meeting rooms or huddle spaces can be used for video conferences in no time.
The camera image always adapts to the participants through auto framing and voice localization and focuses on the speaker.
The camera only needs to be connected to a PC with an USB 3.0 cable and the camera, microphone and loudspeaker are available for use in any application.
An external microphone with line level can be connected via the line-in connection. In this case, the built-in microphones are no longer integrated into the USB stream, only the external signal.

8. Menu
Press Menu button to open main menu.
You can adjust advanced picture settings and change the behaviour of the auto- framing function in the menu. You will find a brief explanation of some of the terms that occur there:
Setup – Transfers Mode
Bulk:
Data integrity is more important than timing. If the transfer fails, data can
be sent again.
Bulk guarantees data transmission, but no latency.
Isochronous transfers:
Continuous stream of data where data integrity is not a high priority. A
constant data rate with limited latency is guaranteed. However, failed
transfers cannot be retried.
Exposure – Mode
SAE (Shutter Automatic Exposure)
The camera will measure light and automatically set the aperture based on your
desired shutter speed.
Exposure Compensation
Adjust the brightness of the picture.
Anti-Flicker
If light sources cause flickering in the video, an adjustment of the anti-
flicker setting can help.
Color
RG and BG Tuning
Adjust red or blue component of the picture.
AWB Sensitivity
Adjust the intensity of automatic white balance.
Noise reduction
2D Noise reduction
By analysing individual video images, the image noise of moving objects is
reduced.
3D Noise reduction
By analysing successive video images, the image quality is increased,
especially with static objects.
