Yamaha CS-800 Video Sound Bar – Optimal solution for real-time hybrid collaboration
The Yamaha CS-800 Video Sound Bar is said to be a solution that enables video conferencing in a variety of work environments using the latest voice and speaker tracking technologies, according to the promise of Yamaha Music Europe GmbH or the Yamaha Unified Communications Division.
As already mentioned, this is an all-in-one system that offers speakers in addition to the camera and microphone and is connected to a display via an HDMI output.
The central component is therefore the AI-enabled 4K video camera, which supports auto framing and has three modes – tracking of people speaking, single tracking or group mode. The so-called Yamaha SoundCap Eye Technology, based on a multi-dimensional beamforming microphone array, focuses the speech capture on the participants of a meeting and an automatic volume control ensures optimal speech intelligibility at all times.
As mentioned earlier, several installation methods are available for the Yamaha CS-800, be it desktop, wall or display mounting with optional mounting accessories.
Previously, the Yamaha CS-800 Video Sound Bar was already certified as Zoom Room hardware, now a second essential certification follows with Microsoft Teams.
