Grandstream GVC3220 4K Video Conferencing System, 12x PTZ Camera

Overview

The Grandstream GVC3220 is a video conferencing system for a meeting room: a camera unit that connects to the room’s TV or display, joins video calls and shares a PC screen. Its 8 MP pan-tilt-zoom camera with 12x zoom can frame a boardroom table or a classroom, and a wireless desktop microphone comes in the package. It suits boardrooms, conference rooms, classrooms and auditoriums.

Is it right for you?

• Suits boardrooms, conference rooms, classrooms and auditoriums that join SIP or H.323 video calls, including calls with third-party video platforms.
• The built-in bridge hosts up to 5 locations at 1080p, or 9 locations at 720p, without a separate server.
• It needs a TV or display with HDMI, and a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) or H.323 call server or video platform to register to.
• To host meetings on Grandstream’s IPVideoTalk cloud service, you also need a paid plan with a GVC device option (GVC-Standard, or GVC-Lite on a Basic account).

Key features

• 1/2.5 inch 8 MP CMOS camera with 4K 30 fps output, 12x zoom, pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) control and a 69.5 degree field of view.
• Built-in multipoint bridge (MCU): 5-way at 1080p or 9-way at 720p.
• SIP, H.323, BFCP and TIP protocols, with dual-stream video: people video up to 4K plus content video up to 1080p.
• 2 HDMI outputs (one HDMI 2.0 up to 4K with CEC, one HDMI 1.4 up to 1080p) and 1 HDMI 1.4a input for PC screen sharing up to 1080p.

• Audio: 1 built-in speaker, line in and out, a media port, and an external Bluetooth or 2.4 GHz microphone (the GMD1208 comes in the package).
• Voice codecs G.711µ/a, G.722, G.722.1, G.722.1c, G.726-32, iLBC, Opus and G.729A/B; H.264 video. Runs Android 9.
• Ports: 1 x USB 3.0, 1 x USB 2.0 and 1 x SD card slot.

What else you need

• A TV or display with an HDMI input.
• A SIP or H.323 call server or video platform, such as a Grandstream IP PBX or a third-party video conferencing platform.
• Mains power for the power adapter that comes in the package (100 to 240 V AC input, 48 V DC 0.7 A output).
• A Gigabit Ethernet connection to the room, or a Wi-Fi network.
• Only if you host on IPVideoTalk: a paid IPVideoTalk plan with the GVC-Standard option, or the GVC-Lite option on a Basic account.
• Only for a long table: a second GMD1208 microphone, as the GMD1208 can cascade up to 2 units.

Installation

Mount the camera unit above or below the room display using the bracket that comes in the package, connect it to the display over HDMI and run Gigabit Ethernet to it. Place the wireless microphone centrally on the table. An AV or telephony installer then registers the system to the call server or video platform and sets up the room.

Software and licences

Interoperates with third-party SIP and H.323 video platforms, bridges SIP calls with Android VoIP apps, supports LDAP phonebooks, and is provisioned through TR-069 or AES-encrypted XML. Hosted meetings on IPVideoTalk need a paid plan with a GVC device option.

Before you buy

• A TV or display with an HDMI input is needed.
• The package includes a GMD1208 wireless microphone, remote control, power supply, network and HDMI cables and a mounting bracket.
• Hosting on IPVideoTalk needs a paid plan with a GVC device option; joining other platforms’ calls does not.
• Operating temperature 0 to 40 °C, so it is for indoor rooms.
