What Lumens does
Lumens is a Pro AV technology company founded in 1998 that designs and manufactures professional audiovisual hardware and software for corporate, higher education, government, and courtroom markets. The company's product portfolio spans PTZ cameras (4K and HD, 12x to 30x optical zoom), AI-powered auto-tracking cameras, document cameras and visualizers, CaptureVision media processors (2-channel and 4-channel with 12G-SDI and NDI HX support), and AV-over-IP encoders/decoders/transcoders supporting industry-standard NDI HX3 and Dante AV-H protocols. The AV-over-IP line includes the OIP Bridge series (OIP-N60D, OIP-N40E, OIP-D50E/D50D, OIP-D40E/D40D) alongside an OIP-D50C controller and StreamSelect software for switching and routing.
The company's core technical differentiator is CamConnect Pro AI voice tracking, which combines audio AI (sound source localization, voice activity detection) with computer vision to autonomously identify and frame active speakers in meeting rooms, lecture halls, and courtrooms without manual camera operators. VoiceConnect and CamConnect 200 extend this into fully dynamic automated voice tracking, while the AI-Box1 universal processor enables integration with third-party microphone arrays from Audio-Technica, Sennheiser, Yamaha, and Nureva. Hardware is paired with a software layer including Deployment Tool 2.0, Routing Switcher, Companion Module, OBS Plugin, Ladibug 4K, and Virtual Camera 2.0. The VC-TR60A 4K dual-lens speaker tracking camera is Microsoft Teams certified, and the portfolio is NDAA and TAA compliant for US federal procurement.
Lumens generates revenue primarily through hardware product sales, supplemented by one-time software licensing and professional services delivered through authorized resellers, system integrators, and OEM partners. Distribution is global, spanning Asia-Pacific (headquartered in Taiwan with brand presence in the US at Fremont, CA), Europe, and North America, with an event-driven go-to-market motion centered on InfoComm Asia, ISE Barcelona, InfoComm Las Vegas, and HETMA roadshows. The company employs 251-500 people and is a brand of Taiwan-listed eMPIA Technology.
