The Chat 150 USB is a high-performance audio peripheral that connects to PCs for rich, full-duplex audio communications. It provides speaker phone capability that is far superior to the mic and speaker built into laptops and PCs. It features ClearOne's trademark audio processing performance, and delivers unmatched full-duplex capability for crystal-clear communications. The Chat 150 USB has three built-in microphones for full 360-degree pickup, with performance equivalent to ClearOne's MAX EX conference phone.
The Chat 150 USB is a perfect complement to PC-based collaboration applications:
–VoIP softphones, such as Avaya, Cisco, Nortel
–PC-based video conferencing, such as WiredRed, Amity, Marratech
–Internet telephone applications, such as Skype or Vonage
–Web conferencing applications, such as LiveMeeting, Sametime, WebEx
–Instant messaging with audio chat
–Audio playback with media players, such as QuickTime, RealPlayer, Windows Media Player
With the addition of the optional Chat 150 VC accessory kit, the device can be connected to video conferencing systems for greatly enhanced audio communications. In early 2007, ClearOne will also begin shipping the telephone versions of the Chat 150, which will connect to leading telephone handsets to deliver the ultimate combination of hands-free audio and telephony functionality.
