Xilica and Yamaha Unified Communications say the brands have partnered designed to simplify the installation of ceiling audio systems in medium and large collaboration spaces. The joint room solution focusses on integration between the Xilica ecosystem of processors, speakers and control, and Yamaha’s ADECIA RM-CG ceiling-mounted beamforming microphone array, which provides coverage for rooms up to 56 sqm.

The companies say resellers looking to deploy Yamaha’s ADECIA RM-CG system in larger rooms and high-value spaces now have pre-built integration with Xilica’s digital signal processing products offering no-code, drag-and-drop implementation that enables use of the Yamaha ADECIA RM-CG in complex systems without the need for time-consuming implementation. In future, Xilica will enable its Follow Me automated voice-based camera tracking functionality for the Yamaha ADECIA RM-CG integration that enables voice-triggered PTZ camera control from any VISCA-based PTZ camera, including popular models from Aver, Canon, Sony, Lumens and others.

Supported Yamaha ADECIA RM-CG functionality within the Xilica software includes: online/offline status, full LED control, channel level metering, focus area control, as well as beam angle monitoring.

Xilica and Yamaha say the system solution incorporates the Xilica Solaro QR1-UC, a micro-format, PoE-powered DSP with HearClear AEC technology and integrated control; the Xilica Sonia ceiling audio solution, a CatX ceiling speaker system that also provides a PoE-Port for networking and powering the Yamaha Adecia RM-CG, resulting in a single network drop; and the Yamaha ADECIA RM-CG beamforming microphone array. The bundled solution is available at leading distributors around the world, including Exertis Almo in the United States, DataVisual Marketing in Canada, Exertis AV in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Italy, Esistemas in Portugal, and Amber Technology in Australia and New Zealand.
