"Yamaha has more than 10 years of experience within the UC industry from
working with our enterprise customers in Japan," said Hirofumi (Hogan)
Osawa, executive officer, senior general manager of audio business
division and general manager of UC Department, Yamaha. "Our latest
organizational change and solutions developments are natural steps
toward cultivating those relationships worldwide. With music and sound
technology as one of our core strengths and an investment in significant
resources across the company, we're well-positioned t expand our
presence in this global market segment with our current and future
product suite."
Yamaha acquired Revolabs (News - Alert) in 2014, broadening Yamaha's portfolio and
knowledge in the UC field and further opening the gate for Yamaha into
the UC market. Revolabs is well-known in the industry for its
high-quality audio and conferencing solutions and excellent technology
integration with leading UC service providers and software leaders,
including Microsoft®, Google (News - Alert)™, Cisco®, and Zoom®.
Combined with Yamaha's world-class quality, Revolabs develops superior
conferencing products for its customers.
Revolabs will continue to design, produce, and sell UC conferencing
products under the Yamaha brand. New products will combine the strength
of both companies in their definition, design, and production to address
the projected widening product space in business communications across
all vertical market segments. By fusing their technology and expertise,
Yamaha and Revolabs will provide cross-solution support that will
address the growing range of business communication applications.
The recently announced Yamaha CS-700 Video Sound Collaboration System
for Huddle Rooms is the first jointly engineered UC product from the two
companies. It couples Revolabs' microphone expertise with Yamaha's audio
expertise and strict quality control. Alongside incredible audio, the
CS-700 incorporates a wide-angle HD camera that ensures meeting
participants can see facial expressions and body language that are vital
to successful, productive meetings. This solution, the first to include
video technology from Yamaha, provides users with comprehensive,
high-quality voice, audio, and video that eliminates any operational
challenges and creates more productive, intuitive collaboration
experiences within huddle spaces.
"Successful communication that connects remote meeting participants is
dependent upon exceptional audio and being able to have a
high-resolution picture that captures the nuanced facial expressions
that are part of effective conversation," said Osawa. "With our mission
focused on enhancing customer experience through our products and
services, the CS-700 is a natural evolution of our communication
portfolio. This offering is just the beginning of our joint quest to
enable perfect voice and video that create fulfilling unified
communications experiences."
The Yamaha CS-700 will be exhibited in the
Yamaha and Revolabs booth, booth 3281, at InfoComm
2017, June 14-16(EST) in Orange (News - Alert) County Convention Center in Orlando,
Florida. In addition, Yamaha and Revolabs will show its portfolio of
market-leading solutions for providing customers high-quality UC
experiences.
Yamaha Corporation

its business activities focusing on musical instruments, audio products,
Yamaha music schools, semiconductors, and other products and services

superior audio production in wired and wireless microphones, video sound
collaboration systems, simple plug-and-play audio, and local and
cloud-based management solutions. With its unique expertise and
sensibilities, gained from our devotion to sound and music, Yamaha is
committed to creating excitement and cultural inspiration together with
