Because the peripheral devices you need for your VidyoRoom or VidyoDesktop may be different from what someone else may need, Vidyo gives you the flexibility to choose what works best for your configuration. This page lists Vidyo’s recommended and supported peripheral devices to help you select the ones that fit your needs.
Please note that the lists on this page aren’t intended to be a comprehensive review of all available devices, but rather a sampling of devices that Vidyo has tested. Each device listed is classified as either Recommended or Supported:
- Recommended: The device has been tested and has provided a better than acceptable experience. For example, a speakerphone with superior echo cancellation is considered better than acceptable.
- Supported: The device has been tested and has provided an acceptable experience. For example, a webcam with 15 fps and above is considered acceptable.
Cameras
The webcams listed here are recommended or supported for use with VidyoPortal™ version 2.2 or later unless otherwise noted.

Video Scalers
The VidyoRoom supports a wide variety of video devices, such as laptops, DVD players, LCD projectors, interactive white boards, DVRs and more, through the use of a video scaler.
Any video scaler you choose requires output support for HDMI at 720P, as this will be your connection to the HDMI port on the back of the VidyoRoom. In addition to the video inputs, many video scalers also have some audio input connections. It’s important to note that the audio and video paths for the VidyoRoom must be maintained separately.
