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.
NOTE:The IV-CAMFR-12-N-SLVR-1B and IV-CAMFR-12-SLVR-1B are functionally similar. For
simplicity within this documentation, 1 Beyond AutoFramer camera is used except where otherwise
noted.
The 1Beyond AutoFramer camera automatically frames all of the participants in the room and is ideal
for small to medium sized conference rooms.

Installation
Use the following procedures to install the 1 Beyond AutoFramer camera.
NOTES: Observe the following points.
lCheck the source power before powering on the camera. The AutoFramer can be powered via
a 30W PoE+ switch or with 12VDC. Under or overpowering the camera will cause damage
and poor performance that may not be immediately visible. If using PoE+ switch, be sure the
port is properly configured for 30W. If using DC power and connecting to a network switch,
be sure the port is not set for PoE.
lDo not power the camera with PoE+ and a power supply at the same time. Doing so may
cause it to malfunction.
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
Mount the camera to a tabletop or wall. The ideal framing range for the camera is 5ft (2m) to 25ft
(8m) away from the people to be framed and 4ft (1m) to 6 ft (1.8m) above the ground. Ensure the
camera is mounted upright, leveled, and centered on the framing area. To ensure reliable framing, make
sure the wide-angle camera has an unobstructed line of sight to participant faces.
Mount to a Table
Place the camera on a flat and level surface. If the camera needs to be placed on an inclined surface,
verify that the incline is no greater than 15° to ensure proper pan and tilt accuracy and to prevent the
camera from falling.
Mount to a Wall
Use the 1Beyond Wall Mount Bracket to mount the camera below or next to a display used for video
conferencing.
To mount the camera to a wall:

1. Following the diameter and position of the four installation holes on the bracket, drill four holes on
the wall.
2. Use the included anchors, washers, and mounting screws to attach the bracket to the wall.
3. Use the included tripod-style screw to attach the camera on the wall mount.
4. Use the included Allen key to adjust the tilt function of the wall bracket.
CAUTION: Do not invert the camera.

Wiring
Network Connection
For the initial setup, a network connection with a minimum CAT5 Ethernet cable will be required. The
camera can be connected to a router, a network switch, or directly to a host computer for configuration.
If powering the camera using PoE+ from a network switch, no further cabling is required for setup.
However, it is recommended to use the 3G-SDI or USB 3.0 output for connecting to a conferencing or
recording system to achieve the best possible video quality. For more information on compatible SDI to
HDMIto USBconverters, refer to Online Help 1001364.
Video Output
The SDI output provides a digital, uncompressed video feed at up to 1080p60. Using a 3G-SDI rated
coax cable, connect the camera to a compatible capture device or reference monitor. SDI can also be
converted to other display formats.
USB 3.0
If desired, connect the camera to a computer using the included USB 3.0 cable. It will be detected by
your operating system and become selectable in all applications supporting USB cameras.
NOTE: This camera will not work properly when connected to a USB 2.0 port on your computer.

Zoom Rooms Installation
The 1 Beyond AutoFramer camera is compatible with Zoom Rooms® software. To utilize Zoom Rooms
capabilities, the following items are required:
l1 Beyond AutoFramer camera (IV-CAMFR-12-N-SLVR-1B or IV-CAMFR-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 AutoFramer camera firmware version 2.0.47. For more information on updating the
firmware of the camera, refer to Upgrade Tab on page 31
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 45.
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. 9325E IV-CAMFR-12-N-SLVR-1B and IV-CAMFR-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 to cover long wiring distances. The 3G-SDI cable provides
the best video output over long wiring distances.
