Control
1 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.
