Operation
The Parlé Conference bars act as USB peripherals that are connected to USB
host devices. Audio and video control is available to the connected host device's
operating system and conferencing apps.
Biamp's Camera Controller software can be downloaded (here). This software is
used to facilitate firmware updates to both bar models, and can provide additional
camera controls for the VBC bar. The file must be downloaded from the Biamp
website first and then the firmware update can be initiated from the software.
Biamp Launch is the smart technology to optimize the audio for the room.
Pressing the Launch button customizes the audio coverage based on the room's
characteristics. The LEDs on the front panel will flash red/green slowly until
Lanuch is initiated, and then during the Launch process. If necessary, the Launch
process can be interrupted by following the factory reset procedure below.
