Yamaha Corporation announces Microsoft Teams certification for the CS-800 Video Sound Bar. CS-800 is an all-in-one system that integrates the microphone, speaker, and camera needed for remote conferencing into a single device, providing a high-quality experience.
“We are excited to continue to add to our portfolio of Microsoft Teams certified products,” says Thomas Hemery, Yamaha’s general manager for global marketing and sales, Professional Solutions business unit. “The unique technologies of the CS-800 Video Sound Bar provide seamless, intelligible collaboration through high-quality audio and video for both in-person and remote participants to deliver the best Microsoft Teams experience, wherever you work.”
“A reliable, high-quality collaboration experience is critical for users who have remote meetings,” said Albert Kooiman, senior director, Microsoft Teams Devices Partner Engineering and Certification at Microsoft Corp. “Yamaha has a long history of excellence in the audio world, and with certification for Microsoft Teams, the CS-800 brings an additional level of reliability and collaboration to the Teams experience.”
SoundCap Eye™ technology leverages information from the multidimensional beamforming microphone array and highly accurate video positioning information to focus audio capture on meeting participants. This technology, combined with audio volume controls, makes the CS-800 the ideal solution for small and large meeting rooms.
The CS-800 Video Sound Bar is equipped with an AI-enabled 4K camera that supports automatic framing, enabling three modes: speaker tracking, individual tracking or group tracking. Audio and video information is used to determine the section of the space or meeting room where interested participants are, and to direct attention to that area.
When using the CS-800 with a PC (not within Teams), users can easily initiate video calls through a simple USB connection. The “Auto Wake-up” function recognizes users entering the room and automatically starts the display via HDMI-CEC. A guide appears on the display explaining how to use the technology and how to start a meeting. In addition, the technology allows companies to add customized images and provide corporate messages.
Installation methods, include table, wall, and display mounting using optional mounting accessories.
