Biamp Systems has introduced a ceiling microphone (DCM-1) for its Devio collaboration system.
The Devio CR-1 base unit is bundled with either the DCM-1 ceiling microphone or the DTM-1 tabletop microphone. Both models feature eight element beamforming microphone arrays that track voices within and mix audio across three 120-degree zones. The system has integrated acoustic echo cancellation and noise reduction as well as auto setup. The DCM-1 is designed for installation in rooms with or without drop ceilings.
With the CR-1 base unit, Devio can pass video from the connected laptop to one monitor via a simple HDMI connection, or to two monitors via the included USB 3.0 cable using DisplayLink USB graphics technology.
