Yamaha Unified Communications (UC) has added Barco to its Strategic Partner Program, ensuring that Yamaha’s YVC-200 Portable USB & Bluetooth Speakerphone, YVC-330 USB and Bluetooth Speakerphone, and YVC-1000 Mic and Speaker System are tested and certified to operate with Barco ClickShare Wireless Conference for Bring Your Own Meeting (BYOM) room applications.
‘The best digital collaboration tools are fluid and adaptable, bridging the gap between users so they can connect from anywhere and with any device. Yamaha UC’s growing list of partnerships ensures collaboration across all the major communication platforms is simple and effective,’ says Yamaha UC VP of Sales & Marketing, Michael Fitch. ‘Barco’s wireless conferencing solutions deliver a streamlined experience that brings teams together anywhere in the world. With this partnership, users can choose the solution they need, plug it in, and join the meeting with no fuss and audio that sounds as good as face-to-face.’
Barco’s ClickShare Wireless Conference range of products work with YVC Series speakerphones as well as the end-users’ display and camera set-ups without the need to physically connecting devices using cables and adapters. Both Yamaha UC solutions and Barco ClickShare operate with all current UC platforms.
‘Our partnership with Yamaha brings customers unrivaled audio quality and unique simplicity in hybrid meetings,’ says Barco VP of Global Alliances, Dave Fitzgerald. ‘Our easy-to-use, agnostic, wireless conferencing solution was tested and confirmed to work seamlessly with the best-in-class audio solutions from Yamaha. Together, these solutions create an engaging meeting experience for in-room and remote participants that is just as natural as any face-to-face meeting.’
Yamaha UC and Barco ClickShare Conferencing offer device configurations to suit a customer’s room size, group size, and collaboration needs. For small meeting rooms with up to four people, the YVC-200 and ClickShare CX-20 enable reliable communication. Meeting rooms with four-to-ten people will benefit from the YVC-330, which features Yamaha’s SoundCap technology to eliminate background noise, and ClickShare CX-30 with touch back, annotation, and blackboarding capabilities. In addition, two YVC-330s can be daisy-chained to cover up to 16 participants. Large meeting spaces where up to 40 people can gather will require the YVC-1000’s separate microphone and speaker system along with ClickShare CX-50’s A/V quality driving multi-content sharing.
