Project Overview: Native Microsoft Teams Room (MTR) with Advanced AV Integration

Vivro Financial Services wanted to revamp its meeting rooms to accommodate the latest in video conferencing technology, enhancing collaboration across their multiple offices. The primary requirement was to create a modern Microsoft Teams Room (MTR) that would enable seamless communication, video conferencing, and content sharing. Additionally, we aimed to maintain a clutter-free, functional, and aesthetically pleasing environment.

To address these needs, we designed a custom audiovisual and unified collaboration solution for their 12-seater conference room. This space serves as a hub for meetings, presentations, and discussions, enabling effective collaboration for in-person and remote participants.

Solution Highlights

We tailored the following solutions to meet Vivro’s specific needs:

Samsung QB85C Display with Custom Swivel Bracket

Yealink A30-025 Video Bar with Active Tracking Speaker Camera
For video conferencing, we integrated the Yealink A30-025 video bar, which features an active tracking speaker camera. This intelligent camera dynamically follows the speaker, ensuring they remain the focal point of the conversation during meetings. The result is a natural and interactive meeting experience, ideal for maintaining engagement with remote participants.

Native Microsoft Teams Room Integration
We equipped the room with a native Microsoft Teams Room (MTR) system. This setup allows Vivro employees to initiate or join Teams meetings with a single touch, ensuring a smooth, intuitive workflow. The Teams Room includes the Yealink CTP18 Touch Panel for control and the WPP30 Wireless Presentation Solution, enabling hassle-free screen sharing from any device without the need for cables.

Yealink VCM36-W Wireless Table Microphone & VCH51 Content Sharing Hub
Audio clarity is critical in any conferencing environment. We deployed Yealink VCM36-W wireless table microphones across the conference table to ensure crystal-clear audio capture from all participants, regardless of where the seats are located. The microphones’ wireless nature maintains a clean and uncluttered table surface, aligning with the aesthetic vision of Vivro’s leadership.
In addition, the Yealink VCH51 hub integrated is for seamless wired content sharing, giving flexibility to users who prefer a wired connection for presentations.

Room-Cast Yealink 001 for Multi-Screen Sharing
To meet the growing demand for multi-screen presentations, we implemented the Room-Cast Yealink 001. This feature allows up to four users to share their screens simultaneously, all displayed together on the Samsung QB85C. This capability fosters interactive discussions and collaborative problem-solving during meetings, where data from different departments can be reviewed side-by-side.

Kramer Auto-Switcher for Optimized Connectivity
Kramer Auto-Switcher integrated into the system is to manage various AV sources automatically. This device automatically detects active input sources and switches accordingly, simplifying device management and enhancing the user experience.

Yealink RCH40 Network Switch for Reliable Connectivity
To ensure the seamless functioning of all connected devices, a Yealink RCH40 Network Switch is also given in the solution. This device detects active input sources and switches accordingly without requiring manual intervention, further enhancing the user experience by simplifying device management.
