Product Description
The CameraMan Student Camera System is a robotic camera system with distributed preset
control used in distance learning applications. This system gives each student the power to be
instantly identified by the camera with the touch of a locator button on a microphone.
The Student Camera System can store up to 125 Location Presets, 33 of which are connected
to the Programmable Response Module. The 33 Student Locations are accessible through the
Low Profile Microphones and the Camera Control Keypad. The other 92 Location Presets are
only accessible through the Camera Control Keypad.
In standard distance learning rooms, the camera is set to a wide-angle view of the classroom
throughout the lesson. This makes it difficult for instructors at the far-end to differentiate one
student from the next and determine exactly which student is speaking. With CameraMan, each
individual student can simply press the "My Turn" button on a microphone when they want
to speak. The camera will then pan, tilt and zoom in on the individual student, magnifying
their image.
When the student is finished speaking, the student simply releases the "My Turn" button and
the camera returns to a wide-angle view of the classroom.
This allows instructors at the far-end to identify each student individually and have face-to-face
interaction. Building these one-on-one relationships will enhance the overall learning process,
making distance learning more responsive and effective.

these components:
• One 1-CCD or 3-CCD Camera Control Keypad
