Introduction

In today’s remote work landscape, effective video conferencing solutions are essential for connecting teams across distances and facilitating seamless communication. Yealink, a leader in the industry, offers two powerful options tailored to different needs: the MVC860 and MVC400. Both systems are designed to enhance the Microsoft Teams Rooms experience, providing robust features that cater to various room sizes and purposes. This blog will explore the key features and benefits of each system, helping you determine which solution best fits your organisation's requirements.

1. Room Size and Purpose

MVC860: The MVC860 is specifically designed for medium to large conference rooms, providing a premium Microsoft Teams Rooms experience. It includes the UVC86 4K dual-eye tracking camera, the MCore mini-PC, and the MTouch II touch panel. The UVC86 camera’s dual-lens system ensures that every participant in the room is captured with exceptional clarity, making it perfect for larger meetings where multiple participants need to be seen clearly. The MCore mini-PC and MTouch II touch panel work seamlessly together to offer a smooth and intuitive user experience, making it easy to manage meetings and control settings.

MVC400: On the other hand, the MVC400 is ideal for small and huddle rooms. It features the UVC40 USB video bar, the MCore Pro mini-PC, and the MTouch E2 control tablet. The UVC40’s all-in-one design simplifies installation and setup, making it a perfect fit for smaller spaces. Despite its compact form factor, the MVC400 does not compromise on quality, delivering sharp video and clear audio. This makes it an excellent choice for businesses that need a reliable video conferencing solution for smaller rooms or quick huddle meetings.

2. Camera Technology

MVC860: The MVC860’s dual 4K camera is equipped with advanced AI-driven features like Auto Framing, Speaker Tracking, and Presenter Tracking. Auto Framing automatically adjusts the camera to include all participants in the frame, ensuring that everyone is visible. Speaker Tracking dynamically focuses on the person speaking, enhancing engagement and interaction. Presenter Tracking follows the movement of the presenter, making it ideal for dynamic presentations and training sessions. These features make the MVC860 a versatile and powerful tool for large meetings and presentations.

MVC400: The MVC400 is equipped with the UVC40 camera, which also offers impressive AI capabilities such as auto framing and speaker tracking. These features provide a smart, hands-free video experience, allowing participants to focus on the meeting rather than adjusting the camera. While it may not have the dual-camera setup of the MVC860, the UVC40’s capabilities are more than sufficient for small to medium-sized rooms, ensuring clear and focused video for all participants.

3. Audio Options

MVC860: The MVC860 provides a variety of audio options to suit different room sizes and configurations. You can choose from the VCM34, VCM38, or CPW90 microphones, all of which deliver excellent audio quality. The VCM34 and VCM38 are table and ceiling microphones, respectively, offering flexibility in placement and ensuring that every participant’s voice is captured clearly. The CPW90 wireless microphone adds even more flexibility, allowing participants to move around the room without losing audio quality. Combined with the MSpeaker II soundbar, these microphones ensure that every voice is heard with crystal clarity, making the MVC860 ideal for larger rooms and important meetings.

MVC400: The MVC400 integrates microphone arrays and a premium speaker into the UVC40 video bar, providing high-quality audio without the need for additional equipment. This all-in-one design simplifies setup and reduces clutter, making it perfect for smaller spaces. The integrated microphones are designed to pick up voices clearly from all directions, ensuring that everyone in the room is heard. The premium speaker delivers clear, rich audio, making the MVC400 an excellent choice for huddle rooms and small meeting spaces.

4. Content Sharing

MVC860: The MVC860 excels in content sharing, offering both wireless and wired options. With the Yealink WPP20 wireless presentation pod, users can share content effortlessly from their devices without the need for cables. For those who prefer wired connections, the MVC860 provides USB-C and HDMI ports, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of devices. This flexibility makes it easy to share presentations, documents, and videos, enhancing collaboration and productivity. Whether you’re sharing a quick update or a detailed presentation, the MVC860 makes content sharing simple and efficient.

MVC400: The MVC400 is designed with simplicity in mind, featuring a native Teams-tailored interface that ensures easy one-touch join and content sharing. This integration makes it simple for users to connect their devices and share content, reducing the time spent on setup and increasing the focus on collaboration. The intuitive interface and easy connectivity make the MVC400 an excellent choice for smaller teams that need to share content quickly and efficiently during meetings.

5. Remote Management

Both the MVC860 and MVC400 support Yealink’s Device Management Platform/Cloud Service, providing robust remote management capabilities. This platform allows IT administrators to monitor, manage, and troubleshoot devices from anywhere, ensuring that all meeting rooms are always ready for use. Administrators can update settings, deploy firmware updates, and diagnose issues remotely, reducing the need for on-site support and ensuring smooth operation. This capability is especially valuable for organisations with multiple meeting rooms or locations, as it simplifies device management and enhances overall efficiency.
