Features/functions

 Yamaha's own high-quality audio processing
This device features audio processing functions required for video conferencing, including adaptive echo canceller (AEC),
noise reduction (NR) and automatic gain control (AGC). Camera framing area settings and beamforming microphones
focus on the speaker's voice and suppress ambient sounds.
 "SoundCap Eye" achieves more comfortable remote communication
"SoundCap Eye" is a function that allows for comfortable remote communication, even in noisy environments. By using the
camera to automatically identify the surrounding conditions and conference participants, more optimal sound pickup and
output can be achieved.
- Face focus beamforming:
This technology picks up only the voice of the participant whose face is detected by the camera.
- Self-silence:
This technology automatically mutes the microphone when there is no human voice in the captured sound. This
prevents unwanted noise from reaching the remote party.
- Self-volume balancer:
This feature constantly adjusts the speaker volume to an appropriate volume depending on the surrounding noise.
 Smart framing
With this function, the camera follows the subject according to the mode. The angle of view and zoom are automatically
adjusted onto the face detected by the camera. (Smart framing  Page 11)
- Group: Mode that frames all conference participants
- Speaker tracking: Mode that frames the person who is speaking
- Individual: Mode that frames the designated person

This device and the computer can be connected with one USB cable. This makes it easy to set up and prepare for
meetings. (Sample setup  Page 18)
