Lightware – Yamaha Integration
Lightware and Yamaha collaborated to create a cutting-edge audio-visual solution that enhances the user experience in meeting rooms with high efficiency and immersion
Why We Chose to Partner with Yamaha
Yamaha RM-CG ceiling microphone not only delivers high quality sound but also provides accurate information regarding the position of the sound source, and recognizes whether the sound is speech, or noise, serving as the foundation for Lightware's Voice-Tracking PTZ camera control solution.
Tailored Hybrid Meeting Precision
When incorporated into Taurus UCX/TPX and MMX2 series with LARA software, this solution processes data coming from the Yamaha ceiling microphone. According to the received information, the program recalls pre-defined camera presets that frame the active speaker. The notable benefits of this solution are its tailored approach and fully customizable behavior, instead of an out-of-the-box videoconferencing device.
Consequently, it adeptly supports hybrid meetings in high-quality meeting rooms.
Enhanced Remote Meeting Technology
The technology ensures that remote meeting participants can clearly see and hear who is speaking at any given moment. It also features built-in intelligence to detect multiple speakers and adapt camera framing accordingly
In case of silence, crowd talking, or multiple people talking together, the program recalls an overview shot of the participants, avoiding any fast back and forth swinging movement of the camera.
Collaborative Solutions
As a result, remote participants in meetings held in rooms designed for eight or more people will enjoy a more personal and engaging experience, as they can clearly see and hear collegues in the office.
In addition, organisations seeking to standardise this solution globally can rely on the cooperation between Lightware and Yamaha, while AV professionals, including integrators and consultants, can implement a cutting-edge technology solution
Discover the Distinctive Yamaha Advantage through Lightware Devices
The Voice Tracking PTZ camera (that uses VISCA protocol*) control solution offers automatic camera adjustment using vector data from the Yamaha RM-CG ceiling microphone array. This solution relies on predefined position data originating from the microphone and user-configured camera presets. Once all sound source locations and desired camera presets are recorded and saved, LARA determines the incoming vector data and converts it to a command, controlling the PTZ camera.
*The performance may be different as various cameras implement VISCA protocol as full-featured or just a subset.
