Configuring Microphone Devices - Crestron 1 Beyond Automate VX Series Product Manual

Configuring Microphone Devices

Microphone Devices are the microphones in a room that the Automate VX uses to receive audio from
active-speaking participants. Microphone Devices are indicated in room designer as square-shaped
nodes. For more information about adding Microphone Devices to a room layout, refer to
Microphone Device on page 38
There are three different types of microphones, and each microphone type is configured differently
within Room Designer.
Intelligent microphones: These are microphones installed in the ceiling. The Shure MXA310 Table
l
Top microphone is also an intelligent microphone. Microphone Devices should be placed in the
exact location where they exist physically in the room layout. Intelligent microphones have a
radius that can collect audio data, and in conjunction with AutoSwitching, can broadcast audio
from any position within the radius.
DSPs and discussion systems: Microphones positioned at each active speaking participant
l
location. These are often push-to-talk microphone systems, gooseneck microphones, or any
microphone system that is using a DSP. For the Microphone Device in the room layout, the
location of the Microphone Device is not important and can be placed anywhere. The microphones
used to track audio need to have Virtual Mics in positions where microphones are located. For
more information on configuring Virtual Mics, refer to
Zones on page 70
Once the Microphone Devices are situated in their appropriate locations within the room layout, click on
a Microphone Device to open the Microphone Device Settings. This panel will appear on the right side of
the screen.
