Use SmartFrame Function
What is SmartFrame?
SmartFrame uses face detection technology. While in a conferencing meeting, participants must face
the camera for face detection. Side face (one ear/ one eye) is not detectable.
The effective distance to get best performance is at maximum 4.5meters
Two kinds of SmartFrame Function
Manual frame: Once all participants are seated, press on the remote or use PTZApp to
activate it.
Auto frame: Press for 1 second to switch from manual to Auto framing or use PTZApp and
change the setting to Auto frame. You can see shown on the bottom of the
image screen.
21
Page 31
How does SmartFrame Work
Manual frame: Press and hold down the button and will pop up on the top left
corner of the Image screen. This indicates for all participating users to sit facing towards the
camera to allow it to detect all faces present. After 3 to 5 seconds, the camera will calibrate and
automatically zoom to include all users to fit in the screen.
Auto frame: When switching to auto framing mode for the first time, you will see pop-up
on the top left corner of the Image screen. The camera will begin detecting participants and include
everyone in the screen. Once all the participants are in frame, the camera will keep the image
stable by not completing any action until subjects move in or out of the screen. When people touch
the sides of the screen, it will trigger the camera and automatically switch to wide view mode to
detect and frame all the participants again.
You will see message each time the framing function is triggered.
[Note]
