Biamp Launches New Conferencing Products

Company announces Parlé audio and video conferencing bars as well as the Impera family of control systems that includes independent controllers, a line of control pads, and controllable relays.

Biamp has announced the launch of new Parlé audio and video conferencing bars as well as the new Impera family of control systems resulting from the integration of Biamp’s existing control products with the Neets portfolio following the company’s acquisition in July of this year.

Parlé conferencing bars combine proprietary Beamtracking microphones, smart loudspeakers, signal processing, an optional 4K camera with auto-framing, and Biamp Launch, the company’s automated deployment and tuning technology. Products include the ABC 2500 Audio Bar with proprietary Biamp Audio Intelligence: a 27-element microphone array creates three Beamtracking zones that can actively track and intelligently mix conversations from around the room; echo cancellation and noise reduction algorithms are designed to help enhance clarity and quality; and smart speaker technology actively adjusts loudspeaker performance. Using Biamp Launch, each of these features is automatically tuned to meet the acoustic needs of each meeting room.

The VBC 2500 Video Bar adds a 4K ePTZ camera with Biamp Video Intelligence to deliver auto-framing and auto-focus, which keeps meeting attendees in view, even as they move around the conference room space. For added security, an automatic privacy shutter covers the camera when not in use. Installation of a Parlé conferencing bar is designed to be straightforward — plugging one USB cable directly into a UC system for a UC room or into a Devio SCR-10 for a BYOD room, and pressing the Launch button to initiate deployment and tuning.

“The explosion of unified communications deployments across businesses of all sizes has made it essential that all conference rooms are outfitted with high-quality audiovisual technology to ensure the best experience for users — and IT departments are seeking complete meeting room solutions that are easy to set up and simple to use,” said Joe Andrulis, executive vice president of corporate development at Biamp. “Parlé conferencing bars are groundbreaking in that they incorporate all of Biamp’s latest innovations in audiovisual technology, ensuring the best possible meeting experience for all participants, as well as an incredibly simple set up process that’s as easy as plugging in one cable and pressing the Launch button. The result is a sleek, all-in-one conferencing bar, offering professional-grade performance unmatched in the market.”

Meanwhile, the new Impera family of control systems are designed to offer simplified configuration-based set up and clear user interfaces for controlling both Biamp and third-party devices. The family includes independent controllers, a line of control pads (keypads with integrated controllers), and controllable relays. Impera control systems are configured with Biamp’s Project Designer, a drag-and-drop program designed to allow integrators to quickly design a room control system and user interface, with built-in support for thousands of popular third-party devices.

“The Impera family of control solutions is an important and significant expansion of Biamp’s control capabilities that we are thrilled to be presenting to our integrators and end users,” Andrulis states. “Our goal is to provide customers the freedom to choose their favorite audiovisual components to use alongside their Biamp systems and, with the introduction of Impera control systems, operate them all through a comprehensive, integrated control interface. Impera control systems include a suite of keypads with integrated controllers and standalone controllers that offer the easy to use, high-performance pro AV control technology that Neets was famous for. Impera controllers can also be used in conjunction with Biamp’s newly introduced Apprimo family of touch interfaces to support the need for more sophisticated touch panel rendered control interfaces.”
