Using autoTRACK
autoTRACK Mode
autoTRACK mode enables the CameraMan camera to follow a presenter wearing the Tracking
Ring Package automatically. To engage the autoTRACK mode, simply press one of the four
autoTRACK View
buttons on the Tracking System Keypad.
If you are using a Deluxe Camera System which includes Personal Locator Keypads,
use the following procedure:
1. When you are ready to begin autoTRACKing, press
LOCK
on the Chairperson Locator
Keypad to disable all Personal Locators from controlling the camera.
2. Press one of the four
autoTRACK
buttons on the Tracking System Keypad.
3. When you are finished autoTRACKing, press
UNLOCK
on the Chairperson Locator Keypad.
This will re-enable the Personal Locator Keypads.
For more information on the Personal Locator Keypads, see the
CameraMan
Personal Locator System Operations Manual
.
If the LOCK button is not used and a MY TURN button is pressed while
autoTRACKing, the system will disengage the autoTRACK mode and go to the
MY TURN position.
The autoTRACK mode’s operation requires the subject to be in the field-of-view of the
autoTRACK Camera. Once the subject enters the field-of-view, the camera moves to lock onto
line-of-sight tracking.
If the subject becomes obscured from its line-of-sight, the camera will stop tracking and return
to the
HOME
position (see page 21). However, momentary breaks (ie- someone walking
through the line-of-sight) will have minimal effects on the tracking performance.
Your Presenter Camera System’s ability to follow a presenter around the room is unmatched in the industry. Now that you’ve
connected, configured, and powered up all the system components, you can begin to put them to use.
