About the Crestron IV-SAM-VX2

The IV-SAM-VX2-S uses data from the room microphones to locate the active speaker and cut to the right camera, while visual AI frames and reframes each shot. Its switching algorithm follows the conversation to avoid cutting too often. It supports intelligent array microphones, wired and wireless microphones and discussion systems, and controls Crestron 1 Beyond PTZ and tracking cameras over IP, including 12x and 20x models.

Cameras connect through three 3G-SDI inputs or up to five NDI|HX streams, and the system outputs SDI and NDI streams, with an HDMI 2.0b output as well. An SDI to USB-A 3.0 converter is included for connecting to an external conferencing codec running Microsoft Teams. The built-in encoder streams to any RTMP server and records MP4 (H.264) or MOV files to a 316 GB internal SSD, and titles, logos and custom layouts can be added.

Setup uses the browser-based Room Designer, which lays out cameras and microphones graphically without code, and room configurations can switch between furniture layouts with one button push. A REST API over TCP allows third party control. The steel chassis stands freely or fits 2U of a 19 in rack, with rack ears included, and draws 400 W from 100 to 240 VAC. It measures 88 mm high, 427 mm wide and 389 mm deep.

Questions about the Crestron IV-SAM-VX2

What is the Crestron IV-SAM-VX2-S?

It is Automate VX Series 2, a voice-activated multi-camera switching system. It uses room microphone data to find the active speaker and switches between Crestron 1 Beyond cameras, with visual AI framing each shot, for meetings, town halls and classrooms.

How many cameras does the IV-SAM-VX2-S support?

It supports 3 SDI or 5 NDI|HX camera sources, plus one additional USB camera source. The IV-SAM-VX2-P Automate VX Pro supports 7 SDI or 12 NDI|HX sources, so the Pro version is the one to look at for rooms that need more cameras.

Which microphones work with the IV-SAM-VX2-S?

Crestron lists several microphone types for voice-activated switching, including intelligent array microphones, wired and wireless microphones, and discussion systems. The system uses data from these room microphones to locate the active speaker and change camera shots to match.

Can it record and stream?

Yes. It has a built-in encoder and recorder. It can stream to any RTMP server and records MP4 files (H.264, user-selectable bitrate up to 10 Mbps) or MOV files to its internal 316 GB SSD. Titles, logos, backgrounds and multi-source layouts can be added.

How is it configured and mounted?

Configuration is browser-based, using the Room Designer tool to place cameras and microphones and set the switching behaviour without code, with secure login and user administration. The steel chassis is freestanding or 2U rack-mountable, with adhesive feet and rack ears included, and uses 400 W.

How much is the Crestron IV-SAM-VX2?

Crestron asks its dealers to give the price of the IV-SAM-VX2 directly rather than publish it online. Add it to your quote list and we will send you a written quote, with delivery, and installation and programming if you need them.

Can 1Install supply, install and programme the IV-SAM-VX2?

Yes. 1Install is an authorised Crestron Elite Partner with offices in Skerries, Co. Dublin and Cork. We can supply the IV-SAM-VX2 on its own, or install, set up and programme it as part of your system. Installation visits are €440 for 4 hours or €880 for a full day, plus VAT and travel.

Does the IV-SAM-VX2 come with a warranty?

Yes. Everything we supply is new, genuine Crestron with Crestron's standard warranty. If the IV-SAM-VX2 develops a fault, contact us and we will handle the claim with Crestron. If we installed it, our workmanship is guaranteed for the lifetime of the system.

Is the IV-SAM-VX2 in stock?

We order Crestron for each quote, so availability depends on Crestron's stock at the time. We check it before we quote and put the expected delivery date on your quote, so you know where you stand before you pay.

Can I buy the IV-SAM-VX2 without installation?

Yes. We supply Crestron to end users, with or without installation. Like most Crestron devices of this type, it needs setting up or programming before it works in a system, and we can quote for that too.
