YAMAHA RM-CG
Ceiling Array Microphone
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 crom the Yamaha ceiling microphone. According to the received information the program recalls pre-defined camera presets, that frames the active speaker. The notable benefits of this solution are it's tailored approach, fully customizable behaviour, instead of an out of the box videoconferencing device.
Consequently, it adeptly supports hybrid meetings in high-quality meeting rooms.
The integration’s main components are:
- Lightware Taurus UCX/TPX and MMX2 matrix switcher
- Yamaha RM-CG ceiling microphone
- PTZ camera, that can be controlled via Visca protocol
The difference it can bring to your business:
- Customizable solutions to meet the specific needs,
- Integrating seamlessly with Lightware Taurus UCX/TPX and MMX2 products
- Beamforming HVAD (Human Voice Activity Detection) technology guaranteed by Yamaha
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.
Lightware Advanced Room Automation is our future-proof room automation platform created for AV integrators as well as for meeting room participants to help them simplify their everyday interaction with AV technology.
