Crestron Collab Classroom — Zoom Rooms with 1 Beyond i12D 3-Camera Intelligent Switching, Sennheiser Ceiling Mic and PoE Speakers

A Zoom Rooms hybrid classroom system built for instructor-facing lecture capture and student audio pickup across a full teaching space. Uses Intelligent Switching (Crestron 1 Beyond Camera Manager, no Automate VX) to cut automatically between an instructor tracking shot and companion room-coverage angles.

What's included

• 1x Crestron 1 Beyond IV-CAM-I12D-B — dual 4K PTZ primary host camera; the PTZ lens tracks the instructor while the wide reference camera holds a continuous full-room shot
• 2x Crestron 1 Beyond IV-CAM-P12-B — companion PTZ cameras covering student seating zones and the whiteboard/presentation area
• 1x Crestron CCC-120-Z Collab Compute — Intel Core Ultra 7, running Zoom Rooms software, sized for the extra AI load of a 3-camera classroom deployment
• 1x Crestron TS-1080-UC-B - Zoom Tabletop Touch Screen — native scheduling and one-touch join at the instructor station, licensed and configured for Zoom Rooms at commissioning (same hardware as the Teams variant)
• 1x Crestron CCC-BYOD-KIT — USB-C path for a guest lecturer's laptop without disturbing the native configuration
• 1x Crestron CCCA-CMK-110/120 Toolless Mounting Bracket for the compute unit
• 1x Crestron DM-NAX-AP-100 Intelligent Audio Processor — DM NAX audio-over-IP processor networking the ceiling microphones and speakers
• 2x Sennheiser TeamConnect Ceiling Medium (TCCM) microphone arrays — capturing both instructor and student audio, Crestron's own specified pairing for DM NAX ceiling audio
• 6x Crestron SAROS DM-NAX-IC4A-W active PoE+ ceiling speakers plus 9x Crestron SAROS IC4P-W passive ceiling speakers — sized for even coverage across a longer-format classroom than a standard conference room, each active unit driving its own passives with no separate amplifier required

How it works

The IV-CAM-I12D-B connects over USB to the CCC-120-Z Collab Compute, which runs Zoom Rooms natively — no separate lecture-capture PC or classroom control processor required. The two companion IV-CAM-P12-B cameras are discovered and assigned static IPs through Crestron 1 Beyond Camera Manager software, then added as Cam 2/Cam 3 inputs from the primary i12D's own web interface, where tracking zones and speaker-priority rules are configured once. After that one-time setup, Intelligent Switching runs automatically every class period, cutting between a tracked instructor shot, a wide room view, and student-zone angles with no operator at a switcher.

The two Sennheiser TeamConnect Ceiling Medium arrays and DM-NAX-AP-100 processor pick up both instructor and student speech for remote participants, and the active/passive SAROS speaker pairing delivers even program audio across the longer floor plan typical of a teaching space. The TS-1080-UC-B — Zoom touch screen and CCC-BYOD-KIT round out native and guest-lecturer BYOD conferencing.

Room fit

Sized for a standard classroom or teaching space with a front-of-room instructor position and rows of student seating — larger in footprint than our Large Conference Room kit's boardroom-style layout, with two of the five available companion camera slots still open for further expansion. A Microsoft Teams Rooms version of this same kit is also available. Browse the full Crestron collection for additional room components and accessories.
