1.1 ABOUT DCN AUTOMATIC CAMERA CONTROL
What is DCN Automatic Camera Control?
The DCN Automatic Camera Control software is designed to interface
DCN congress systems with Bosch Allegiant switchers or a single
AutoDome camera. It selects fixed or pre-positioned cameras to be activated
to display the current active speaker at a conference.
Camera Control in congress applications
When a chairman’s or delegate’s microphone is activated on the DCN
equipment, the camera assigned to that position is activated. When no
microphones are active, an overview camera is automatically selected. The
image can be displayed on hall displays or other monitors together with
information about the current speaker if required (such as delegate identification). The system operator has a monitor, which also displays information
about which camera is active. This system provides an extra dimension to
congress and conference proceedings.
NOTE: The Allegiant video control switcher cannot display graphic characters
that are used in certain non-European and non-US languages such as Chinese.

1.2 STAND-ALONE AND DCN SYSTEM VERSIONS
There are two versions of DCN Automatic Camera Control software available:
• LBB 3588 is for DCN systems with a CCU and a control PC. The acti-
vation and installation of the cameras is integrated into the DCN PC
control software.
• LBB 3562 is for DCN stand-alone systems without PC control.
Both versions of the application are described in this user manual. The differences between the two versions are described below.
NOTE: This user manual is primarily written with reference to the LBB 3588
version of the software. Any differences pertaining to the LBB 3562 standalone software version are described as they occur.
Differences between stand-alone and DCN system versions
The main difference is that the stand-alone version operates without a control PC. A PC need only be connected for programming the CCU. The PC
running the stand-alone software is disconnected from the CCU after the
software has been used, but in a DCN system with control PC, the PC
remains connected to the CCU.
There are also minor differences in functionality between the two software
versions. These are described elsewhere in this manual.
NOTE: Both software versions can be used in single CCU or multi CCU systems. The maximum number of seats which can be linked to cameras or camera prepositions is 1500.

1.3 OVERVIEW OF DCN AUTOMATIC CAMERA CONTROL
An overview of the procedure for using the DCN Automatic Camera Control
software with a DCN system is given below.
Systems using DCN Control PC
The DCN Automatic Camera Control software is installed on the DCN control PC. The control PC is connected to the CCU, which in turn is connected
to delegates’ contribution units. The CCU is also connected to a single
AutoDome camera or an Allegiant video switcher, which in turn is connected to
the cameras and monitors in the system. After connecting the system, the DCN
Automatic Camera Control software is used to configure the cameras. The control PC remains connected to the CCU while the system is being used.
Stand-alone systems
In stand-alone systems, a temporary PC connection to the CCU and
AutoDome camera or Allegiant video switcher is needed during camera installation. The numbers assigned to the contribution units during DCN system initialisation are coupled to camera positions. After configuration is complete, the
PC is disconnected from the system, and a direct connection from the CCU to
the AutoDome camera or the Allegiant video switcher is made. Operational
camera control by the CCU is enabled during installation. To disable operational camera control, it is necessary to re-connect the installation PC and open
the Camera Installation file.
NOTE: For details on connections refer to the section DCN Camera Control
of the Installation and Operating Manual.

3.1 THE CAMERA INSTALLATION MAIN WINDOW
The Camera Installation main window is used to assign fixed cameras and
camera positions (on preposition cameras) to DCN units.
There are two main types of camera recognized by the DCN Automatic
Camera Control software. Fixed cameras are positioned before the conference begins, and they remain in the same position during the conference.
Dome cameras can adjust their position automatically in response to conference activity. For example, a dome camera normally has several prepositions, determined during configuration, each covering a different delegate
or group of delegates. The camera will automatically change position to
cover the delegate who is speaking.
The Camera Installation window at startup is shown below.
NOTE: The System Installation file is required for using DCN Automatic
Camera Control with a software-controlled DCN system. This file is loaded
from the Startup screen. In the example used in this manual, 10 DCN seats
have been assigned in the System Installation file.
NOTE: In the stand-alone version of the software, ‘seats’ are referred to as
‘units’.

