How It Works

In real-world Automate VX system installations, device placement often deviates from the original room design due to ceiling obstructions, construction tolerances, or field adjustments made to accommodate unique site conditions. These subtle differences can significantly impact shot framing, as the Automate VX solution depends on precise spatial relationships to guide camera movements.

AutoMeasure solves this by automatically calculating the actual positions of installed cameras and microphones and updating the room design accordingly. This eliminates the need for manual measurements, streamlines setup, and reduces the risk of configuration errors.

AutoMeasure utilizes purpose-built AutoMeasure Cubes equipped with ArUco markers, which are temporarily placed on the ceiling microphones to measure the position and orientation of the cameras relative to the mics. AutoMeasure calculates X, Y, Z coordinates and angles, delivering a spatially aware approach that automatically yields accuracy and flexibility.

As part of Crestron’s ongoing efforts to find more sustainable solutions, the feature uses reusable AutoMeasure Kits. These tools enable scalable deployment while minimizing waste and maximizing resource efficiency across multiple installations.

As hybrid work and intelligent video become central to modern collaboration, organizations need smarter tools to simplify deployment and ensure consistent performance — especially at scale. AutoMeasure addresses this need by introducing automation and AI to AV configuration, allowing integrators to deliver high-quality experiences with greater accuracy and reduced manual effort.

“We’ve been focused on making spaces smarter,” says Shannon. “That begins with a  smarter setup process.”

“Spatial awareness is at the foundation of the intelligent video capabilities of the Aurtomate VX solution — and AutoMeasure enhances that with AI-powered precision and automation.”
