1 Beyond Cameras
1 Beyond Cameras
Intelligent video for enterprise rooms that need more than a single lens.
Crestron 1 Beyond Cameras bring high-performance optics and intelligent framing to modern meeting spaces, training rooms, and active collaboration environments. From AI-driven group framing and presenter tracking to multi-camera intelligent switching, these cameras help teams capture what matters without adding complexity for the people in the room.
Why 1 Beyond Cameras
In larger rooms, standard webcam-style video does not hold up. The reality is simple: if remote participants cannot clearly see who is speaking, who is reacting, and what is happening at the front of the room, the meeting experience breaks down.
Crestron 1 Beyond Cameras are built for rooms where video must stay sharp, responsive, and reliable, including:
- Medium to large conference rooms
- Training and learning spaces
- Boardrooms and divisible rooms
- Town hall and presentation environments

12x and 20x zoom options and premium sensors help keep faces and content clear, even at distance.
Advanced image processing
Wide dynamic range and image correction help deliver consistent performance in real-world lighting conditions.
Flexible connectivity for real deployments
Support for common outputs like USB and HDMI, plus NDI and SDI for certain applications.
Privacy-forward design

Streamlined deployment and management
Crestron Camera Manager software helps simplify setup and ongoing configuration.

Intelligent Video Experiences

Group framing
The camera automatically adjusts the view as participants enter or leave, helping keep everyone visible in a clean, balanced frame.
Presenter tracking
Visual AI tracking follows a presenter naturally as they move, keeping the video experience clear and engaging for remote attendees.
Speaker tracking and composition modes
With models like i12D, teams can create a more dynamic video experience with close-ups and intelligent layouts that better reflect how conversations happen in real meetings.

Multi-Camera Made Practical

Intelligent switching with 1 Beyond Cameras
For rooms that require more coverage than a single viewpoint, Crestron supports intelligent switching between up to five cameras. This enables better room visibility without requiring manual camera control during meetings.
This approach is ideal when you want strong coverage of:
- Speakers from anywhere in the room
- Whiteboards and collaboration zones
- Participant reactions and discussion flow
Intelligent switching with Automate VX
For more advanced multi-camera speaker tracking, Automate VX leverages audio-based data to drive switching and create a more natural experience that feels professionally produced.
