Create A Culture Of Better Collaboration

Built on Crestron Automate VX and 1 Beyond intelligent camera technology, these systems make the camera experience automatic so:
- Remote participants always know who’s speaking
- Presenters can move naturally without walking out of frame
- Questions and side discussions get captured, not missed
- Remote attendees stay engaged instead of becoming spectators
- The room adapts to your people — not the other way around

A fixed, wide-angle camera treats every meeting the same way — regardless of who’s talking, where they’re standing, or who’s trying to follow along remotely. Intelligent video fixes that.
