Yealink large meeting room systems for Dubai & the UAE.
When the boardroom makes your company look smaller than it is.
The small rooms work. The bar on the wall handles ten people, the meeting starts on one tap, and nobody thinks about the technology. Then the CEO calls an all-hands in the big room, or a client walks into the main boardroom, and something quietly goes wrong. The far end of the table disappears. A voice from the back arrives thin. The remote participants — politely, without saying anything — stop looking at anyone sitting past the halfway point. This page is the answer to that room: multi-camera architecture, ceiling audio, and the AVHub processor that makes five cameras behave as one. Vector Digital Systems — Yealink Premium Partner for MEA, designing and installing large room systems across all seven UAE emirates since 2009.
- Every seat visible — cameras where people sit, not where the wall allows
- Active speaker found automatically — no operator, no remote control
- Every voice from the ceiling — the table stays clean
- Grows from three cameras to nine — same processor, two cable runs
- Divisible venues switch between one room and two, automatically
- Every component named on the quotation before you approve anything
The meeting that split in two — and nobody said anything
Every large room failure looks the same. And it never announces itself as a failure.
The room seats sixteen. Good equipment — a bar under the display, a microphone on the table. For the eight people at the near end, it works fine. They're heard, they're seen, the remote team talks to them naturally.
For the eight people at the far end, something different is happening. The camera sees them as small faces at the edge of a wide shot. Their voices arrive at the far end half a second behind and a shade too quiet. The remote participants — without deciding to — begin addressing only the near half of the room. The people at the far end learn, across three or four meetings, to wait until someone asks them directly. They stop volunteering.
Nobody files a complaint. Nothing is broken. The bar is doing exactly what it was built to do — it's just in a room it wasn't built for. The MD mentions it to the IT manager after a board meeting. The facilities team gets a brief: "Sort out the big room." That is usually how this conversation starts — not with a specification, but with the uncomfortable pause that follows a room where half the people weren't really there.
What went wrong isn't the camera. It's the architecture. One point of view cannot serve a room where the conversation happens in more than one place. A larger camera doesn't fix it. A better microphone doesn't fix it. The room needs eyes in more than one position, ears in the ceiling, and something intelligent deciding which view is live at each moment.
Say it simply: a large room is not a bigger small room. It's a different problem that needs a different answer.
You don't need to test the room — you've already seen what it does
Large rooms announce their limits in the same three ways. By the time someone calls us, at least one of them has already happened.
The shrinking face
Someone speaks from the far end and the camera — working exactly as designed — holds its wide shot to keep everyone in frame. The face at the back is small. The name below it on screen is unreadable. The remote attendee is technically present and practically invisible. The room is simply longer than the camera was designed for.
The missing seat
The table is U-shaped. Or the room has seating along the walls — a formal council arrangement, a majlis layout, a side gallery. The camera faces forward because that's where cameras mount, and everything to the left and right of its cone goes unseen. Not through any fault. The physical geometry of the room places people outside the camera's reach by design. The person sitting at the side of the table paid to be in that meeting. The camera that can't see them is quietly telling them something about their importance — and the remote participants feel it too.
The voice that doesn't carry
A question from the back row arrives quietly in the microphone and reaches the far end below the noise floor of the call. The remote participant asks for a repeat. The person raises their voice, which feels wrong in a professional meeting. The ceiling is too high, the table too long, or the reverb too strong for a device sitting on furniture to overcome. The audio is doing its best in the wrong position.
Any one of these signs means the room has outgrown its current setup. None of them fix with a settings change or a firmware update — they fix with a camera in the right position, audio from the ceiling, and a processor coordinating both. The page you're reading was built for exactly one of those three signs.
If your room passes all three — the depth is within eight metres, everyone faces forward, and voices carry cleanly to the table microphone — a premium all-in-one bar handles it. The MeetingBar page covers that architecture in full.
Three things every large room needs — and why all three have to be there at once
Before any product name matters, the architecture has to make sense. Rooms fail at scale when one of these three is missing.
