AVer MT500 – NDI Matrix Auto Tracking Box

What is the AVer MT500 NDI matrix auto tracking box?

The AVer MT500 is a 4K, AI-powered matrix tracking box that centralizes and automatically switches feeds from multiple cameras, eliminating the need for a dedicated camera operator in lecture halls, divisible rooms, and high-profile meeting spaces. It's the successor to AVer's popular MT300 tracking box, adding dual independent 4K outputs and native Dante/Dante AV-H support on top of the multi-camera voice tracking that made the MT300 a standard integration piece.

How does the AVer MT500 work?

The MT500 sits between a room's cameras and its distribution destinations, using AI-driven auto-switching to detect the active speaker and cut between camera feeds without an operator at a switcher. Its FaceFocus feature selects whichever connected camera shows the active speaker's face most clearly, IntelliSwitch coordinates smooth transitions between cameras, and InstaConfig analyzes connected cameras and microphones during setup to suggest preset-to-microphone-channel mapping, cutting down manual configuration time on install day. Two independent output paths mean the room's in-room display and a remote stream or recording can run simultaneously without extra processing hardware — Content 1 routes through HDMI 1/USB 1/IP 1, while Content 2 routes independently through HDMI 2/USB 2/IP 2. On the network side, the MT500 natively supports NDI HX2, NDI HX3, RTSP, RTMP, HLS, Dante, and Dante AV-H, letting it drop into AV-over-IP workflows without extra converters, and its built-in 8-channel matrix mixer handles audio from multiple sources within the same system. Recordings can be captured directly to USB storage or a NAS, without needing a separate recording PC. Auto Mode voice tracking is built around AVer's own Pro AV camera and microphone integrations; third-party cameras connected to the system are limited to Live and Manual switching modes rather than full automated tracking.

What are the key features of the AVer MT500?

• AI multi-camera auto-switching — automatically detects the active speaker and switches feeds without an operator.
• Dual independent 4K outputs — drive in-room displays and a separate stream/recording feed at the same time.
• Native Dante, Dante AV-H, and NDI HX2/HX3 support — integrates directly into AV-over-IP workflows.
• FaceFocus and IntelliSwitch — AI tools that pick the clearest speaker angle and smooth camera transitions.
• InstaConfig setup assistant — analyzes connected cameras and mics to speed up install-day configuration.
• 8-channel matrix audio mixer — built-in mixing across multiple audio sources.
• Direct USB/NAS recording — capture without a dedicated recording PC.
• Rack or under-desk mounting — included hardware supports either installation style.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's different between the MT500 and the older MT300N?

The MT500 adds dual independent 4K outputs and native Dante/Dante AV-H support on top of the MT300N's core multi-camera voice tracking, letting it drive an in-room display and a separate stream or recording simultaneously.

Does the MT500 work with non-AVer cameras?

Third-party cameras can be connected and used in Live and Manual switching modes, but full automated Auto Mode voice tracking is built around AVer's own Pro AV camera and microphone integrations.

Can it record without a separate PC?

Yes. The MT500 can capture recordings directly to USB storage or a NAS without requiring an external recording computer.

What network video standards does it support?

The MT500 supports NDI HX2, NDI HX3, RTSP, RTMP, HLS, Dante, and Dante AV-H for AV-over-IP distribution and streaming.

Is this a good fit for a divisible room?

Yes — divisible rooms with multiple cameras across combined/split configurations are one of AVer's stated use cases for the MT500's centralized multi-camera switching.
