Biamp Announces Zoom Intelligent Director Certification for Parlé VBC 2500a Conference Bar and Vidi 250 Conferencing Camera

BEAVERTON, Ore. — Biamp, a leading supplier of professional audiovisual solutions, today announced that its Parlé VBC 2500a conferencing bar and Vidi 250 conferencing camera are now certified for Intelligent Director for Zoom Rooms. For hybrid meetings with a Zoom Room, Intelligent Director uses AI and multiple cameras to give each participant within a meeting room their own space in Zoom Meetings, with the best image and angle, so remote participants can see each person clearly, even in large conference rooms.

“Biamp is committed to designing conferencing solutions that enhance experience equity. Our goal is always to ensure that every meeting participant, whether they’re in the room or remote, sees and hears every other meeting participant clearly so that meetings are effective and enjoyable for all,” said Joe Andrulis, Executive Vice President of Corporate Development at Biamp. “We are thrilled to be able to offer our customers two options that are certified for Zoom Intelligent Director, ensuring that our customers can connect face-to-face in Zoom Rooms with high-quality Biamp conferencing solutions that are extraordinarily easy to implement and easy to use.”

The Parlé VBC 2500a conferencing bar includes a 4K camera with auto-framing to identify meeting participants and keep them in focus; built-in Beamtracking™ microphones to actively track and intelligently mix conversations from around the room; smart loudspeakers for superior speech reproduction; a discrete output for Assistive Listening Systems; and advanced signal processing with integrated echo cancellation and AI noise reduction—all within one plug-and-play package. For quick and easy startup, the Biamp Launch feature automatically deploys tuning software that analyzes and optimizes the acoustic performance of any room at the touch of button, delivering both a premium conferencing experience to users while offering significant time savings for installers and information technology professionals. Parlé conferencing bars are highly flexible—including easy mounting to a display panel, installation on a wall, or placement on a tabletop—connecting to the Zoom Room with a single USB.

The compact Vidi 250 conferencing camera includes a 12MP sensor that supports 4K video with a 120-degree field of view, while allowing for electronic pan-tilt-zoom with no image degradation. Advanced features include premium optics that eliminate image distortion and smooth automatic participant framing, zooming, and focus functionality, along with a built-in microphone array. The camera also includes flexible mounting options for easy positioning above, below, or on either side of a video display or on a wall.
