Overview

AutoTracker™ 3 series cameras are high-quality PTZ cameras that automatically track and frame a
presenter based on facial and motion detection. Ideal for lecture capture or conferences, the
IV-CAMA3-20-N-W-1B camera can automate camera operations with no personnel present and still
have the viewing experience of a manned camera. All the tracking intelligence is built into the camera –
no external system is needed. In addition, the IV-CAMA3-20-N-W-1B and IV-CAMA3-20-N-SLVR-1B
NDI®|HXenabled cameras allow for monitoring, control, power, and video output on a single Ethernet
connection.
NOTE:The IV-CAMA3-20-N-W-1B, IV-CAMA3-20-N-SLVR-1B, IV-CAMA3-20-W-1B, and IV-CAMA3-
20-SLVR-1B are functionally similar. For simplicity within this manual, the term "AutoTracker" is
used except where otherwise noted.

20-SLVR-1B AutoTracker cameras include integrated circuits produced by HiSilicon (part numbers
HI3516ARBCV100 and HI3516ARFCV200), a subsidiary of Huawei® Technologies Company.
Intelligent Tracking Technology
Intelligent tracking1automatically detects the presenter and keeps them in the optimal part of the
frame. It is easily set up to prevent tracking other subjects or displays. The AutoTracker is two cameras
in one: a wide-angle camera that continually monitors the room for motion and a PTZ camera that
follows the presenter. This dual camera approach allows the camera to adjust more quickly and never
lose the presenter.
Conferencing Compatibility
Optimize video conferencing, recording, or streaming by using the AutoTracker 3 series cameras with
Microsoft Teams®, Zoom Rooms™, Cisco WebEx®, MediaSite®, or Panopto® software. The AutoTracker
camera includes 3G-SDI video output for use with popular video conferencing codecs and capture
appliances. The IV-CAMA3-20-N-W-1B and IV-CAMA3-20-N-SLVR-1B also support NDI|HX video
output.

High Quality Video
A high quality Sony Exmor® CMOS sensor enables the camera to output up to 1080p60 resolution video
via the 3G-SDI port. The AutoTracker works well in low light and in front of bright screens.
Manual Control Options
Use VISCA over IP to control the camera with a Crestron® control system. 1B Cam Manager Software is
included for easy configuration from a computer on the network.
Networked Power, Stream, and Control
Connect a single Ethernet cable to power (PoE+), monitor, set up, and control the AutoTracker camera.
Quiet, Fast Switching Between Presets
Up to 256 pan, tilt, and zoom combination presets can be configured. The camera will move to the
selected preset point. A quiet, fast motor (120°/s pan speed) sets camera angles quickly.
Multicamera Capability with Automate Systems
Add the AutoTracker camera to an Automate multicamera system. Automate can be set to autoswitch
between multiple 1 Beyond cameras to focus on the active speaking participant. Incorporate popular
microphones and DSPs to switch between the presenter and audience.
Mounting Options
Standard mounting holes make it easy to mount the camera to a wall mount (included) or a J-Mount
ceiling bracket (sold separately).
NDI|HX for High Quality Network Video
NDI|HX supports efficient and flexible IP configuration with other networked NDI-enabled devices.
NDI|HX allows for easy installation and scalability with a single network pull (only supported on the IV-
CAMA3-20-N-W-1B and IV-CAMA3-20-N-SLVR-1B).
NOTE:NDI|HX is only supported on the IV-CAMA3-20-N-W-1B and IV-CAMA3-20-N-SLVR-1B
