Zoom Rooms Installation

The 1 Beyond AutoTracker 3 camera is compatible with Zoom Rooms® software. To utilize Zoom Rooms capabilities, the following items are required:

  • 1 Beyond AutoTracker 3 camera (IV-CAMA3-20-N-W-1B, IV-CAMA3‑N‑SLVR‑1B, IV‑CAMA3‑20‑W‑1B, or IV‑CAMA3‑20‑SLVR‑1B)

  • RS-232 cable (included with the camera)

  • 3G-SDI cable

  • HDMI® cable (CBL-8K-HD-1.5)

  • Inogeni™ 4KXUSB3 converter (includes Inogeni terminal block)

    • Firmware version 1.54 or higher. To update the firmware on the Inogeni 4KXUSB3 converter, refer to Inogeni's website.

  • Blackmagic Design® Micro Converter SDI to HDMI 3G

  • 1 Beyond AutoTracker 3 camera firmware version 5.1.82. For more information on updating the firmware of the camera, refer to Upgrade Tab

  • Zoom Rooms software firmware version 5.13 or higher. To update the firmware for Zoom Rooms software, refer to Zoom's website.

Complete the following procedure to connect the camera to a Zoom Rooms control system:

  1. Set the resolution of the camera to 1080p, and the frame rate to 30. For more information about changing the resolution and frame rate of the camera, refer to Basic 1 Tab.

  2. Connect the RS-232 mini-DIN (male) connector to the RS-232 port located on the rear side of the camera.

  3. Use wire strippers to remove the other end of the RS-232 DB9 cable. Then, strip the RS-232 cable insulation to expose the three wires inside. The colored cables correspond to the following connections:

    • TX: White sleeved wire

      NOTE: In some circumstances, the RS-232 DB9 cable will have a blue sleeved wire instead of the white sleeved wire. For the purposes of this procedure, the blue sleeved wire is identical to the white sleeved wire.

    • RX: Red sleeved wire

    • Ground: Black sleeved wire

  4. Connect the TX (white sleeve) wire to the RX terminal on the Inogeni terminal block.

  5. Connect the Ground (black sleeve) wire to the GND terminal on the Inogeni terminal block.

  6. Connect the RX (red sleeve) wire to the TX terminal on the Inogeni terminal block.

  7. Insert the Inogeni terminal block into the VISCA port on the Inogeni 4KXUSB3 converter.

  8. Connect the 3G-SDI cable from the camera into the SDI IN port on the Blackmagic Design SDI to HDMI 3G converter.

    NOTE: Do not use the HDMI cable to cover long wiring distances. The 3G-SDI cable provides the best video output over long wiring distances.

  9. Connect the HDMI cable from the Blackmagic Design Micro Converter SDI to HDMI 3G HDMI OUT port to the HDMI INPUT port on the Inogeni 4KXUSB3 converter.

  10. Connect the USB 3.0 type-B cable to the Inogeni 4KXUSB3 USB 3.0-2.0 port. Connect the USB 3.0 type-A end of the cable into the UC-Engine or other compatible Zoom Rooms system.

    NOTE: Ensure that the camera and the Blackmagic Design Micro Converter SDI to HDMI 3G are receiving power as specified by the product requirements.

  11. Select Inogeni 4KXUSB3 as the camera source in Zoom Rooms.

The 1 Beyond AutoTracker 3 camera will now have full compatibility with Zoom Rooms software.