- A presenter zone, the main table, side seating — all different positions
- No single camera covers a distributed room properly
- One camera per zone, each seeing its zone clearly, permanently
- The far end sees the speaker regardless of where they sit
- Optical reach handles depth; multiple positions handle width
- Table microphones cover circles of two metres each — gaps between them
- Ceiling microphones create a grid — every seat inside a zone
- Nothing on the table, no cables across it, no pods for catering to work around
- Far-end audio arrives at even volume from first row to last
- The table belongs to the people in the room
- Five cameras with no coordinator default to a fixed wide shot
- The AVHub identifies the active speaker and cuts to the right camera automatically
- Director logic runs continuously — no operator, no remote control
- Teams and Zoom receive the room as one intelligent camera feed
- The room edits itself
Eyes, ears, brain. Once those three exist, the product names below stop being a catalogue and become choices.
The AVHub — the piece of the large room most buyers have never been shown
Your IT manager knows what a camera is. The AVHub is the device that makes five cameras behave as one — and it's the difference between a room with cameras and a room that works.
Here is the problem it solves. You have a sixteen-seat boardroom. You've been told to put in a multi-camera system. Five cameras go up — one facing the presenter wall, two covering the front of the table, two covering the rear rows. The cameras are good. Now the question arrives: which one is the meeting? Microsoft Teams sees five separate video devices. Someone in the room has to pick the right camera before each meeting starts, which nobody remembers to do, so the system defaults to Camera 1 and the back half of the room disappears again. The architecture failed — not the cameras.
The AVHub fixes this by becoming the room's director. All cameras connect to it over standard PoE network cables — one Cat cable per camera carrying both video and power, so a camera position needs a cable run and nothing else. No local power socket. No separate video line. Inside the hub, the director logic identifies the active speaker through the room's microphones and cuts to the camera with the best angle on that person — without instruction from the room. Microsoft Teams receives the whole system as a single USB 3.0 connection. Teams sees one camera. The hub is the room.
The scaling logic is the part that changes how you think about the purchase. The AVHub accepts up to nine cameras. Commission the room with three today. When the room grows — a renovation adds a side gallery, a U-shaped table replaces the straight one — two more cable runs to the hub's spare ports and two more cameras appear in the MTouch Plus layout. No new processor. No re-architect. The system you buy for today's brief serves the room after next year's renovation without another capital decision.
Camera layouts are controlled from the MTouch Plus console on the table — the same console that starts the meeting, ends it, and adjusts the volume. The person hosting can switch between director mode, a fixed layout, or a custom arrangement mid-meeting. One device runs everything. AV-LAN separation on the MCore 4 keeps all camera traffic off the corporate network by default — a security standard the IT manager doesn't need to configure, because it's already done.
One installation rule applies to every job and we apply it without exception: cameras connect to the AVHub through their dedicated PoE ports — never through the room's general LAN switch. Routing camera traffic through office network equipment breaks the tracking intelligence and introduces frame drops. It's the most common fault we find in large rooms installed without Yealink-specific experience, and the first thing we check when a client calls about a system someone else built. We stage and verify the AVHub, cameras and cabling before anything reaches your site.
Up to 9 cameras — one processor
Spare ports on the hub mean the room grows by patching in more cameras, not by replacing any hardware. A three-camera install becomes five with two cable runs. A five-camera install becomes nine by the same logic.
WPP30 — wireless at the table
A guest plugs a WPP30 dongle into their USB-A port and taps to share. Their laptop screen appears on the room's display wirelessly. No HDMI cables across a sixteen-seat table. The WPP30 receiver sits in the room's sharing port permanently.
VCH51 Pro — single-cable BYOD
One USB-C cable from the VCH51 Pro to the guest laptop gives them the room's cameras, ceiling audio and speakers — on any platform they're running. Teams, Zoom, Meet, Webex. Unplug and the room returns to native mode.
Windows Autopilot — estate management
New rooms join the management estate automatically. The IT admin configures the policy once in Teams Admin Center — every subsequent MCore 4 that arrives provisions itself. No engineer visit per room to configure the basics.
Say it simply: every camera in. One cable out. The room edits itself.
Four named answers — the geometry of your room picks between them
Same architecture, different configurations. The room's shape and the work it does select the right system.
MVC S80 — the front-facing large room
The room where everyone faces forward: town hall, training theatre, lecture room, presentation space. The action happens in one direction and the problem is depth, not distribution. The S80 pairs the SmartVision 80 — a quad-lens camera with 20x optical zoom tracking to twenty metres — with the MCore 4 engine and MTouch Plus console. One camera position. Four lenses inside it. Every row sharp at every depth. Full camera and lens detail on the cameras page.
