Why the Yealink MVC S98 Is the Best Pro-AV Room Video Conferencing System for 2025
The Yealink MVC S98 delivers a Pro-AV-grade meeting experience by combining multi-lens SmartVision cameras, powerful on-device AI compute, and purpose-built Microsoft Teams Rooms integration — making it the most future-proof, deployable and scalable choice for large AV rooms in 2025.
1. The Pro-AV challenge in 2025 — what enterprises need
Enterprises rolling out video conferencing in Pro-AV rooms (auditoriums, divisible rooms, lecture halls, large boardrooms) face three common problems: inconsistent video coverage, limited AI/compute for advanced features, and brittle integration with AV infrastructure. The right system must be camera-centric, compute-rich, and AV-friendly — not just a video bar dressed up for a bigger room.
2. What makes MVC S98 different — five core advantages
2.1 Purpose-built multi-camera optics: SmartVision system
The MVC S98 leverages Yealink’s SmartVision multi-lens camera design to provide full scene coverage, robust automatic framing and participant detection across large rooms — removing blind spots and awkward framing common in single-camera setups. This multi-camera approach is the foundation for natural, studio-like meeting capture in Pro-AV spaces.
2.2 Future-proof AI compute: on-device MCore platform
Unlike many bundled kits that skimp on processing, the MVC S98 ships with a purpose-built MCore mini-PC platform designed to run advanced AI features, multi-camera stitching, and Teams Rooms workloads without dropping frames or lagging during complex scenes. This on-device compute is crucial for on-prem AI tasks and for reducing cloud dependency.
2.3 Pro-AV integration & modularity
MVC S98 is architected as a Pro-AV bundle (multiple cameras, AVHub, BYOD extender and mic arrays) enabling integrators to fit the system into existing AV matrices, switchers and DSPs. The modular design simplifies deployment in divisible rooms and custom AV racks.
2.4 Native Microsoft Teams Rooms experience
The MVC S98 comes preloaded for Microsoft Teams Rooms and is part of Yealink’s platform optimized for Teams on Windows — so enterprises get certified workflows (meeting join, calendar, presentation handling) together with hardware that’s tested end-to-end. That lowers deployment risk and shortens time-to-value for large IT rollouts.
2.5 Enterprise-grade manageability & security
Yealink’s enterprise support, bundled management tools and firmware features give IT teams device manageability, security hardening and lifecycle control that consumer-grade video bars cannot match — a major plus for regulated industries and large distributed deployments.
3. Technical snapshot (quick spec table)
| Area | Key capability |
|---|---|
| Cameras | SmartVision multi-lens / multi-camera setup for wide coverage and automatic framing. |
| Mini-PC | MCore platform — Ultra-class processor variants for high AI throughput and Teams Rooms workloads. |
| Software | Preloaded Microsoft Teams Rooms (Windows) & Yealink management suite. |
| AV Integration | AVHub, BYOD extender, HDMI outputs and CEC/EDID support for professional AV routing. |
| Deployment | Designed for Pro-AV / extra-large rooms; supports multi-camera placement and mic arrays. |
4. Real business impact — why IT and procurement should care
Better meeting outcomes: Wider, more natural coverage and AI framing mean remote attendees feel present — fewer interruptions and more productive meetings.
Lower integration cost: Modular AV components and standard AV outputs reduce custom engineering and cable runs.
Longer lifespan: On-device compute and modular cameras allow incremental upgrades instead of replacing the whole system.
Reduced vendor risk: A certified Teams Rooms bundle from an established vendor simplifies procurement and support.
5. Deployment patterns & best practices
Extra-large / auditorium — 3x cameras + AVHub + MCore for multi-zone capture and HDMI outputs to local displays.
Divisible rooms — place a camera per zone and route via switcher; use BYOD extender for guest presentations.
Boardrooms with multiple displays — leverage MCore’s multi-HDMI outputs and CEC/EDID for consistent display control.
6. Objections & answers (what procurement might ask)
“Why not just multiple video bars?” — Video bars lack modular optics, AV outputs, and enterprise compute for multi-camera AI. For Pro-AV rooms, a multi-camera system is both more reliable and more flexible.
“Is it future-proof?” — The MCore platform and modular cameras allow incremental upgrades and support for evolving Teams/Windows features, minimizing full-system replacements.

8. Closing summary
For 2025 Pro-AV rooms, the Yealink MVC S98 stands out because it was designed from the ground up as a multi-camera, compute-rich, AV-friendly Microsoft Teams Rooms bundle — addressing the core challenges enterprises face when scaling high-quality video across complex rooms. It’s a Pro-AV system built to integrate, scale, and last.
