MINNETONKA, Minn. — May 19, 2026 — Vaddio, a brand of Legrand | AV, today announced the launch of SpeakerVIEW, an intelligent camera automation solution that uses directional audio from ceiling microphone arrays to automatically identify the active speaker and direct Vaddio PTZ cameras to frame them in real time. Designed for corporate conference rooms and higher education spaces, SpeakerVIEW is available as a dedicated hardware controller or as a free firmware update for existing Vaddio EasyIP Mixer and EasyIP Dock customers.
Meetings and lectures lose engagement the moment a camera misses the speaker. SpeakerVIEW takes a simple, reliable approach: ceiling microphone arrays capture not just what is being said but where the sound is coming from. SpeakerVIEW uses that directional audio data to move the right camera into position automatically, no dedicated operator required.
“SpeakerVIEW represents the first step in Vaddio’s broader automation strategy, and it answers a question we’ve been hearing from customers for years: ‘How do I make my cameras automatically follow the conversation?’” says Arnoud Helmantel, Senior Manager, Solutions Product Management, Legrand | AV. “Whether customers are buying a new controller or simply updating the firmware on equipment they already own, SpeakerVIEW delivers a fundamentally better meeting and learning experience without added hardware or complexity.”
Audio-Driven Intelligence
Because SpeakerVIEW uses audio location when multiple cameras are in the room, SpeakerVIEW switches seamlessly between them as the conversation moves. Administrators can set speaker priority to keep a designated presenter in focus, automatically widen the shot when a remote attendee speaks, and define behavior for silence, simultaneous talkers, or brief interruptions, ensuring the system adapts to any room or workflow.
Flexible Ways to Deploy
Users can choose the dedicated SpeakerVIEW Controller for larger rooms with up to eight microphone arrays to control the Vaddio AV Bridge 2×1, EasyIP Decoder, or IntelliSHOT ePTZ. Customers already invested in the Vaddio EasyIP ecosystem can enable SpeakerVIEW as a free firmware update for the EasyIP Mixer (up to two microphone arrays) and EasyIP Dock (up to four microphone arrays), delivering intelligent camera automation at zero hardware cost.
The SpeakerVIEW Controller is a compact, rack-friendly, PoE-powered network device that is TAA compliant, extending its reach to federal government and government-adjacent opportunities. At launch, SpeakerVIEW is alsocompatible with Shure MXA920, MXA910, and Sennheiser TeamConnect Ceiling Medium (TCCM) ceiling microphone arrays.
Works with Any Conferencing Platform
Because Vaddio switchers provide standard USB video and audio output to a room PC, SpeakerVIEW-enabled rooms work with the meeting software already in use, including all major video conferencing platforms and hardware room systems.
Built for the Spaces That Need It Most
SpeakerVIEW is purpose-built for university lecture halls and classrooms, where a professor’s movement and student interactions must be captured clearly for remote learners; and for corporate conference rooms of all sizes, where meetings should be engaging and equitable for remote participants without requiring a dedicated AV operator.
Key Solution Highlights:
-
Audio-driven camera tracking using directional data from ceiling microphone arrays; no AI vision processing required
