Perhaps the most unusual NEW product (or product concept) we saw at InfoComm was buried at the back of the hall in the Yamaha booth. The company introduced a very high end speakerphone/microphone array a year ago at out Berlin Summit. This is now available in several versions; it has also morphed into the PJP-300V. Think of this as a set top peripheral that serves as an intelligent front end to the codec of your choice (Yamaha has a codec as well). The device contains 16 microphones for outstanding pickup and voice tracking and three cameras that switch according to the active speaker identification.

This was interesting and would like to see it working in a real situation – technology appears to be similar to Lifesize’s microphone pod.
