Voice-Activated Switching

Hands-free operation uses data from the room microphones to locate the active speaking participant. Camera switching is determined by the mic type used.

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.

Graphics, Titles, and 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.

RESTful API for Crestron® and Third-Party Control

Enable auto-switching, record/stream, and change room configurations or layouts using a Crestron® control module. An adaptable API is available for customizable user-interfaces on third-party control systems.

Conference, Stream, and/or Record

In addition to high quality output for hard or soft codecs, the system has a built-in encoder and recorder to enable multiple live streams and over 100 hours of recording.

Room Designer Web Interface

The Room Designer tool provides the ability to design and configure meeting spaces. The browser interface is used to help choose the best position for a variety of cameras and microphones within a room.
