Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha CS-500. This product is a video conferencing device equipped with a camera and microphones. It can be set up for use in huddle spaces and meeting rooms. Combine it with a TV, speakers and video conferencing software (computer) for comfortable teleconferencing.

Features/functions

- Yamaha’s own high-quality audio processing

This device features audio processing functions required for video conferencing, including adaptive echo canceller (AEC), noise reduction (NR) and automatic gain control (AGC). Camera framing area settings and beamforming microphones focus on the speaker's voice and suppress ambient sounds.

● “SoundCap Eye” achieves more comfortable remote communication

"SoundCap Eye" is a function that allows for comfortable remote communication, even in noisy environments. By using the camera to automatically identify the surrounding conditions and conference participants, more optimal sound pickup and output can be achieved.

- Face focus beamforming:

This technology picks up only the voice of the participant whose face is detected by the camera.

- Self-silence:

This technology automatically mutes the microphone when there is no human voice in the captured sound. This prevents unwanted noise from reaching the remote party.

- Self-volume balancer:

This feature constantly adjusts the speaker volume to an appropriate volume depending on the surrounding noise.

Smart framing

With this function, the camera follows the subject according to the mode. The angle of view and zoom are automatically adjusted onto the face detected by the camera. (Smart framing → Page 11)

• Group: Mode that frames all conference participants
• Speaker tracking: Mode that frames the person who is speaking
• Individual: Mode that frames the designated person

● Easy connections via USB

This device and the computer can be connected with one USB cable. This makes it easy to set up and prepare for meetings. (Sample setup → Page 18)

● Automatically turning on/off the device

When the camera built into this device detects a person, the device automatically switches on from standby. (Auto wakeup)

● Easy setup using the remote control and a display

You can display the menu on a TV and specify device settings by using the remote control. (On-screen display menu → Page 26)

With the application software on the computer, more detailed settings can be specified. (Yamaha CS Manager → Page 27)
