With Nureva's HDL300 and Dual HDL300 audio conferencing systems, Extron control and automation solutions enable hybrid working and learning with camera tracking. The Extron Control Systems Driver was updated using Nureva's sound location device API, available through the Nureva Developer Toolkit. 

Using soundtrack data from the HDL300 and Dual HDL300 conference systems, the Extron control processor sends a pre-set recall command to smoothly steer camera views to the speaker's location. The supplied audio location data leverages Nureva's Microphone Mist technology, which fills a room with thousands of virtual microphones so that everyone is heard. 

The supplied audio location data leverages Nureva's Microphone Mist technology, which fills a room with thousands of virtual microphones so that everyone is heard. Sound direction, location and level are reported several times per second to enable automatic camera adjustments based on the location of the active speakers. This results in a more refined camera positioning and switching, improving the experience for remote participants.

The integration allows the Nureva HDL300 and Dual HDL300 audio systems to supply voice tracking data to any of the hundreds of cameras using pre-set recalls with the Extron control processor. The Nureva sound location API was created as part of a program aimed at improving and simplifying remote collaboration with companies like Extron. "By simplifying integration between products, Extron's shared customers will be able to experience improved audio and control experiences during meetings." said Casey Hall, Extron's chief marketing officer. Nancy Knowlton, Nureva’s chief executive, said: “Using the intelligence built into Microphone Mist technology, the IT-friendly wall-mounted systems are delivering a level of camera tracking sophistication that, until now, was possible only with traditional pro AV solutions.”
