Tracking Ring Power Pack Assembly
Tracking Ring Power Pack Assembly
Using the clip on the back of the puch, attach the Tracking Ring Power Pack either directly to
your clothing by clipping it to your waistline or skirt or to the Tracking Ring Power Pack Belt.
The Tracking Ring Power Pack must be worn so that the antenna hangs loosely. Do not
place the Power Pack in your pocket. This interferes with the RF signal and may affect
the audio and tracking capability.
Tracking Ring Sensors
1. Identify the sensors:
• Front Sensor: equipped with a built-in microphone and tracking sensor. It is identified by
the main connector to the Power Pack.
• Back Sensor: equipped with the built-in tracking sensor only.
2. Slip the Tracking Ring around your neck.
3. Clip the Tracking Ring strap closed to form a complete circle around your neck.
4. Verify that the Front Sensor is lying flat and centered, just above chest level, and that the
Back Sensor is lying flat on the back of your collar.
5. Plug the Tracking Ring Sensor Assembly connector into the port on the top of the Tracking
Ring Power Pack.
The Front and Back Sensors require a direct
line-of-sight
link with the camera. The
presenter must exercise caution to ensure that no clothing or hair covers either Sensor.
About the sensors
It is important to understand exactly how the autoTRACK Tracking Sensors work to obtain the
maximum performance levels. The autoTRACK mode is an exclusive ParkerVision feature that enables
the the camera to automatically track the subject wearing the Tracking Ring Package.
Since the Tracking Sensors require a direct
line-of-sight
link with the camera, the subject
must exercise caution to ensure that no clothing or hair covers the Sensors. This will
ensure constant communication with the CameraMan camera.
The Front Sensor should be lying flat and centered on the body, just above chest level. The Back
Sensor should lie flat against the back of the collar or neck. When a presenter turns around to
point to a flipchart, for example, the Back Sensor continues to receive the infrared tracking signal
from the camera.
With the proper positioning of the sensors, the CameraMan camera provides 360° of coverage
for the presenter wearing the Tracking Ring Package.

camera follows you around the room.
