When a leading global enterprise approached their AV integration partner with a challenge, the integrator turned to AVD. The mission: deliver cutting-edge hybrid meeting technology that would support seamless communication across distributed teams whilst maintaining executive-grade professionalism. The solution: Yealink’s industry-leading MVC860 system, sourced and supported through AVD’s partnership ecosystem.
The Business Challenge
A global enterprise with operations across multiple continents needed to modernise its executive boardroom to support hybrid meetings. The boardroom accommodates 15-20 executives for strategic planning, board meetings, and cross-border collaboration. With teams distributed across time zones, the organisation needed:
Their previous conferencing system left significant blind spots. Audio dead zones meant peripheral participants weren’t heard. Manual camera controls created distractions. The complexity required on-site technical support for every meeting. Hybrid meetings felt disjointed, with remote participants sensing they were second-class participants in the room.
Why Yealink MVC860
The integration partner specified Yealink’s MVC860-C5-713 system, engineered specifically for large boardrooms with hybrid work demands. AVD became the trusted partner enabling this deployment across Australia and New Zealand, bringing world-class technology with local expertise and support.
Core System Architecture
UVC86 12X Optical PTZ Camera: A 4K dual-eye intelligent camera with automatic speaker tracking. Instead of fixed angles or manual pan-tilt control, the system intelligently focuses on whoever is speaking in real time. This keeps remote participants visually engaged with the active speaker.
Dual VCM35 Array Microphones: The critical difference. Two advanced array microphones with 360-degree pickup up to 6 metres eliminate audio dead zones. Whether an executive sits at the head of the table or periphery, they’re captured with equal clarity. No more “Can you speak up?” moments from boardroom participants.
Yealink MSpeaker II: Powerful, balanced audio delivery ensuring remote participants hear the boardroom conversation as if sitting at the table.
MCoreKit-C5: Single-touch meeting control. MTouch Plus panel on the boardroom table, MCore Pro mini-PC, and room sensor provide unified control through an intuitive interface. No complexity.
Windows 10 IoT Enterprise + Microsoft Teams Rooms: Pre-configured and deployment-ready. Native Teams integration, no additional licensing, no lengthy IT setup.
The Deployment
AVD worked closely with the integration partner to source the complete system and provide technical support throughout deployment. The clean cable architecture used an RCH40 PoE switch, minimising visible wiring. Dual VCM35 microphones were positioned strategically across the boardroom table to ensure uniform audio capture regardless of seating. The PTZ camera was mounted optimally for 4K capture and automatic speaker focus.
Because the system came pre-loaded with Windows 10 IoT and Teams Rooms, the boardroom was operational immediately. No configuration delays. No steep learning curve for executives unfamiliar with AV.
The Results
The transformation was immediate. Executives reported that hybrid meetings now felt inclusive, not fragmented. Remote participants said they felt “genuinely present in the room” rather than speaking to a black screen.
Audio is no longer a problem. The dual VCM35 arrays eliminate dead zones. Every participant, regardless of position, is heard clearly by remote attendees. No more request for repeats or clarification.
Camera follows the conversation. Automatic speaker tracking keeps remote participants visually engaged with whoever is speaking. The 12X optical zoom captures sharp detail even at the far end of the table, conveying subtle body language and reactions.
Executives own the meetings. A single touch on MTouch Plus starts the meeting. No IT required. Executives of varying technical proficiency control the system intuitively. Meetings start on time, no technical delays.
Professional aesthetics maintained. The clean cable architecture and minimalist control interface preserve the executive boardroom environment. Technology supports the space, not dominates it.
