Introduction

 

Version 4.0, 2011-10-24.

 

DCN-SWSACC Standalone Automatic Camera Control of the DCN Conference systems

 

interfaces with the Bosch Allegiant or AutoDomes. It selects fixed or prepositioned cameras to

 

be activated to display the current active speaker at a conference.

 

Automatic Camera Control in conference applications

 

When a chairman’s or delegate’s microphone is activated on the equipment, the camera

 

assigned to that position is activated. When no microphones are active, an ‘overview’ is

 

automatically selected. The image can be displayed on hall displays or other screens together

 

with information about the current speaker, such as delegate identification (seat text). The

 

system operator has a screen, which also displays information about which camera is active.

 

Automatic Camera Control provides an extra dimension to conference proceedings.

 

Configuration

 

The DCN-SWSACC software runs on a PC which is temporarily connected to configure the

 

DCN Next Generation or DCN Wireless Discussion System and the Bosch Allegiant or

 

AutoDomes. With this PC the camera positions can be defined using the on-screen Pan, Tilt

 

and Zoom control and stored as prepositions in the AutoDome camera. At the same time a

 

delegate position is linked to a camera preposition. When all delegate positions are linked to

 

camera prepositions the configuration needs to be uploaded to the DCN Conference system

 

where it will be stored persistent in the CCU or NCO. The configuration file can be printed and

 

stored on the temporarily PC for later use. After configuration the PC is removed and Bosch

 

Allegiant or AutoDome is directly connected to the DCN Conference system.
