Performance

After using the CU-360 unit for multiple meetings, and using different could services we found it really easy to use the device to turn any hurdle room into an interactive meeting room. The camera of the device supports HD quality (1080p or 720p), and it delivers quality video output. The zoom capability of the camera is impressive.

The mic of CU-360 is excellent in capturing your voice with good quality. We tested the mic capability in a meeting room of 15 feet, in which it was able to capture voice till the distance of 10 to 12 feet with quality.

It supports USB and Bluetooth as well, so you can connect an external mic or speaker system to it.

The UI of the device is quite intuitive, any person can easily operate it without any training. Once the setup is done, you can check the call menu to make a call to a SIP URI and IP address. There is an advanced call option as well that includes the call protocol (H.323, SIP, ISDN), call type (audio-video or audio-only), and call rate. You can see a contact menu as well to create and search contacts from a directory.
