Improving Video Conferencing with the Help of Crestron FLEX and 1 Beyond

In today's hybrid workplace, video conferencing has become the lifeline of collaboration. It is crucial to provide an inclusive and engaging experience for all participants, regardless of their location. That's where the revolutionary combination of Crestron FLEX Video Conferencing and 1 Beyond Intelligent Video technology comes into play, ensuring that everyone has an equal seat at the table, even when they're not physically present.

Create an equitable meeting experience for everyone. Everywhere.

Imagine a video conferencing solution that connects people and helps you read the room. Crestron Flex Video Conferencing, coupled with 1 Beyond Intelligent Video technology, achieves just that. With intelligent face framing, each participant in the room is recognized individually, allowing remote attendees to see everyone clearly and distinctly, fostering a richer and more genuine understanding of the discussions. This feature enables participants to observe reactions, gestures, and expressions, enhancing the overall meeting experience.

But it doesn't stop there. The Crestron FLEX and 1 Beyond system goes beyond capturing visual cues. It incorporates Speaker Tracking, ensuring the camera intuitively focuses on and frames the current speaker. The camera smoothly tracks their movements as individuals move or gesture, enabling remote listeners to stay engaged and connected. By providing a close-up view of the presenter, Presenter Tracking allows them to remain focused on their audience, knowing that remote participants can see them.

Group Framing takes the spotlight with the AutoFramer automatically adjusting the camera to pan, tilt, and zoom so that everyone in the room is perfectly framed. This dynamic feature ensures that no matter how many participants enter or leave the room, the camera adjusts accordingly, focusing on people at all times. This way, the participants are always at the center of attention, creating a sense of inclusivity and involvement for all.

The Automate VX camera switching solution, IV-SAM-VXS-1B, is a voice-activated tool that delivers a comprehensive multi-camera studio experience for meetings, town halls, and classrooms. The camera switching and movement are automated, based on the location of the current speaker. Additionally, Automate VX has built-in recording and streaming capabilities, and outputs that allow for video conferencing.
