BOE Qualcomm video bar, HDMI I/O, triple-lens 48MP, 4K60 ISP/NPU, smart gallery, speaker tracking

Описание: BOE showcases a Qualcomm-powered video bar aimed at medium meeting spaces, blending a triple-lens AI camera block with integrated audio DSP so one device can handle framing, capture, and speaker playback in a single USB/HDMI-friendly package. The pitch is “broadcast-style” conferencing hardware—multi-camera optics plus on-device inference—without turning the room into a complicated install. https://www.boe.com/

HDMI® Technology is the foundation for the worldwide ecosystem of HDMI-connected devices; integrated with displays, set-top boxes, laptops, audio video receivers and other product types. Because of this global usage, manufacturers, resellers, integrators and consumers must be assured that their HDMI® products work seamlessly together and deliver the best possible performance by sourcing products from licensed HDMI Adopters or authorized resellers. For HDMI Cables, consumers can look for the official HDMI® Cable Certification Labels on packaging. Innovation continues with the latest HDMI 2.2 Specification that supports higher 96Gbps bandwidth and next-gen HDMI Fixed Rate Link technology to provide optimal audio and video for a wide range of device applications. Higher resolutions and refresh rates are supported, including up to 12K@120 and 16K@60. Additionally, more high-quality options are supported, including uncompressed full chroma formats such as 8K@60/4:4:4 and 4K@240/4:4:4 at 10-bit and 12-bit color.

On the imaging side, the unit uses three lenses (wide + zoom views) and an ISP/NPU pipeline designed for intelligent crop, auto-framing, and “smart gallery” layouts that generate individual tiles for each person while keeping a room overview strip visible. The demo mentions up to three 48MP sensors and 4K60 capture capability, even though most mainstream meeting apps still cap uplink at 1080p today, which frames the hardware as future-ready for higher-fidelity workflows in a hybrid setup.

Audio is treated as a first-class signal chain: echo cancellation, noise reduction, and room-tuned playback via built-in speakers, aiming for intelligibility when the space gets noisy. This is the typical AEC/NS/AGC stack you’d expect in a conferencing appliance, but the interesting angle is how much can be moved onto the SoC’s AI engine for adaptive processing tied to visual context (who is speaking, where they sit) and for features like presenter/speaker tracking.

Connectivity includes dual HDMI 2.0 outputs plus HDMI input, with the option to add an extra external camera and support multi-screen layouts; the conversation also explores the idea of multiple bars collaborating across a larger room, which would require tighter device synchronization and a multi-node AV architecture. Filmed at ISE 2026 in Barcelona, the discussion leans into what happens when room devices become edge compute nodes: people counting, behavior analytics, and local policy-driven processing rather than sending everything to cloud.

A practical near-term idea is using on-device super-resolution: receive a 1080p conference stream, then upscale locally to a sharper 4K presentation for the in-room display—separating “transport resolution” from “display resolution” with an AI enhancement stage. They also touch on offline translation (ASR + MT on the NPU) and meeting summaries, noting that larger language-model summarization still tends to live in cloud today, but the direction is clear as edge TOPS budgets keep rising.
