Preinstallation Support
After purchase, the Crestron support team will review your proposed installation plan and recommend the optimal placement of the Automate VX system, Crestron 1 Beyond cameras, and other third-party equipment (such as microphones).
A dedicated team member will answer questions regarding system configuration and control system programming and help identify the resources required onsite for deployment.
Remote Deployment and Validation
Following installation, the Remote Professional Services team may need to connect remotely with your onsite team to help deploy the Automate VX solution. An AV technician is required onsite during this stage, as local configuration changes to auxiliary equipment such as microphones, Digital Signal Processors (DSPs), and control processors may be required.
Once the system is configured, the Remote Professional Services team may perform a complete validation of the camera tracking system remotely. Validation of the Crestron Automate VX system involves simulating a video conference call with your onsite AV technician to validate camera tracking, microphone sensitivity, lip-sync, API control from your control panel, and all other related functionality.
