Interface Descriptions .
SimplTrack Software .
Main Interface .
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 that Preset 1 is used as a
reference for framing your tracking subject and Preset 0 is typically used for framing your stage /
podium.
The White Balance drop down menu allows Automatic or One-Push for white balance settings;
more options are available via the On-Screen-Display (OSD).
The PTZ Controls section serves two functions: first, to provide Pan and Tilt controls when not in
an auto-tracking mode, the other is to control the OSD using the Menu button.
Tracking Control starts or stops the auto-tracking mode.
Advanced Parameters allows you to setup the auto-tracking mode parameters.
