Yamaha CS-700 Secures Award Win

Yamaha's CS-700 Video Sound Collaboration System has secured AV Technology's Best of Show Award at this year's InfoComm.

The Yamaha CS-700 brings together audio, video, and collaboration capabilities in a wall-mounted system. It features a beamforming microphone array, while four Yamaha speaker elements provide audio intelligibility. Through a single USB cable, the CS-700 is ready to connect to an organisation's chosen UC platform, such as Microsoft Skype for Business, Cisco Spark, GoToConference, Google Chromebox for Meetings, Vidyo, WebEx, Zoom, BlueJeans, and more. The unit's wide-angle video camera captures all meeting participants in the room with its 120° field of view without requiring pan-tilt-zoom functions.

Through the USB connection to a laptop, tablet or room appliance, users can join a meeting with audio and video. This plug-and-play approach allows users to get started without the challenges of disparate video, audio, and collaboration components in the room, thus removing complex steps from the process that can waste meeting time or require the assistance of on-call IT staff.

The wall-mounted system clears clutter from the table, increasing available table space for users in huddle rooms. In addition, the CS-700's integrated network management system allows IT staff to remotely manage each unit from one location.

"Between the collaboration efforts of Yamaha UC and Revolabs' product development teams and engineering leadership, we have developed a solution that makes it easier and clearer to communicate and collaborate while relieving the pain points for technology managers and end-users grappling with an ever-increasing amount of technology," said Mick Kamihara CEO, Revolabs, a wholly owned subsidiary of Yamaha Corporation and part of the Yamaha UC department. "Winning AV Technology's prestigious Best of Show Award is the culmination of the hard work and dedication that has gone into developing the great technology behind the CS-700."
