Crestron has unveiled five new products designed to help organisations deploy meeting room technology faster, deliver consistent user experiences and support the growing role of AI at the edge.
The products are framed around Crestron’s ‘Deploy–Core–Peripheral’ strategy, which focuses on getting technology into rooms quickly and consistently, embedding intelligence at the core, and simplifying the peripherals that users interact with every day.
For the deployment layer, Crestron introduced AutoMeasure, an AI-powered room measurement and calibration tool for the deployment of Automate VX multi-camera systems.
AutoMeasure uses computer vision to reduce the time required to configure multi-camera spaces by automatically detect marker cubes placed in a room. This allows the system to understand the geometry of the space, including the position of cameras and microphones, without the need for manual measurements.
Traditionally, configuring multi-camera environments required precise, time-consuming manual measurements to ensure accurate speaker tracking and framing. AutoMeasure eliminates this step, reducing room measurement from hours to minutes, while enabling cameras to be installed first rather than last.
“By combining computer vision AI and automation, we are giving integrators a smarter, faster and more accurate way to install Automate VX systems,” said Joel Mulpeter, senior director of product marketing at Crestron. “The result is impressive outcomes for everyone in the meeting.”

At the core of Crestron’s new portfolio is Collab Compute, a compute platform designed to address the challenges of hybrid meetings, in particular inconsistent experiences across rooms, limited peripheral support and insufficient power for edge AI. Collab Compute provides a single, consistent platform that scales from huddle spaces to large meeting rooms.
The idea of “one-touch join” remains a central focus, ensuring meetings start on time regardless of room size, while flexible connectivity options support HDMI, USB-C and DM Essentials integration through Crestron’s latest touch panels. The goal, according to Crestron, is simple: users should be able to walk into any room and have the same intuitive experience every time

On the user interface side, Crestron launched the 80 Series Touch Screens, designed to consolidate three critical touchpoints in modern meeting rooms: scheduling, unified communications and room control.
The hardware platform is built on the Microsoft Device Ecosystem Platform and provides visibility into room availability, easy meeting launch and intuitive control of room technology, whether placed outside a room, on a tabletop, or front and centre in the space. Crestron also highlighted the ability to brand the interface, allowing organisations to align the experience with their own identity.
“If technology gets in the way, we’ve failed as a company,” said Mulpeter, noting that even small friction points can add up when multiplied across thousands of meetings.

Crestron also addressed a perceived gap in the market with the launch of the 1 Beyond i12D intelligent camera, an all-in-one video solution designed to deliver professional-grade intelligent video without the complexity associated with multi-camera systems.
The device combines three cameras (two 4K PTZ lenses with 12x optical zoom and a 4K wide-angle lens) in a single unit, with built-in audio awareness and visual AI that enables features such as group framing, speaker tracking and intelligent composition. These capabilities are processed entirely within the device, eliminating the need for external programming. It also has built-in microphone arrays for speaker location detection.
Designed as an out-of-the-box solution, the i12D is aimed at everyday meeting rooms where organisations want intelligent video without increasing deployment or management overhead.

Finally, Crestron’s DM NAX Intelligent Audio, is a network-based audio ecosystem platform designed to deliver consistent, AI-ready audio performance across different room types.
Crestron positioned the solution as a response to common challenges in modern workplaces, including inconsistent audio quality, complex system design, installation bottlenecks and increasing AI requirements.
The platform is built around an audio processor and supports power over ethernet (PoE) microphone pods, speakers, loudspeakers and third-party microphones. Audio over internet protocol simplifies deployment, allowing systems to be installed in minutes rather than days and scaled from small huddle rooms to high-impact boardrooms.
Advanced digital signal processing is designed to support Microsoft Copilot and other AI-driven meeting agents by delivering clear, intelligible audio for transcription, summarisation and analysis.

“One thing that is clear is that AI isn’t about software alone – it requires the merging of spaces,” said Brad Hintze, executive vice president of global customer success and marketing at Crestron. “If you don’t have the right physical software, it will hold back some of these AI deployments. The beauty of what we offer is that we’ve been focused on a good AV experience, which feeds the need for AI.”
While each product addresses a specific challenge, Crestron emphasised that the real value lies in how the portfolio works together.
“Together, they deliver what modern workplaces need: spaces that just work, technology that disappears, and a culture that thrives,” said Mulpeter.
