1 Beyond announces the AutoFramer-- a PTZ camera able to detect the number and location of people in a room, before automatically framing them.
Designed for small or medium-sized rooms, the camera adjusts as the group size or location changes. It widens the frame with more people, and zooms in tightly with fewer. If someone gets up to write on the board, the camera pans, tilts and zooms accordingly to include the new position.
The AutoFramer also eliminates the empty space in the frame, improving the viewer experience. Meeting or event attendees do not need to manually adjust the camera or rely on presets, creating better video conferences, event recordings or virtual trainings.
It shoots at 1080p60 quality, with configuration done over IP via browser. Connectivity comes through HD-SDI, USB 3.0 and DVI/HDMI outputs, and it can push dual H.264 streams. The lens features a wide field of view (72.5-degree) and a 12x optical zoom.
Users can also set the Autoframer to manual mode, with control over USB (UVC 1.1), IP (VISCA) or RS232 (VISCA/Pelco-D). 1 Beyond offers a joystick for manual control.
