Surface Hub External Mic
We are looking at Biamp and Vaddio solutions. I have successfully tested with a Polycom Trio in USB mode and a Polycom CX5100. Both worked great. I don't see why a Biamp Devio or Vaddio solution wouldn't work equally well.
FYI, I think I read somewhere that Biamp fixed that mute sync issue with Surface Hub and Devio.
Hi David,
I'm in the same bag. I have a long conference room, and will be installing a Surface Hub on one end, and I anticipate the need for extra microphones. I have a Polycom CX5500 currently in that room, basically the same as a CX5100 which you said you succesfully tested. Is there a reason you are looking into other options, since you said that worked great? Perhaps, you are investigating additional equipment such as speakers, etc., as I am also. You are a step ahead of me, so appreciate the discussion.
Hey Brian,
It comes down to personal preference for me. The Polycom CX series has a 360 degree camera that I feel is better suited for a smaller space. When participants are looking at the screen and speaking, the camera on the CX will be showing the side of their face or back of their head, depending on where it is located in the room.
If there's no existing room audio, I would personally go for a Biamp Devio and either use the existing cameras or install a Logitech PTZ Pro 2. If there is room audio, you could use a Vaddio USB A/V bridge to link room audio with your Surface Hub.
