Optical Zoom: The Superior Choice

The Automate VX speaker tracking solution utilizes multiple cameras (up to 12) throughout a meeting space to ensure that remote viewers always get the right view as the conversation moves from person to person. It provides clear, crisp shots of every person in the room via the 1 Beyond cameras’ optical zoom technology. Instead of digital zooming, which enlarges and crops a portion of an image, reducing pixel density and image clarity, optical zooming occurs in the camera lens itself, bringing the viewer sharp images that capture every gesture and expression — even at a distance of 60 feet.

Broadcast Quality — Automated

Since the solution is creating a broadcast-quality video connection that’s completely automated, in-person attendees never have to concern themselves with looking toward the camera. The “cuts” between speakers mimic those you’d find in any film or TV program — they’re quick and clean, and eliminate constant camera movements such as panning, tilting, and zooming. The system includes settings such as Conversation Mode, which tracks both a current and previous speaker as two individuals conduct a dialog — allowing remote attendees to see non-verbal cues from each.

The result: A natural experience for every attendee, both remote and in-person.

Stellar Audio

Since the Automate VX speaker tracking solution began as a system that relied on microphone location to key on collaborators, its audio portion has been developed to provide the best possible experience. We've also built close relationships with the leading microphone and digital signal processing manufacturers, and we’re constantly broadening the number of products supported by the Automate VX system. The solution provides outstanding audio without aural clutter, helping to dampen extraneous noises such as coughs or papers rustling — and the system has “learned” not to recognize those noises as speech.

The Room Designer

The system’s extremely flexible and adaptable to any room layout. Our web-based utility, the Intelligent Video Room Designer, allows you to configure rooms ahead of time — even before purchasing any hardware. You're able to put the cameras and the microphones in a virtual room with a simple drag-and-drop function, determine what your various shots are going to look like, and adjust as necessary. Once you have the room configured to your liking, you're then able to take that data and provide it to the key stakeholders and decision-makers for that room prior to actually purchasing the system. Couple that with Crestron’s in-person and online support options, and a successful deployment is assured.

Additionally, the Automate VX solution is certified for Microsoft Teams® software and supports Zoom Rooms® software — or any other conferencing platform. It’s all part of Crestron’s commitment to helping you create best-in-class solutions for any room in your organization.
