Yamaha CS-800 Video Conference Equipment
The Yamaha CS-800 Video Conference Equipment is the all-in-one collaboration powerhouse your meeting spaces have been waiting for. Combining a high-performance 4K camera, a precision microphone array, and an integrated speaker, it delivers crystal-clear video and voice with effortless setup. Built for modern hybrid workplaces, the CS-800 uses SoundCap Eye 4K technology and Smart Framing to keep participants perfectly framed as conversations unfold. With a single USB connection, you can plug in and start collaborating immediately, reducing setup time and clutter while delivering professional audio and video experiences for every conference room.
All-in-one video conference system for cleaner rooms: The CS-800 consolidates camera, microphone, and speaker into a single, elegant housing designed to minimize desk clutter and maximize room aesthetics. The compact footprint fits small huddle spaces as well as larger, more formal conference rooms. The SoundCap Eye 4K camera brings rich detail and natural color, while Smart Framing automatically adjusts to keep all participants centered, even as people move or rotate during a discussion. The built-in hexacapture beamforming microphone array ensures voices are picked up crisply from across the room, delivering a balanced, room-filling sound without the need for external mics or add-ons. This single-device approach simplifies installation and reduces cable management concerns, enabling a faster path from setup to productive meetings.
Advanced audio intelligence for every environment: The CS-800 is engineered for executive-style clarity in a variety of acoustic spaces. An adaptive echo canceller and noise reduction system minimizes feedback and suppresses ambient noise, so participants hear and are heard with minimal distraction. The hexamicrophone beamforming array intelligently focuses on active speakers, reducing reverberation and off-axis noise. This means you can confidently conduct long-form meetings, training sessions, or presentations without constantly adjusting levels or rerouting audio. The embedded speaker delivers sufficient SPL to fill a standard conference room while preserving speech intelligibility, even when remote participants join via mobile devices with varying audio quality. The result is a natural, engaging conversation that feels as if everyone is in the same room.
High-fidelity visuals with 4K precision: The SoundCap Eye 4K camera delivers stunning detail and color accuracy, ensuring that faces and expressions come through with clarity. Smart Framing automatically tracks participants, keeping speakers in the center of the frame while preserving context and body language cues that are critical for effective communication. This level of visual fidelity is especially valuable for remote teams, interviews, and presentations where nonverbal communication plays a key role. The combination of 4K resolution and intelligent framing helps you create a more engaging, productive meeting experience that translates into better collaboration and faster consensus.
One-USB connection for fast, plug-and-play setup: The CS-800 is designed to streamline IT and user workflows. With a single USB connection, the entire system—camera, microphone, and speaker—powers and communicates with your computer or meeting room device. No complex driver installs or multi-cable setups, reducing the risk of configuration errors and downtime. This USB-centric approach ensures broad compatibility with leading video conferencing platforms, including Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, and other standards-driven solutions, so you can deploy with confidence across diverse environments and teams.
Intuitive controls and room-ready design: The CS-800 includes a dedicated remote control with a prominent mute button, giving participants quick, tactile access to essential audio controls during meetings. This immediate feedback loop helps maintain meeting flow and privacy when needed. The device’s robust construction and thoughtful design make it suitable for busy office environments, with easy mounting options and cable routing that keep the workspace neat. For IT teams, the system’s consistent behavior, reliable USB connectivity, and straightforward management reduce troubleshooting time and increase user adoption—key factors for a successful hybrid meeting strategy.

How to install Yamaha CS-800 Video Conference Equipment
- Place the CS-800 on a stable surface at or just above eye level to optimize camera framing. If mounting is preferred, use a suitable monitor arm or wall mount compatible with the unit’s dimensions and weight.
- Connect the device to your computer or conferencing hub using the single USB cable. Ensure the host device recognizes the CS-800 as an audio and video input/output device. In most cases, no driver installation is required, but verify that your operating system and meeting platform allow USB devices to be used as the camera and microphone.
- Power considerations: The CS-800 is designed for USB-powered operation in typical configurations. If your setup requires, connect to a powered USB hub or a direct USB port on a computer with sufficient power to avoid performance drops during intensive meetings.
- Configure audio and video settings within your chosen conferencing platform. Select the CS-800 as the default microphone, speakers, and camera. Test a quick call to confirm optimal audio pickup, framing, and video clarity before a live meeting.
- Position the room optimally for voice pickup: seat participants so the primary speakers are within the 1–2 meter range of the microphone array, and avoid placing large reflective surfaces directly in front of the camera to prevent glare or color distortion.
- Use the remote mute button for quick privacy and control. Additionally, if you require access to advanced features, explore your platform’s settings for echo suppression and noise reduction options to complement the CS-800’s built-in processing.
