Effective Xilica BYOM Integration for Video Conferencing

1

In today’s corporate environment, the BYOM (Bring Your Own Meeting) concept is rapidly gaining ground. This approach allows users to connect their personal devices to a room’s professional AV infrastructure—delivering high-quality audio and video, regardless of the conferencing platform.

What Is BYOM and How Is It Different from BYOD?

BYOM lets users launch video calls from their own laptops or tablets using familiar platforms like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, and others—while taking full advantage of the room’s professional AV gear: microphones, speakers, cameras, and DSPs.

In contrast to BYOD (Bring Your Own Device), where personal devices are used to share content or audio, BYOM implies full control of the meeting from the user's laptop, while leveraging the room’s AV capabilities. Audio and video are processed via pro-grade hardware, not limited by internal laptop speakers or mics.


For AV integrators and system designers, Xilica offers a complete BYOM-ready portfolio—from audio interfaces to DSPs, amplifiers, and loudspeakers—designed to deliver scalable and flexible conference room solutions.

Xilica Gio Audio Interfaces: USB, XLR, Bluetooth


Gio USB – Enables bidirectional audio between the user’s laptop and the Dante network using a single USB cable. A fast, reliable way to connect any device to a professional audio system.

Gio XLR – Bridges legacy analog microphones and audio sources into the Dante ecosystem. Ideal for hybrid environments using existing analog infrastructure.

Gio Bluetooth – Adds wireless connectivity, offering convenience and flexibility for guests or staff who prefer mobile devices.

Xilica FR1 & QR1 DSPs: The Processing Core


The powerful FR1 and compact QR1 DSP processors serve as the audio brain of any BYOM setup. They perform critical tasks like AEC (Acoustic Echo Cancellation), noise suppression, EQ, mixing, and control of room devices over AES67 networks.
Using Xilica Designer software, integrators can easily create and deploy advanced audio configurations tailored to the room’s needs.

Clear, Even Audio with Xilica Sonia


Paired with Xilica Sonia Amp, Sonia in-ceiling loudspeakers deliver even sound distribution and crystal-clear speech intelligibility. The result is natural, immersive sound—ideal for large or acoustically challenging rooms.

Use Cases & Benefits of Xilica in BYOM Installations


Modern BYOM systems demand simplicity, flexibility, and uncompromised audio quality. Xilica’s modular approach allows integrators to deliver fast, reliable deployments—across meeting rooms, boardrooms, and hybrid workspaces.

Use Case 1: Standard BYOM via Gio USB
A user connects their laptop to Gio USB. Audio is routed via Dante to the Xilica FR1 or QR1 DSP for processing, and then sent to the Sonia speakers and amp. Microphones connect via Dante, are processed in real time, and return to the conferencing platform.

Perfect for employees bringing their own laptops. Simple, seamless, high-quality conferencing.

Use Case 2: Hybrid Room with Gio XLR
In spaces with existing analog mics or devices, Gio XLR digitizes audio into Dante, preserving quality while enhancing system flexibility.

Great for rooms transitioning from legacy audio systems.

Use Case 3: Wireless BYOM with Gio Bluetooth
For quick, cable-free meetings, Gio Bluetooth allows instant connection of mobile devices, enabling spontaneous calls or content sharing.
Ideal for guests, mobile users, and informal meetings.