MVC S90 — the multi-camera room
The room where the action happens everywhere: the deep boardroom, the U-shaped council layout, the majlis with wall seating, the corporate town hall where the CEO is at the front and the question comes from the side gallery. This is the architecture that fixes the sixteen-seat boardroom from the opening of this page — multiple UVC86 dual-eye cameras, the AVHub directing between them, MCore 4 running Teams. The far end experiences the room as a produced meeting. Every speaker found and framed, wherever they sit.
MVC S98 — the venue inside the building
The room that is part of a larger AV estate: council chamber where audio runs on a Dante backbone, auditorium where camera feeds go to recording and overflow displays, multi-use venue where the AV joins the building's infrastructure rather than sits beside it. NDI carries video-over-IP to production systems. Dante carries audio-over-IP into existing DSP networks. The room becomes part of the building instead of an island inside it.
MeetingBoard 86 Pro — when the whiteboard is the work
The training room. The workshop. The collaborative space for twelve to twenty people where the display is the canvas and the video call is secondary. Not every large room is a meeting — some are working sessions. The 86-inch MeetingBoard Pro carries display, cameras, audio and whiteboard in one wall-mounted device. The MB-12X Pro extends optical reach in deeper rooms. The full board story — including Windows OPS, dual-screen output and HDMI Cast Mode — is on the MeetingBoard page.
Bundle composition, the Teams Rooms licence truth, and what Copilot actually requires are covered in full on the Teams Rooms page. This page picks the system; that page explains what's inside it.
The room that is worth three times as much when the wall moves — and the AV follows it
The most valuable meeting space in the building is often not a room at all — it's two rooms with a movable wall between them. Three configurations from one footprint. Three bookable products from one asset.
A hotel ballroom that splits into two training venues. A corporate hall that becomes two boardrooms on Tuesday and one town hall on Thursday. A training centre where the partition position decides whether today holds one class of forty or two classes of twenty. Divisible venues earn their keep by being more than one space — but only if the AV follows the wall without an engineer visiting every time it moves.
- Infrared sensor mounts at the movable wall's track
- 1.5-metre detection range — precise, low false-trigger rate
- 10-metre cable to the room controller
- Detects one thing: is the wall open or closed
- Sends that fact to the AP08 instantly, continuously
- GPIO room controller speaks to both AV systems simultaneously
- Wall closed: two independent rooms, two separate meetings, audio zones isolated
- Wall open: one combined venue — cameras merge, audio joins, one console commands both sides
- Reconfiguration is automatic and immediate
- No AV technician required on-site during the event
- Room A alone — independent meeting, independent audio
- Room B alone — independent meeting, independent audio
- Combined space — one meeting, full camera and audio coverage
- Staff move the wall. The system handles everything else.
- The venue's revenue model does not depend on AV staffing
We survey divisible projects with specific questions: partition track type, sensor mounting position, audio zone isolation targets, and which side's console commands combined mode. Getting one of these wrong creates the problem the automation was meant to prevent — and it shows up at the biggest booking of the year, not the smallest. Our scope document for divisible venues states every one of these as a named design decision before the quotation is issued.
Say it simply: the wall moves. The rooms follow. No technician required.
The table belongs to the people — the ceiling belongs to the microphones
The audio decision in a large room gets made correctly or it creates a problem no other part of the system can compensate for. The camera can find the speaker. The hub can cut to the right view. If the microphone can't hear the voice, the far end gets a clear picture of someone they cannot understand.
Table microphones do honest work in small rooms. In large rooms they accumulate problems that compound each other. Each pod covers a circle of roughly two metres — in a twelve-metre room you need six, daisy-chained across the table with cables that catering works around and someone eventually unplugs to charge a laptop. The coverage map always has soft spots. They land exactly where the quietest person sits, because the people most likely to be quiet are already at the edge of coverage. In glass-walled rooms — common in Dubai's modern commercial buildings — reverb makes the problem significantly worse.
The CM20 ceiling microphone moves pickup overhead with beamforming that points at voices and away from projector fans and air handling units. Coverage becomes a grid on the room plan — every seat inside a zone, no gaps, nothing on the table. The CS10 ceiling speaker completes the loop from the same plane: the far end's voice arrives at consistent volume across the room instead of loud at the front and inaudible at the back.
CM20 ceiling microphone
Beamforming pickup from above. Each unit covers a defined zone — the grid is designed on the room plan before ordering. Voice-pointing suppresses HVAC noise and projector fans. Nothing on the table.
