NATEBox: The Hardware Behind the World’s Smartest Conference Camera System
3 min read
At SlidesLive, we’ve spent over a decade solving one key problem: how to record and live stream conferences with maximum quality, minimal crew, and no compromise. The solution? A fully autonomous, smart recording system that fits in a suitcase, weighs just 23 kg (50 lbs), and can be deployed anywhere in the world.
In Part 1, we introduced you to NATE—SlidesLive’s proprietary AI software that tracks speakers in real time, composes camera shots, and handles everything a human operator would (and more).
But software is only half the story. Today, we’re pulling back the curtain on the hardware that makes this all possible: NATEBox, the heart of SlidesLive’s Robotic Camera System.
Meet NATEBox: Custom Hardware for Smarter Recording
NATEBox replaces bulky AV gear with a sleek, all-in-one solution built for streamlined recording, real-time streaming, and effortless mobility.

Designed entirely in-house by SlidesLive, NATEBox is the result of end-to-end engineering—from 3D modeling and prototyping to careful selection, testing, and integration of every component.
It includes:
A high-performance PC running NATE software
Built-in ISO recorders for video and slides
Professional-grade video converters (SDI, HDMI, Ethernet)
VPN router and PoE switch for full remote control
All housed in a lightweight, travel-optimized case

Engineered for Events That Move Fast
Whether you're running one track or thirty, the RoboCam System simplifies everything:
✅ Scalable
Easily run multiple rooms in parallel without hiring more crew
✅ Portable
Designed to fly. The whole setup meets air travel size and weight limits
✅ Consistent
Reliable results, no matter the venue
✅ Cost-Efficient
Reduce AV production budgets by up to 40%
