IV-SAM-VX2-P

The IV-SAM-VX2-P Automate VX Pro 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 Pro comes with built-in recording and streaming capability along with outputs for video conferencing.

The IV-SAM-VX2-P Supports 7 SDI or 12 NDI|HX® sources, and 1 additional USB camera source.

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.
