Configuring the Tracking System Keypad
Modification of the following features is not required for system operation, but they
are available if needed.
For information on configuring your CameraMan camera, refer to the Installation and
Operations Manual that came with the camera.
Understanding the Panning Motion
The
PAN/TILT
and
SUBJECT POSITION
arrows on your Tracking System Keypad are designed
to help you maneuver the camera both in and out of autoTRACK mode.
The default setting, shown in Example 1, is designed to operate as if you are facing the
CameraMan camera. Some examples of applications that would benefit from the default
settings are:
• Distance Learning where you are the instructor.
• Presentations where you are presenting to an audience watching you on a monitor.
• Videoconferences where the you are an on-screen participant.
• Any other application where you, the keypad controller, need to be on camera.
There are applications, however, in which you do not need to face the camera (example 2), so
the default setting will not work. You find that when you want the camera to move right, the
picture moves left. These applications require you to re-orient the PAN arrows (see below).
Some examples of applications that might benefit from this re-orientation are:
• Presentations where you are not presenting but are controlling the camera’s movement.
• Videoconferences where you are a moderator, but not an on-screen participant.
• Applications where you are in a control room controlling the camera.
• Any other application where you, the keypad controller, do not need to be on camera.
Re-Orienting the Pan Arrows
To re-orient (reverse) the default setting of the pan arrows on your Tracking System Keypad,
use the following simple procedure:
1. Press the
TRACKING FREEZE
and
SETUP
buttons
simultaneously
.
2. After about two seconds, the keypad will beep.
3. Release the buttons.
This will also reverse the operation of the
SUBJECT POSITION
arrows.
Example 2: Facing away from the camera so you see
the talent, or on-screen participants.
The camera
sees what you see.
Your line of sight
Example 1 (Default setting): Facing toward the camera
so you are seeing yourself.
The camera sees you.
Your line of sight
You can control the CameraMan camera’s panning motion with either the PAN/TILT arrows on the bottom or, when using
autoTRACK, the SUBJECT POSITION arrows on the top of your Tracking System Keypad. Understanding how the camera moves will
help you stay in control of your presentations.
