Biamp Raises the Video Bar

Biamp revealed the newest member of its highly-regarded Parlé conferencing bar line: the Parlé VBC 2800, a high performance all-in-one video bar with upgraded camera optics ideal for all meeting spaces up to and including large rooms. The Parlé VBC 2800 features a dual camera system with 120° horizontal field of view and up to 16x digital zoom with a 50-megapixel image sensor, offering enhanced field of vision and clearer digital zoom. This same camera technology is available in the new Vidi 280 compact electronic pan-tilt-zoom (ePTZ) conference room camera. With the release of these new products, Biamp now features product lines of conferencing bars and cameras that outfit any size conference room.

“Biamp customers consistently tell us our Parlé VBC 2500 is the best-sounding video conferencing bar on the market, with exceptional microphone range,” said Joe Andrulis, Executive Vice President of Corporate Development at Biamp. “In our new VBC 2800 conferencing bar, Biamp takes this same extraordinary audio capability and adds the latest in camera technology to accommodate larger conference rooms and answer customer demand. Biamp used this same advanced dual lens ePTZ camera system created for the Parlé VBC 2800 for the new compact Vidi 280 camera, letting remote attendees clearly see everyone in the room for an extraordinary conferencing experience for all participants.”

Both the Parlé VBC 2800 and Vidi 280 conference room camera feature a dual 4K UHD ePTZ camera systems with AI auto framing that automatically switches between cameras for the best shot. Compact and silent, this dual camera system features a 16x zoom that delivers long-range image fidelity and sharpness of meeting attendees further down the table in larger meeting rooms.

With integrated Acoustic Echo Cancellation and industry-leading AI Noise Reduction to suppress distracting sounds, the Parlé VBC 2800 utilizes a 27-microphone array and Biamp Beamtracking technology that actively tracks and intelligently mix conversations from around the room. Two smart speakers use distortion compensation and dynamic bass enhancement technology to create room filling audio with superior speech reproduction for effective, efficient meetings. Using one touch AI-powered Biamp Launch, this bar can be setup and optimized for extraordinary audio customized delivering the best performance for the room’s unique specifications.

For those requiring a powerful camera and simplified setup, the Vidi 280 is a small, unobtrusive stand-alone conferencing camera that is easy to mount around a display and easy to connect to room experience systems, including unified communication platforms such as Microsoft Teams or Zoom or BYOM systems such as Biamp MAX Connect. The Vidi 280 enclosure also includes a built-in five-element microphone array for audio needs, but it can also be paired with the Parlé ABC 2500a conferencing audio bar for a higher performance AV meeting room experience.

Parlé conferencing bars and Vidi cameras utilize USB-C for connectivity. For more information about the Parlé VBC 2800 and the Vidi 280, along with the entire lineup of Biamp conferencing hardware for rooms of all sizes, visit www.biamp.com.