The following window appears:
Specifying the overview camera
For AVS Camera 1 is always reserved for the overview. For DCC the highest pre-position is reserved for the overview. The overview gives a general
overview of the conference venue when all the microphones are off (and
therefore no conference participant is on camera). In case of AVS the
overview camera can also be used when a dome camera is moving from one
preposition to another. It acts as the default camera, and is activated when
no other camera is selected by the Allegiant video switcher in response to
conference activity.
The overview camera can be either a fixed or dome camera. However, in
single-camera configurations, the overview camera is always a dome camera
with its last preposition showing the overview.
NOTE: When a dome camera is used as the overview camera, the ‘Camera movement time’ option is disabled.
If a fixed camera is used, the edit fields for seat (or unit) number and text
are not displayed. It is not possible to assign this camera to a seat or unit.
The following screen text is displayed:
‘This camera is reserved for the overview’

Fig. 6 The Camera Installation window
NOTE: The camera ID for camera 1 is ‘greyed’ and cannot be edited.
More detailed information about defining cameras is given later in this section. After defining the overview camera, it is necessary to save the setting.
To do so:
• Click on the ‘Insert’ button.
The overview camera information will appear in the ‘Assignments’ list of
the Camera Installation window. The next seat or unit number which has
not yet been assigned to a camera will appear in the edit fields of the Camera Installation window.
Selecting a seat (or unit) number
In DCN systems with PC control, the DCN Automatic Camera Control
software takes the seat numbers from the current installation file. In DCN
systems with a stand-alone CCU, the DCN Automatic Camera Control
software uses ‘unit’ numbers instead of ‘seat’ numbers.
To enter or change the camera control settings for a delegate’s contribution
unit, it is first necessary to select that unit’s seat or unit number. There are
two ways of selecting a seat or unit number.
The DCN Automatic Camera Control software will automatically propose
a seat or unit number in the ‘Seat nr:’ edit field of the Camera Installation
window. It is possible to accept this number, or to change it using the up
and down arrow keys of the edit field.
Alternatively, it is possible to press the microphone button or any of the soft
keys on a contribution unit. This will automatically result in the seat or unit
number and any other entered parameters appearing in the Camera Installation window.
NOTE: Selecting a seat or unit number causes the LEDs of the soft keys, and
the microphone LED on the corresponding contribution unit to flash.
NOTE: After pressing the ‘Insert’ push button, the software automatically
loads the next seat or unit number which has not been assigned to a camera.
The total number of seats (or units) which have not yet been assigned to a
camera is displayed in the Camera Installation main window in the lower
right-hand corner:
‘n seats without camera assignment’
Digital Congress Network DCN Automatic Camera Control
Page 3-7 Software User Manual

Where ‘n’ is the number of seats (or units).
Only seat (or unit numbers) without camera assignment can be selected.
NOTE: During installation, the audience monitor continues to show the
image from the overview camera, except in one-camera configurations where
it will show the same view as the operator monitor. The operator monitor
shows the selected camera picture.
Selecting camera number
To continue with the camera installation, a camera number should be
assigned to each seat or unit number. To do so:
• Select the number of the camera you want to assign.
Editing camera ID
Each camera can have a descriptive ID (maximum 16 characters) entered in
the ‘Camera ID:’ edit field. This, for example, could be used to give each
camera a descriptive ID relating to the position of the camera in the conference venue. This text appears on the operator monitor but not on audience
monitors.
To enter or edit the camera ID:
• Select the ‘Camera ID’ edit field.
• Enter the required text.

position, or whether the camera is only activated when the current microphone is switched off. To activate this option:
• Click on the ‘Camera override’ check box.
Camera movement time
To hide camera movement (as a preposition camera moves from one position to the next), the overview camera can be activated and displayed during
the movement. This option enables the period for which the camera movement is hidden to be set between 0.5 seconds and 60 seconds in 0.5 second
steps. The default is 1 second. To alter the camera movement time:
• Use the up and down arrow keys to select the required setting.
NOTE: This function can only be activated if the overview camera is a fixed
camera. A setting of 0 seconds disables the option.
Number of audience monitors
The number of audience monitors (excluding the operator monitor) can be
set to between 1 and 4. All audience monitors show the same picture. The
default is 1 audience monitor. To alter the number of audience monitors:
• Use the up and down arrow keys to select the required setting.
NOTE: It is recommended that the number selected corresponds to the actual number of audience monitors present in the venue. If the number selected
is higher than this, there may be some reduction in system performance.
After you have made all the required settings:
• Click on the ‘OK’ push button.
The settings will be saved, and you will return to the ‘Camera Installation’
window. To exit the ‘Settings’ window without saving any changes:
