The IV-SAM-VX2-S Automate VX is a voice-activated camera switching solution that brings the full multicamera studio experience to meetings, town halls, and classrooms. Crestron 1 Beyond cameras automatically switch based on the location of the active speaking participant. Visual AI enhanced camera switching intelligently frames camera shots with the participants centered. Automate VX comes with built-in recording and streaming capability along with outputs for video conferencing.

Production Quality Camera Shots
See who is speaking with close-up camera shots. Clean production-style camera switching provides a more engaging experience for remote participants or viewers.

High Definition Video for Conferencing
Connect 12x and 20x optical zoom Crestron 1 Beyond Cameras via 3G-SDI or NDI®|HX for high quality video output resolutions. Provide uncompressed high definition video through your conferencing codec of choice with the included SDI to USB-A 3.0 converter.

AutoFraming and Reframing with Visual AI
Visual AI directs Crestron 1 Beyond optical zoom cameras to automatically center participants in camera shots via AutoFraming. Reframing continuously keeps the participant centered in the camera shot — even when the participant moves from their initial position.

Voice-Activated Switching
Voice-activated switching uses data from the room microphones to locate the active speaking participant and change camera shots accordingly. Multiple microphone types are supported, including intelligent array microphones, wired and wireless microphones, and discussion systems.

No Code Configuration with Visual Designer
The Room Designer tool provides the ability to design and configure meeting spaces. The browser interface is used to create and visualize designs to accommodate the room’s requirements, and to determine optimal placement of cameras and microphones. Set the desired camera switching experience graphically - no coding or camera presets required.

Adapts to Room Sizes and Uses
Cameras can be located throughout the room for best camera angles. Room configurations can be set to accommodate different furniture layouts with a single button push.

Professional Services
The 1 Beyond Automate system requires the purchase of 1 Beyond Camera Systems Remote Professional Services. Remote Professional Services provides dedicated technical support for the remote deployment of Automate VX Voice Activated Multi Camera Switching Solutions.

Visit IV-PROSERVICE-1B for details.

NOTE: For Crestron Intelligent Video Certified Engineers (IVC-E) planning to self deploy and self validate a purchased Automate VX system, the purchase of Remote Professional Services is optional, subject to verification by Crestron. Visit IV‑PROSERVICE‑1B for details.

Custom Layouts
Combine multiple sources, superimpose titles and add custom graphics. A graphical user interface allows for custom layouts, not just picture‑in‑picture or side‑by‑side.

Native Crestron Control and REST API
Enable autoswitching, activate Scenarios, record/stream, change room configurations or layouts and more from your preferred control interface. An adaptable API is available for customizable user interfaces on third-party control systems. For more information about the API for Automate VX, refer to the Automate VX API documentation.

Conference, Stream, and Record
In addition to high quality output for hard or soft codecs, the system has a built-in encoder and recorder to enable RMTP streaming with 316 GB of storage for local program and ISO recording. Automated copy available to network and cloud storage.
