I have a Logitech 4K camera on my desktop but I can't ever get the right angle. I need that small one you can position in the middle of the screen? Anyone know it? Thanks. Eye contact important!

I can’t wait to talk to in Klingon as I find I never get my praises quite right, like this one yIDoghQo' (to more than one person: peDoghQo' ) so it will be a easier speaking to friends

The Ascension is Near.

Here are the Beacon® MAX and BEAM™ technical specifications

Video resolution: 4K/8K max resolution [limited by capture device]
- Frame rate: [up to 8K@]30 FPS current target for Beacon, [up to 4K@]60 FPS target for BEAM, [up to 1080p@]120 FPS expected in BEAM
- Codecs (in order of usage):
Beacon MAX (enc/dec): VP8, H.264, VP9, HEVC, AV1
BEAM: VP9, HEVC, AV1, VP8, H.264
Target: Scalable video coding with four spatial layers (1- source, 1- medium bandwidth target, 1- low bandwidth target, 1- preview/thumbnail target) and 1 or 2 temporal layers.

- Max [target] encoding bitrate:
Beacon MAX: 24 Mbps for 8K, 12 Mbps for 4K, 6 Mbps for 1080p, 3 Mbps for 720p, 1.5 Mbps for lower
BEAM: 36 Mbps for 8K, 24 Mbps for 4K, 8 Mbps for 1080p, 5 Mbps for 720p, 3 Mbps for lower

Use cases:
- Interpreter™ (Real-time translation engine, running multiple ML models to process speech)
- SAMI™ (Proprietary in-call virtual assistant, wake word detection and running offline speech/command recognition model)
- Binaural Audio (spatial separation of audio based on speaker location on the screen, spatial separation for multi-camera BEAM streams)
- VR Streams (virtual scene with augmented source stream)
- 360° Calls and Streams (requires 360° camera at source)
- Video Enhancement (currently done during post processing with GPU-based filters)

The candidate for advanced/undocumented driver APIs is a desktop client for BEAM and eventually native Beacon MAX application.

Current application is browser-based and limited to GPU codecs/profiles/parameters implemented by web browsers.

Patents:
- Streaming and non-streaming transfer between devices (US10893087B1, US11330033B2) GRANTED
Application-level algorithm for seamless transfer of calls and live streams (among other media formats, including interactive gameplay)
- Seamless Connect (in active review)
Automatic routing of incoming calls to scheduled calls using universal number and without PIN entry
- Synthetic Moderator (in active review)
Applications of voice AI during conference calls to manage events, participants, provide summaries to late participants, moderate calls and follow meeting agenda, among other features.
- Interpreter (filing)
Technology to produce near-simultaneous computer translation for multi-language live conference calls and phone calls

We asked Diyan Harisusanto to update the evolution video of our translation tech to now include Interpreter 5.0 with Voices. Interpreter will be included with Beacon® MAX, the premium version of Beacon.

Our software engineers have been working on accelerating translation for over two years.

Will you make your Interpreter a stand alone product? I can see this product as revolutionizing the market and making it able to be used with BEAM(tm) for streamers for obvious reasons, but just as important for travelers, and people (most important) to make friends with people of different languages.
