Adjust the White Balance
The white balance setting specifies how the camera compensates for light source variations in the room.
Procedure
1.
In the system web interface, go to
Audio/Video
>
Video Inputs
.
2.
Choose one of the following options for the
White Balance
setting (available options depend on
the camera you’re using):
▪
Auto
: Recommended for most situations. It calculates the best white balance setting based
on lighting conditions in the room.
▪
Manual
: Use this setting for rooms where the
Auto
and fixed values don’t provide
acceptable color reproduction.
When you set to
Manual
, fill the camera’s field of view with a flat white object, such as a
piece of paper. For best results, the object should be uniformly illuminated with light that is
representative of the room lighting used in the conference, rather than light from a display,
another area, or a shadow. After the object is in place, select
Calibrate
.
▪
Color Temperature Value
: The color temperature values, measured in degrees Kelvin,
correspond to the color of ambient light in a room. Use lower values for warmer lighting and
higher values for cooler lighting.
▪
Color Temperature Term
: Some cameras provide text descriptions of available color
temperatures (for example,
Fluorescent
or
Shade
).

Configure Camera Tracking Settings for Studio X50 or Studio X30
With Studio X50 and Studio X30 systems, Poly camera tracking technology can automatically frame
groups of people and follow conversations in small and medium rooms.
Tracking options and behavior depend on your connected camera. For example, if you use a standalone
EagleEye IV camera with your system, you won’t see tracking options.
Note:
If you select a framing option, it automatically enables tracking on Studio X50 and Studio X30
systems.

Go to the camera’s settings and specify a
Tracking Mode
.
▪
Frame Group
: The camera automatically locates and frames all the people in the room.
▪
Frame Speaker
: The camera includes everyone in the current conversation. For example:
◦ The camera focuses on people actively talking.
◦ When someone is talking for a prolonged period of time, the camera assumes that this
person is presenting and only focuses on them.
◦ If there’s a period in which no one has said anything or the far side is doing most of the
talking, the camera frames everyone in the room.
