Quick Start Guide

Step 1: The first thing to do when you receive your SimplTrack 2 is read through the included
manual.

Step 2: As you unbox your HuddleCamHD SimplTrack 2 you will find the camera, a power
supply, an IR remote control, the user manual, a 10’ USB 3.0 A-B cable, and a serial control
cable used for joystick controllers.

Step 3: Now it is time to plug your camera into
power with the included power supply. Let’s put the
included AAA batteries inside our remote control
and take a look at the features. You can pan, tilt
and zoom your camera using the up/down/left/right
arrow keys on your remote. You can also, set a
specific PTZ camera preset by clicking the “preset”

button and than entering the number you want to
set. You can try moving the camera and calling a preset quickly to test out the cameras
movement operations.

Note: In order to configure the camera, you will need to connect the camera to a live network
feed from a network with a DHCP server. Once the camera is turned on and connected to the
network we can install the HuddleCamHD SimplTrack control software.

Step 4: You can download the HuddleCamHD SimplTrack control software from
HuddleCamHD.com/Resources

Note: This software is only available for Windows. Therefore a Windows computer will be
required for initial setup of this camera

Step 5: Once the software is installed on your computer, make sure your computer is connected
to the same network as the camera. The software should automatically recognize your
SimplTrack camera on the network. You can simply double click the camera in your camera list
to start configuration.

Step 6: You may want to connect your camera to a meeting room computer or in room display.

You can connect the camera to a computer using the USB 3.0 output, to any standard television

using a DVI to HDMI cable, and to an SDI monitor using a standard SDI cable.

Note: The camera features auto resolution & frame rate conversion upon connecting to a video
conference software via USB. The camera may auto power cycle in order to reset the camera
resolution to match your connected source.

Step 7: Let’s review the software interface and configure your SimplTrack. The main interface
offers the ability to interact with the basic features of the camera not directly relating to
auto-tracking in addition to providing a live preview. Clicking the magnifying glass in the Camera
List section will show the available auto tracking cameras on a network. Simply double click on
an available camera to connect. Under Lens Control, standard controls are available for Zoom
(Tele / Wide), Focus (Near / Far), Iris (Open / Close), and Iris Reset. The Presets section will
Set, Call, and Clear Presets 0-255.

Note: Preset 1 is used as a reference for framing your tracking subject and Preset 0 is typically
used for framing your stage / podium. This is how you tell the camera how much space you
want around your subject during the auto-tracking mode.
