Create A Culture Of Better Collaboration

Ford AV designs intelligent meeting environments that help people communicate naturally — automatically following speakers, framing participants and keeping remote attendees connected to the conversation. 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

Communication Deserves Better Than A Static Camera

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.

Static Camera

Intelligent Video

Remote participants can’t tell who’s speaking.

Speaker tracking keeps attention on whoever is talking.

Presenters walk out of frame as they move.

Presenter tracking follows them naturally through the room.

Questions and side discussions get missed.

Multi-camera switching captures the room as the conversation moves.

Remote attendees disengage and become spectators.

AI-driven selection keeps remote attendees engaged and included.
