Yamaha Unified Communications and AI-powered conference camera specialist Huddly have paired the new Yamaha ESB-1080 Enterprise Sound Bar with Huddly’s AI wide-angle USB camera to create the Yamaha Collaboration Kit.

‘Meeting participants demand two things no matter where they’re meeting – a seamless, intuitive experience and superior audio and video quality,’ says Yamaha Unified Communications VP of Sales & Marketing, Michael Fitch. ‘As we continue to expand Yamaha’s wide breadth of superior UC solutions, these requirements are at the core of our design.’’

Initially available only in North America, the kit combines Yamaha audio and Huddly cameras. Yamaha’s ESB-1080 provides an immersive feeling with clear, dynamic, full-range speaker output for conference rooms. The soundbar’s two built-in subwoofers and bass-reflex port deliver full-range sound in conjunction with two dome tweeters and two woofers. Its conference mode preset is specialised for installation in conference room spaces with enterprise-demanded functions for easy administration. The compact and elegant design, automatic sound optimisation, and versatile mounting options make it well suited to various enterprise needs and designs.

The kit’s camera provides 150° wide-angle 1080p video, an embedded mic array, automated AI features, and the Huddly InSights analytics API. With the Genius Framing feature, the camera can automatically detect and frame participants in its field of view, eliminating the need to manually control the camera.

The Yamaha Collaboration Kit is best matched to medium-size conference spaces for remote collaboration and presentation with simple connections to a laptop and monitor.