CS10 ceiling speaker
Pairs with CM20 to complete the ceiling plane. The far end's voice arrives evenly across every seat — the back row hears the remote participant as clearly as the front row does. Even distribution, no hot spots.
MeetingBoard Pro extension
Up to four CM20 and four CS10 units extend the MeetingBoard Pro's built-in audio in rooms where the board's 12-metre native reach needs reinforcement. Ceiling audio integrates with the board natively from firmware 331.320.0.30.
AVHub integration
In MVC rooms built on the AVHub, the hub is the mixing point for ceiling audio and cameras together. The director logic that cuts cameras also coordinates the microphone zones — the active zone follows the active speaker.
The survey questions that determine the ceiling grid are not bureaucratic. Ceiling height, ceiling type (solid concrete, suspended tile, open structure) and the seating plan set the unit count and mounting positions before a single unit is ordered. A ceiling tile installation needs a different approach than a solid ceiling — and the zone count that works at three metres doesn't work at five. These are the questions that decide whether the audio is good or almost good enough. Full CM20, CS10 and accessory specifications are on the accessories page.
For AV integrators building large room systems with Yealink components — the next section covers the component supply lane.
You won the tender. The last thing you need is to debug on installation day.
Half the large rooms in the UAE are built by integrators, not end clients. If you're designing a council chamber, auditorium, or multi-room estate, this section is for you.
We supply UVC86 cameras by the unit, AVHub processors, SmartVision 80 heads for NDI/Dante environments, CM20 and CS10 ceiling audio by zone count, MCore 4 engines and MTouch Plus consoles against your room schedule — as an authorized Yealink distributor from Dubai stock. Every UVC86 order ships with the engineering documentation that prevents the most expensive call we get: the integrator on-site at 7AM whose tracking is broken and needs remote diagnosis. Camera-to-hub connection standard, PoE budget per port, and the LAN-separation rule — in writing, in the box.
Staging: we assemble, power, firmware-match and platform-enrol components in our Dubai warehouse against your room schedule. They arrive ready to mount. Your on-site time is mounting, cable-dressing and commissioning. Not troubleshooting.
NDI & Dante — the Dante backbone question
If the venue already runs a Dante audio network, the SmartVision 80 joins it rather than replacing it — native Dante support, no converters. NDI carries the camera feed to recording systems and overflow displays over IP. This is usually the difference between winning a retrofit tender and losing it. We clarify the integration scope at order, not on-site.
Third-party DSP connection
The AVHub supports third-party DSP connection for venues with complex existing audio infrastructure — the Yealink system integrates into the estate rather than demanding the estate rebuild around it.
Together Mode — on the roadmap
Microsoft's Together Mode — virtual circle of participants — is on the AVHub development roadmap per Yealink's InfoComm 2026 communications. Future-ready architecture: the room you build today receives that capability through firmware when it ships, no hardware change.
Export with documentation
For integrators building outside the UAE — per-room staging notes, mounting hardware and engineering documentation in the same consignment. On-site commissioning starts from a checklist, not a blank page. Export desk: WhatsApp the export desk.
Five large rooms in the UAE — and what each one is afraid of
The technology is the same. What changes is which failure the buyer cannot afford.
Every formal contribution on camera — for the minutes and the record
Council chambers have seating along the walls because rank and protocol place people there — and a front-mounted camera misses those seats by design. The S90 multi-camera architecture places cameras where the seating actually is. Dual-screen output separates the agenda from the participants on different displays. Teams Admin Center manages the chamber alongside every other government room from one IT portal. One estate, one management view, one audit trail.
What "designed and installed by VDS" means for your project
A large room is a project, not a purchase. Here is the sequence — so the quotation you approve is the room you get.
Survey first — always
Room depth, width, ceiling height and material, seating plan, partition details if divisible, existing AV if any. A large room quotation without a site survey is a guess with a price tag on it. We survey before we quote. The quotation reflects what we found, not what a spec sheet assumed.
Design on your floor plan
Camera positions drawn with their coverage zones. Ceiling audio grid with unit counts and positions. Cable routes and the PoE budget per AVHub port. The named system — S80, S90, S98 or MeetingBoard 86 Pro — with the reasoning stated in plain language. You read the design and understand what the room will do before anything is ordered.
