Overview
1Beyond intelligent video technology brings an essential video conferencing solution into the Crestron®
ecosystem. Enabling the best video experience for both in-room and remote attendees is vital to hybrid
work and ensuring productive and effective collaboration. Technologies such as speaker tracking, group
framing, and presenter tracking ensure that every person can be seen, no matter where they are, and
provide the best view for the remote attendees.
The IV-CAMHK-12-SLVR-1B is a participant tracking solution that uses two HD PTZ cameras to
automatically cut to a new participant. Ideal for small to medium sized rooms, deploy the
IV-CAMHK-12-SLVR-1B when a close-up view of the meeting participants is desired.

Installation
Use the following procedures to install the Hawk IV-CAMHK-12-SLVR-1B camera.
NOTES: Observe the following points.
lCarefully lift the camera out of its packaging by holding it from the base. Holding it by the
PTZ camera assemblies may cause damage to sensitive mechanical parts.
lDo not remove the rubber lens caps until the camera is mounted to avoid scratching the
lenses.
lOnly use the power supply included with this product to power it as non-specified products
may cause damage to the unit.
lDo not operate the camera beyond the specified temperature and humidity limits. Operating
range of the camera is between 32°F - 104°F (0°C -40°C). Ambient humidity should be less
than 95%RH.
lDo not remove any screws from the camera. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Contact Crestron True Blue Support if the camera is damaged or malfunctioning.
lDo not aim the camera lens at the sun or extremely bright lights. Doing so can cause damage
to the image sensor.
lDo not move the camera head manually. Doing so can cause damage to the camera and inner
gear systems. Do not carry the camera by the head; always handle the camera by the base.
lDo not directly expose the camera to rain, water, or high moisture.
lThis camera is for indoor use only.

Mounting
Install the camera using the included 2-point shelf mount to ensure optimum stability. Since both PTZs
are moving frequently, a mount with a center-only connection to the camera can cause undesirable
shaking.
For the best possible tracking performance, observe the following mounting requirements.
lCenter the camera horizontally, facing the meeting participants.
lMount the camera at a height between 4ft (1.2m) and 6ft (1.8m). If the camera is mounted
lower than 4ft (1.2m) or higher than 6ft (1.8m) facial detection, audio location accuracy, and
shot quality may be affected.
lThe camera detects faces at a distance up to 25ft (7.6m). In rooms where people are further
away from the camera, satisfactory operation cannot be guaranteed.
To mount the camera:
1. Following diameter and position of the four installation holes on the bracket, drill four holes in the
wall.
2. Use four of the included anchors and mounting screws to attach the bracket to the wall.
3. Use the two tripod-style screws to affix the camera to the bracket.
CAUTION:This camera cannot be inverted.

17 • IV-CAMHK-12-SLVR-1B Product Manual — Doc. 9311C
Positioning
The camera is able to detect faces at a distance of up to 25ft (7.6m). Ensure that the wide-angle
camera has a line of sight towards participant seating locations. Camera framing will suffer if there are
objects obstructing the line of sight.
NOTE: If participants are further than the 25 ft (7.6 m) range, satisfactory operation cannot be
guaranteed.

Product Manual — Doc. 9311C IV-CAMHK-12-SLVR-1B • 18
Wiring
Connect the camera to power using the included 12VDC power supply. If cabling needs to be extended to
reach the camera, utilize a longer IEC power cord.
Network Connection
The camera must be connected to a network for initial configuration. Once configured, the camera does
not need be connected to a network. A consistent network connection is recommended in case any
configuration adjustments are performed later.
Video Output
To connect the camera to a conferencing codec or capture device, an HDMI or SDI connection is
required. SDI is recommended for longer cable runs of over 50ft (15m). USB converters are available for
both HDMI and SDI if the camera is to be connected to a computer or codec via USB.
Reference Audio
An echo cancellation signal is required for the camera to work correctly in video conferencing
applications. Refer to Echo Cancellation on page 28.

Zoom Rooms Installation
The 1 Beyond Hawk camera is compatible with Zoom Rooms® software. To utilize Zoom Rooms
capabilities, the following items are required:
l1 Beyond Hawk camera (IV-CAMHK-12-SLVR-1B)
lRS-232 cable (included with the camera)
l3G-SDI cable
lHDMI®cable (CBL-8K-HD-1.5)
lInogeni™ 4KXUSB3 converter (includes Inogeni terminal block)
oFirmware version 1.54or higher. To update the firmware on the Inogeni 4KXUSB3 converter,
refer to Inogeni's website.
lBlackmagic Design® Micro Converter SDI to HDMI3G
l1 Beyond Hawk camera firmware version 1.0.376. For more information on updating the firmware
of the camera, refer to Upgrade Tab on page 36
lZoom Rooms software firmware version 5.13 or higher. To update the firmware for Zoom Rooms
software, refer to Zoom's website.
Complete the following procedure to connect the camera to a Zoom Rooms control system:
1. Set the resolution of the camera to 1080p, and the frame rate to 30. For more information about
changing the resolution and frame rate of the camera, refer to Basic 1 Tab on page 51.
2. Connect the RS-232 mini-DIN (male) connector to the RS-232 port located on the rear side of the
camera.

Product Manual — Doc. 9311C IV-CAMHK-12-SLVR-1B • 20
3. Use wire strippers to remove the other end of the RS-232 DB9 cable. Then, strip the RS-232 cable
insulation to expose the three wires inside. The colored cables correspond to the following
connections:
lTX: White sleeved wire
NOTE: In some circumstances, the RS-232 DB9 cable will have a blue sleeved wire
instead of the white sleeved wire. For the purposes of this procedure, the blue sleeved
wire is identical to the white sleeved wire.
lRX: Red sleeved wire
lGround: Black sleeved wire
4. Connect the TX (white sleeve) wire to the RX terminal on the Inogeni terminal block.
5. Connect the Ground (black sleeve) wire to the GND terminal on the Inogeni terminal block.
6. Connect the RX (red sleeve) wire to the TX terminal on the Inogeni terminal block.
7. Insert the Inogeni terminal block into the VISCAport on the Inogeni 4KXUSB3 converter.
8. Connect the 3G-SDI cable from the camera into the SDI IN port on the Blackmagic Design SDIto
HDMI3Gconverter.
NOTE:Do not use the HDMIcable directly from the camera. The 3G-SDI cable provides the
best video output over long wiring distances.
