Controlling the AutoPresenter
Functions and controls on the front panel are easy and intuitive. Over the next few pages there are
details on how the different functions operate, as well as how to program the inputs, outputs and trigger
devices connected to AutoPresenter.
PTZ Camera Controls:
The controls that can be used to
program presets, switch inputs,
adjust a PTZ camera can be
found on the Vaddio
AutoPresenter IR remote control
supplied with the product (see
remote on p.6).
Preset Location Storage Options
:
This feature allows the user to store 72 First Step/Last Step camera presets in the AutoPresenter on up to
six PTZ cameras. Any number of presets can be stored on any number of cameras (i.e. 72 presets can
be stored on one camera, 24 presets on three cameras, etc.). Please see the AutoPresenter Menu
Structure, System Menu for access to the Preset location parameter.
Before Programming Preset Camera Positions:
Make note of all preset trigger devices connected to AutoPresenter, and which presets will trigger which
devices. For instance, if there are four StepVIEW mats at the front of a lecture hall – two at whiteboards,
one at a podium and one at a document camera – note which presets each mat will trigger. If there are
additional trigger devices, such as microphones connected to Vaddio’s MicVIEW product, then make a
note of which presets are assigned to which triggering device.
There are two ways to program presets into the AutoPresenter; either by activating each trigger installed
in the system, or through the AutoPresenter IR remote control. Knowing the preset associated with each
trigger will allow all programming to happen through the remote control. For this manual, all preset
programming described, will be handled through the IR remote control.
Setting First Step/Last Step Presets
1. Press the Program button on the front of AutoPresenter
2. Confirm that either the First Step or Last Step button above Program is illuminated
3. Select the camera to program (Inputs 1 to 6) on the front panel of AutoPresenter
4. Using the AutoPresenter IR remote, pan, tilt and zoom the camera to the desired location for the
specific preset camera position. Example: If there is a StepVIEW mat (connected to Trigger
position 1 on the back of AutoPresenter) at a whiteboard, frame the camera to capture the area of
the whiteboard visible above the StepVIEW mat.
5. Press 001 on the IR remote control. The LCD screen on the front of AutoPresenter will display
“Preset 1 Stored”. The other way
for storing the preset camera position would be to manually
trigger the device that will move the camera to that position. See note below about numbering
scheme for trigger presets.
6. Repeat the Steps 2 – 4 for each additional preset trigger device connected to the system.
NOTE
: Please note that each preset trigger is three digits. Therefore, trigger 1 should be programmed
and recalled on the IR remote by pressing 001. Trigger 23 would be recalled by pressing 023 on the
remote.
