AV-Tech Media Solutions Builds Multicamera Meeting Rooms With AVer Tracking and Framing Cameras
By pairing AVer’s CAM570 and CAM520 Pro3 with the MT300N Matrix Tracking Box, AV-Tech Media delivers coordinated multicamera rooms on schedule and at a competitive cost
Located in Roswell, Georgia, AV-Tech Media Solutions is an audiovisual integrator that has spent more than 20 years planning, designing and deploying communication systems for enterprise clients, including Fortune 500 companies and corporate IT teams. The firm’s services include AV consulting, workspace solutions, managed services support and event production through its AV Tech Productions division. As hybrid meetings became standard practice, AV-Tech’s clients increasingly needed meeting rooms that could show remote participants both the active speaker and the full room.
For a recent project, AV-Tech designed a multicamera meeting room system built around two complementary roles: one camera dedicated to tracking the active speaker and a second camera providing group framing of everyone in the room. The design addresses a common limitation of single-camera rooms, where a wide shot captures all participants but leaves remote attendees unable to tell who is speaking. A two-camera approach introduces its own requirements. The system must determine which camera is live, switch between views without a dedicated operator and remain dependable in rooms where meeting schedules leave little margin for downtime.
“Our clients wanted remote participants to feel like they were sitting at the table,”
“That meant using one camera to follow whoever is speaking and a second camera to keep the whole group in frame. The design itself wasn’t the hard part. What matters most to us as an integrator is having a manufacturer with people who have real technical knowledge and will respond quickly when we need them.”
AV-Tech selected AVer Information based on two camera models that fit the system design, the CAM570 Dual Lens 4K Audio Tracking Camera and the CAM520 Pro3 Conference Camera. The CAM570 and CAM520 Pro3 gave AV-Tech the speaker tracking and group framing capabilities the room required at a price point that worked for its clients.
“The CAM570 and CAM520 Pro3 are what brought us to AVer,”
“Between the two of them, we had the tracking and framing we needed for this kind of room, and the pricing let us deliver a true multicamera system without pushing the budget.”
The CAM570 combines a 95-degree AI wide-angle lens with a 4K PTZ lens offering 12X optical zoom and 36X total zoom. A built-in, three-sensor beamforming microphone array supports native audio tracking and detects voices up to 10 meters away. The CAM570’s AI framing modes, including Smart Frame and Smart Gallery, automatically adjust the view to capture meeting participants, while the dual-lens design allows a speaker close-up and a wide room view to display at the same time. The CAM570 is certified for Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and RingCentral and connects via USB, HDMI and RS-232.
The CAM520 Pro3 delivers 1080p video at 60 fps from an 8MP low-light sensor, with 36X total zoom and an 80.5-degree field of view. The CAM520 Pro3 supports person tracking and automatic framing, provides simultaneous HDMI, USB and IP outputs and accepts Power over Ethernet (PoE), reducing the cabling required at each camera position. Up to 128 presets allow integrators to define fixed views for specific seating areas or presentation positions.
To coordinate the cameras, AV-Tech leveraged AVer’s MT300N Matrix Tracking Box. The MT300N integrates with microphone systems from manufacturers including Shure, Sennheiser, Yamaha, Nureva, ClearOne and Audio-Technica, using speaker detection from the microphones to switch automatically between AVer camera presets as the conversation moves around the room. The MT300 includes configured presets, eliminating additional programming, is Certified for Microsoft Teams Rooms, and supports Zoom Rooms and Google Meet.
Implementation followed the project schedule, which Bappert said is typical of AV-Tech’s experience with AVer. The predictable delivery allows the integrator to schedule installation crews, commission systems and hand rooms over to clients as planned.
“AVer always meets our key milestones,”
“When we give a client an install date, we need to know the equipment is going to be there. With AVer, we don’t have to build extra time into the schedule or worry about a room sitting unfinished.”
Bappert pointed to cost savings and customer service as the primary benefits of working with AVer. For other integrators and organizations evaluating cameras for similar multicamera applications, Bappert kept his recommendation simple.
“It’s a great product at a great cost,”
“You get the performance your clients expect, and you get a company that stands behind it when something comes up.”
Today, AV-Tech Media Solutions uses AVer equipment across its client projects, including the CAM570, CAM520 Pro3 and MT300N. Pairing a tracking camera with a group framing camera under the MT300N’s coordination gives AV-Tech a repeatable approach for meeting rooms that must show remote participants both the speaker and the room. With dependable delivery, competitive pricing and responsive replacement support, AVer gives the integrator a manufacturer suited to business-critical spaces.
