Yamaha YVC-330 Portable USB and Bluetooth Speakerphone Now Shipping
Yamaha Unified Communications is now shipping the YVC-330 portable USB and Bluetooth speakerphone. The latest addition to Yamaha's portable speakerphone family, the YVC-330 virtual meeting solution features Yamaha's new SoundCap technology. SoundCap is specifically engineered to convert background noise prevalent in open workspaces into a signal that makes the meeting sound as good as being in a quiet conference room. Now endusers can confidently hold spontaneous meetings anywhere, including
environments that have traditionally deterred collaboration. Thanks to its Far Field Noise Reduction (FFNR), Yamaha's SoundCap technology zeros in and captures only the voices of speakers sitting around the meeting table. It effectively removes other noise, allowing participants at the other end of the call to focus on the conversation. To further enable a clear, superior conference call and prevent unnecessary sound from being transmitted, the YVC-330 also features an automatic mute function, which engages when
participants are not speaking. This self-silencing feature enhances the performance of Yamaha's Human Voice Activity Detection technology, which instantly distinguishes human voices from other sounds. In addition, the SoundCap technology offers an autospeaker volume adjustment, which regulates the volume to ambient noise levels and is suited for maintaining speech privacy. With the self-volume balancer function, remote conferences can be conducted seamlessly without being intrusive to those in the vicinity. Featuring USB, Bluetooth, NFC connections, and power through its USB cable, the YVC-330's portable design makes it the ideal communications solution for setting up high-quality calls from any area of a workspace — all without the cost of dedicated equipment. uc.yamaha.com
New Confidea FLEX Redefines Wired Conference Meetings The compact, slim, attractive device is robust as well. No matter where you move the microphone, the conference device stays perfectly put.
TELEVIC CONFERENCE introduces Confidea FLEX: a brand-new wired conference device with a touch screen powered by flexible software. Confidea FLEX uses software licenses to easily add or remove functionality to a device, which makes it easy for integrators to configure a meeting room. Meeting delegates have a full-colour touch screen to see more information, while chairpersons have easy meeting controls at their fingertips.
Feb - Mar 2020
Confidea FLEX has a 5.2” full-colour touch screen with an anti-fingerprint coating to give meeting participants an even better view of the meeting. From speakers and the position in the request lists over voting options to agenda items: more information is available at any time right on the device. Chairpersons get additional controls to make managing meetings even more comfortable. For visually impaired users, tactile guides make the device more user-friendly. Finally, Confidea FLEX uses haptic feedback: the screen recreates the physical touch experience by gently
vibrating. It gives users an extra layer of confidence when they cast a vote, for example. Confidea FLEX also uses software licenses to take the hassle out of managing and configuring large conferences for installers. “Integrators traditionally spend a lot of time to get the right device with the right set of functionality in front of the user,” says Karel Vanheule, Televic Conference Product Manager. “With Confidea FLEX, we’ve radically simplified the process. There’s only one model and you activate functionality with one or more licenses. Voting, identification, interpretation, and more: tap to activate a license, and Confidea FLEX is good to go.” www.televic-conference.com
