Assembly and installation

The Jabra PanaCast 50 can be mounted using the supplied wall mount, or the optional screen mount or table stand.

Before installing

Optimally, the Jabra PanaCast 50 should be mounted at eye-level and positioned 0.5m to 3.5m from meeting room participants (1.5ft to 11.5ft). Any further and the image may pixelate. Any closer and the image may be affected by mage stitching.
Do not mount the camera facing direct sunlight as this may affect the preset white balance and compromise the image. If you intend to use the Whiteboard feature, position the Jabra Panacast 50 so it will face the whiteboard with a clear, unobstructed view.