One line per component
The quotation names every camera, the AVHub, each ceiling unit, the Windows engine, the console, the Teams Rooms licence, the installation and the commissioning as separate named lines. Nothing hidden inside a bundled figure. What you approve is what arrives and what you pay. No adjustments on installation day.
Staged in Dubai before site
The full system — cameras, AVHub, engine, console, ceiling units — is assembled, powered, firmware-matched and platform-enrolled in our Dubai warehouse. Installation day is mounting, cable-dressing and tuning. Not diagnosing why a camera doesn't register with the hub. The room arrives working.
Commissioned and handed over
Director logic tuned to your seating plan. Camera layouts saved to the MTouch Plus. Your IT team walked through Teams Admin Center or Zoom management. A handover document that tells any future engineer exactly what the room is and how it's wired — because rooms outlast the people who designed them.
Windows Autopilot — estate continuity
MCore 4 supports Windows Autopilot. The room joins your device management estate automatically on first boot. When the estate grows — a new office, a renovated floor — the next room provisions to the same standard without a separate engineer visit for device configuration.
What a Yealink large meeting room system costs in Dubai
Standard large room architectures run AED 45,000–95,000 fully installed. The honest answer to "where in that range" is the survey — but here is what moves the number.
- SmartVision 80 quad-lens camera — one position, four lenses
- MCore 4 engine + MTouch Plus console
- Installation, platform enrolment, commissioning
- Ceiling audio adds AED 3,000–8,000 per zone count
- 3–5 UVC86 cameras + AVHub coordinator
- MCore 4 engine + MTouch Plus console
- Ceiling audio grid — CM20 + CS10 by zone
- Teams Rooms Pro licence as named line
- Partition automation — YPS20 sensor + AP08 controller
- Dual AV systems, dual audio zones, combined mode
- NDI/Dante integration for existing AV estates
- Divisible hotel spaces from AED 80,000 — survey first
Every quotation states the camera count, AVHub, ceiling audio, engine, console, licence, installation and commissioning as separate named lines. The number you approve before the project starts is the number at completion.
Start with four numbers — we do the rest
Room depth. Room width. Ceiling height. Seat count. A photo of the room helps. A floor plan is better. "Our big boardroom doesn't work and the MD mentioned it" is enough to start the conversation. Survey scheduled within the week across all seven UAE emirates. Quotation with every component named follows it. 8am–6pm Mon–Sat.

Large room systems exported from Dubai — working before they ship
As an authorized Yealink distributor and Premium Partner for MEA, we export complete large room kits — AVHub, cameras, ceiling audio, engines and consoles — from Dubai stock, staged and platform-enrolled before dispatch so the receiving team mounts and commissions rather than diagnoses.
One boardroom standard across the regional estate
Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan and Iraq — S90 architecture deployed in Riyadh, Doha and Kuwait City, identical configuration to Dubai HQ, same Teams Admin Center view, same camera layout, same director logic. One IT team manages the whole estate.
Universities and integrators building for scale
Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana, Egypt and South Africa — universities replacing lecture-hall projector setups with S80 systems that survive the depth and deliver hybrid learning to remote students. Integrators buying UVC86 and AVHub stock for council chamber and auditorium builds, with engineering documentation in the consignment.
Complete kits ready to mount on arrival
Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and the Central Asian republics — per-room staging notes, mounting hardware and connection documentation in the same consignment. On-site commissioning starts from a checklist, not from a blank page.
Export enquiries — country, room count, system type and whether supply-only or staged kits.
WhatsApp the Export Desk →What clients say about large room installations
"Our 18-seat boardroom had a permanent problem — the far end of the table barely existed on calls, and the MD raised it after every all-hands. The S90 put dedicated cameras on the room and the far seats now come through as close-ups, not background. After the next all-hands, the subject didn't come up. That silence was the acceptance test."
"We host back-to-back bookings either side of a moving wall, and every changeover used to need an AV technician standing by. Now the partition closes and both rooms set themselves — audio zones split, each side on its own system, no console work between events. Changeover time is the time it takes the wall to move. We staff events, not equipment."
"We took delivery for a council chamber build expecting a week of commissioning. The system had been staged in Dubai — when we powered the racks, the cameras were already registering against the processor. Our on-site work was mounting, cable dressing and final tuning, not diagnosis. The staging documentation matched what was in the boxes, line for line."
