Yamaha CS-500, Group video conferencing system, 4K Ultra HD, 30 fps, Black
Yamaha's CS-500 Video Collaboration System uses the latest AI technology to combine voice and video data to deliver the most accurate, real-time hybrid collaboration experience.
Yamaha's newly developed SoundCap Eye™ technology locates exactly the positions of participants and tracks them while they are moving, reduces distracting background noise and adjusts the volume. This creates a relaxed and enjoyable remote meeting experience unlike any other. It's like a skilled movie director, cameraman and sound director working together behind the scenes
With its Easy Launch feature and multiple mounting options, the new CS Series products are made for use in any environment - even noisy, open office spaces. Collaborate and connect easily without hassle.
The Latest in Participant Positioning Technology
Using the positioning data provided from BOTH the voice and camera pickup, Yamaha's new SoundCap Eye™ technology pinpoints participant locations to deliver a seamless and immersive tracking experience unlike any other.
4K camera tracks participation physical locations while the Hexa-Microphone tracks audio source locations to deliver an accurate facial position for a dual, harmonized pickup. The technology can better determine participation location and block out unwanted background noise in potentially noisy environments like open workspaces.
Hexa-Microphone
Microphone is arranged in a hexagonal array that creates a 3-dimensional microphone beam that more accurately captures words spoken during conversations to reproduce a clearer and more precise sound compared to normal video sound bars.
SoundCap Eye™ is created by unifying three Yamaha's unique technologies: Face Focus Beamforming, Self-Silence and Self-Volume Balancer.
Face Focus Beamforming
Problem: Open workspaces can be noisy with sounds from colleague chatter, office equipment and nearby meetings. When having remote conference sessions, your conversation can be disrupted by these noises and far-end participants will have difficulty hearing you clearly.
Solution: The 4K camera built into the CS series not only delivers clear images, but also analyzes the captured images with AI to constantly track the faces of the meeting participants. Face Focus Beamforming realized by this AI camera and the newly developed Hexa-Microphone, suppresses noise coming from directions other than the person captured in the camera, and clearly picks up the voices of the meeting participants.
*Face Focus Beamforming is a function enables the remote communication at open workspaces. It is not recommended to use at closed spaces like conference rooms.
*In the open spaces, please keep more than 2 meter from the talker in another meeting.
Self-Silence
Problem: Even within the virtual walls of a conversation in an open workspace, there can be various surrounding noises that can be picked up. Whether it be the ringing of a phone, computer typing or shuffling of papers, sudden noises can be distracting especially to far-end participants.
Solution: The CS-800 & CS-500 include a self-silence function that automatically mutes the microphone when the conference participant is not speaking. By using Yamaha's Human Voice Activity Detection (HVAD) technology, the CS-800 & CS-500 can detect human voice from other sounds in an instant. Participants can rely on a smooth conversation without unnecessary sound whether they are speaking or not.
Self-Volume Balancer
Problem: When using the video sound bars in open workspaces, speaker output can sometimes be too quiet or too loud when ambient background noise changes, causing missed information or an inconvenience to the surrounding workers. In some cases, there is also a risk of private information being heard.
Solution: With the self-volume balancer function, the CS-800 & CS-500 automatically adjust the volume according to the ambient noise to keep an appropriate speaker volume level?(speaker of the CS-800 or monitor speaker) at all times. Participants can conduct remote conferences in open spaces without failing to hear conversation, disturbing their surroundings and keeping meeting contents private.
*CS-500 automatically adjust the speaker volume of the display connected via HDMI.
Easy Launch
Automatic display launch with easy-to-follow instructions allow for a quick jump into collaboration sessions. Video / audio / screen sharing starts with one action and is easy and simple to connect with a single USB cable.
Multi-platform compatibility
Seamless connectivity with all popular remote-conferencing software and supports Windows, macOS, Chrome OS, iOS, and Android.

| Bluetooth Bluetooth is a low-power radio technology developed to replace the cables and wires currently used to link or connect electronic devices such as personal computers, printers, and a wide variety of handheld devices including mobile phones. Because it uses radio-wave connectivity, a Bluetooth-enabled device has a constant, established connection to whatever browser it uses. This saves the user the trouble of logging on to check for emails or news updates, for example. |
