Biamp announced that its Parlé VBC 2500a conferencing bar and Vidi 250 conferencing camera are now certified for Intelligent Director for Zoom Rooms. For hybrid meetings with a Zoom Room, Intelligent Director uses AI and multiple cameras to give each participant within a meeting room their own space in Zoom Meetings, with the best image and angle, so remote participants can see each person clearly, even in large conference rooms.

Biamp says the Parlé VBC 2500a conferencing bar includes a 4K camera with auto-framing to identify meeting participants and keep them in focus; built-in Beamtracking microphones to actively track and intelligently mix conversations from around the room; smart loudspeakers for speech reproduction; a discrete output for Assistive Listening Systems; and signal processing with integrated echo cancellation and AI noise reduction—all within one plug-and-play package.

According to the company, the compact Vidi 250 conferencing camera includes a 12MP sensor that supports 4K video with a 120-degree field of view, while allowing for electronic pan-tilt-zoom with no image degradation. Advanced features include premium optics that eliminate image distortion and smooth automatic participant framing, zooming and focus functionality, along with a built-in microphone array. The camera also includes flexible mounting options for easy positioning above, below or on either side of a video display or on a wall.
