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. |
