Enhancing Hybrid Meetings Yet Another Time by Crestron
Crestron's Tech Upgrade: Revamping Collaborative Spaces
Crestron Electronics is shaking things up in the meeting room scene, beefing up its Intelligent Video portfolio with the impressive Automate VX multi-camera speaker tracking solution. This state-of-the-art technology is designed to create a more immersive and engaging collaboration environment, catering to the growing demand for multi-camera solutions across larger spaces. The Automate VX system seamlessly switches cameras to capture speakers from multiple angles, ensuring crucial moments are never missed and boosting virtual collaborations.
The latest update to Automate VX includes the game-changing Visual AI Direction feature. This technology makes meetings smoother and more fluid, with cameras switching effortlessly to capture active speakers based on their facial angles. With its edge AI technology, Visual AI Direction understands the direction someone is facing, swapping cameras to frame the speaker beautifully and avoid side or back shots. In-person attendees can now move naturally, glancing around the room without worrying about how virtual attendees perceive their movements.

By employing multiple cameras, Automate VX eliminates the need for a static, single-camera view found in many traditional systems. This forward-thinking approach keeps virtual participants engaged and fosters a more natural, collaborative environment. The expanding feature set of Automate VX streamlines the meeting room experience, encouraging greater collaboration with minimal worry about the technology in the room.
Crestron's EVP of Global Marketing, Brad Hintze, shares his excitement, "We're investing heavily in Visual AI auto-framing and presenter tracking to offer the most compelling meeting room experience on the market. With Visual AI Direction technology, we're creating a dynamic experience where cameras auto-adjust in real-time to keep speakers well-framed and centered, eliminating poor camera angles and disruptions like blocked presentations or misaligned speakers."
Automate VX offers user-friendly software tools that allow room configurations to be planned ahead. This latest update includes the ability to add furniture directly to the Intelligent Video Room Designer software for quick and simple room layout planning. This feature empowers stakeholders to envision different furniture arrangements before finalizing designs, improving space planning efficiency and accuracy.

A new feature called Breadcrumbs helps with quicker deployments and fine-tuning of the system to accommodate unique acoustic characteristics within a space. As chairs move or presenters move freely, this feature collects data points from the microphones to provide essential positional information for room usage. IT managers can use these details to monitor usage and adjust audio pickup locations for the best possible sound quality and seamless switching.
