BEAVERTON, Oregon — Biamp Systems, a leading provider of innovative, networked media systems, announced today that its Devio^® collaboration tool for the modern workplace earned a prestigious Innovative Products Award from the readers of Sound & Video Contractor magazine. This award celebrates not only the year’s best electronic and mechanical innovations, but also recognizes the engineering and engineers behind each product. The magazine’s readers selected Devio from over 70 product entries.

The Devio platform provides a feature-rich conferencing system for huddle rooms and small meeting spaces, making collaboration simple, efficient, and intuitive. With its easy-to-connect Devio CR-1 base unit and advanced beamforming DCM-1 ceiling or DTM-1 tabletop microphone, meetings are equipped with a high-quality, easy-to-operate, laptop-based audio and video conferencing solution that enhance user engagement and increases meeting productivity.

Easy to install, manage, and control, Devio is a single-box collaboration system that brings high-end audio input and output and easy connectivity to in-room technology, including displays, Web cameras, and more, via a single USB 3.0 connection to a Windows^® or Mac^® OS X^®-based computer. The device’s beamforming microphone options both have three 120-degree zones, providing full 360-degree audio coverage of the meeting space. Both microphones track and intelligently mix conversation from around the table, allowing far-end conference participants to experience the conversation naturally in real time. Devio also features Biamp’s acoustic echo cancellation technology to diminish echo and feedback, while dynamically monitoring the room to lessen or eliminate unwanted background noise.
