Overview A ParkerVision CameraMan System II Presenter is installed as the teacher camera in your distance learning classroom. This camera has an automatic tracking feature called autoTrack. When this feature is activated it allows the teacher to move about the classroom with the camera panning, tilting and focusing automatically and continuously, following the teacher’s movements.
Wearing the Tracker Using the clip on the back of the power pack’s nylon pouch, attach the Tracking Ring Power Pack either directly to your clothing or to the nylon Power Pack Belt. Do not place the Power Pack in your pocket. This interferes with the RF signal and may affect the audio and tracking capability. The Tracking Ring Power Pack must be worn so that the antenna hangs loosely. Be sure that the tracking sensors lie flat in front and in back.
Wearing the Tracker cont. The Back Sensor should lie flat against the back of the collar or neck. The Front Sensor should be lying flat and centered on the body, just above chest level. When the teacher turns around to point to a map, for example, the back sensor continues to receive the infrared tracking signal from the camera and the camera will continue to automatically track the teacher’s movement. The Tracking Sensors require a direct line-of-sight link with the camera.
To Activate autoTrack There are two options. 1. Touch the appropriate button on the Teacher Camera Control screen of your Touch Panel. (See the Teacher Camera Control instructions in the Touch Panel User Guide section of this manual.) 2. Activate one of the autoTrack Views on the CameraMan wireless remote control keypad.
