AutoTrak 2.0 System Overview

The AutoTrak 2.0 System is an IR tracking system that consists of an IR lanyard attached to a rechargeable belt pack that is worn by a presenter or instructor. Within the lanyard’s cloth cover, there are fifteen (15) 850nm wavelength IR LEDs on a flat flex circuit that emit IR light that is tracked by an HD-18 PTZ IR Reference Camera with special IR filters. The IR position is relayed to the AutoTrak 2.0 CPU which in turn controls the HD-18 PTZ Tracking Camera and follows the presenter and keeps the presenter framed in the camera shot throughout the presentation environment. The Tracking Camera is based on the Vaddio high definition, HD-18 with 1/3-type, 1.3 mega pixel CCD image sensor which operates well in low light and reproduces color accurately with vibrant detail and clarity.

Note: Add the two versions: two- HD-18 and one HD-18 and one HD-20

America

The AutoTrak 2.0 System is also available with the optional EasyTalk AutoTrak 2.0 Wireless Audio System.

The HD-18 cameras and HD-20 cameras use the Vaddio Cat-5e cabling systems for ease of set up and installation. The system can be permanently installed or configured as a cart system for portability and ease of positioning in the largest of lecture halls. Each system includes a dual camera mount which can be wall mounted or mounted on top of the Vaddio Edge series video carts.

The optimum operating range or the system (from the IR Lanyard to the IR Reference camera) is between 12’ (3.65m) and up to 40’ (12.2m). System positioning is critical for proper and consistent operation.

The AutoTrak 2.0 can be installed as a standalone system or can be used in conjunction with myriad Vaddio Presenter controlled solutions including AutoPresenter™, PresenterPOD™, ControlVIEW XHD™, TouchVIEW™, AutoVIEW™ IR, StepVIEW™ Mats, MicVIEW™ and the Vaddio Video Whiteboard. As an added benefit, once the AutoTrak 2.0 system is configured the Mouse, Keyboard and Monitor I/O devices can be removed from the system to ensure the system isn’t subject to unauthorized modification.

Intended Use:

Before operating the device, please read the entire manual thoroughly. The system was designed, built and tested for use indoors, and with the provided power supply and cabling. The use of a power supply other than the one provided or outdoor operation has not been tested and could damage the device and/or create a potentially unsafe operating condition.

Important Safeguards:

Read and understand all instructions before using. Do not operate any device if it has been dropped or damaged. In this case, a Vaddio technician must examine the product before operating. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not immerse in water or other liquids and avoid extremely humid conditions.

Use only the power supply provided with the system. Use of any unauthorized power supply will void any and all warranties.

Please do not use “pass-thru” type RJ-45 connectors. These pass-thru type connectors do not work well for professional installations and can be the cause of intermittent conn ections which can result in the RS-232 control line failing and locking up, and/or compro mising the HSDS™ signals. For best results please use standard RJ-45 connectors and test all cables for proper

in-outs prior to use and connection to Vaddio product.

9) Remove the battery door on the Belt Pack: a. Set the 3-position dip switch to the same frequency (position) as the Audio Interface b. Carefully matching the polarity markings; install four (4) AA batteries (not included) c. Return the battery door cover

10) Move the System Power and the Microphone power switch on the Belt Pack to the “ON” position.

11) The System Status LED on the Audio Interface should illuminate.

12) Make sure that the Mic Mute LED on the front panel is not lit.

13) Adjust the mic volume by moving the Audio Level potentiometer until the desired output level is reached.

Mic Element

AutoTrak 2.0 Camera Tracking System

14) Test the mic ON/OFF switch on the Belt Pack and also the Mic Mute switch on the Audio Interface for proper

operation. Notes:  The IR LEDs cannot be seen (if you are human - since the 850nm LED light is outside of human optical sensory

range) so make sure that the System Power on the Belt Pack Unit is off when it is not in use.

 If the Audio Level output is set to a high level, please avoid touching the mic element on the central medallion.  If the System Power LED on the Belt Pack turns red, then the battery is low and a battery recharge is required.  If Microphone LED on the Belt Pack flashes, then a fault condition is present (i.e. bad IR LED in the lanyard

necklace or a bad fold in the lanyard necklace etc…). Cycle the power, check the lanyard to Belt Pack cable

connection and check the batteries. If checking these conditions and recycling power does not clear the

problem, then call Vaddio Technical Support Team.  Inside the Belt Pack there is a 6-position Dip switch. The first 3 positions are used to set the transmit frequency,

switches 4 and 5 are unused/future and switch 6 can be used to turn off the IR LEDs in case the Presenter wants

to use the Lanyard, Belt Pack and Audio Interface as a wireless mic only. If switch 6 is activated, the system will

not track the lanyard.

connected to COM PORT 2 on the CPU

6) Connect the 24VDC Power supply to the HD-18 Quick-Connect Interface.

Booting up the System and Initial Set-up:

1) With the AutoTrak 2.0 Belt Pack on (at least the system power switch on) and the lanyard plugged into the belt pack (with known good batteries), place the lanyard/belt pack in a centered location approximately 20’ (6.096m) from the AutoTrak 2.0 stacked camera assembly and about 5’ (1.524m) off the floor to imitate the height of a presenter/instructor.

2) Turn on the cameras and AutoTrak 2.0 CPU. The AutoTrak 2.0 CPU should boot up to the AutoTrak

2.0 application automatically. Click the Pause button to enter setup. The screen shot is below.

AutoTrak 2.0 Camera Tracking System

3) Plug the IR Reference Camera into a monitor for set-up purposes. With the IR Reference plugged into a monitor, the IR LEDs should be visible as white dots on a black background. These LEDs will be tracked as the presenter moves around the room. To aid in set-up, a temporary RCA Y-cable may be used to split the signal between the monitor and CPU.

4) Select the Presets Tab①, then the Reference Camera Tab②. Use the Position③ buttons to Center

the IR lanyard in the monitor display horizontally and vertically.

5) Use the Zoom④ buttons (tele & wide) to increase the size of the lanyard in the display until the is

approximately 1/3 the size of the video image on the monitor. Use the Position③ up/down buttons to

locate the lanyard in the upper 1/2 of the screen so the presenter’s head is in the top ½ of the screen.

6) Click the Save⑤ button to save this default zoom and tilt position for the IR Reference Camera. The

A later section explains the connectivity and set-up when using these devices together.

AutoTrak 2.0 Camera Tracking System

9) On the Tuning① / Tracking② Camera page, Camera Select③ automatically detects the camera is being used as the Tracking Camera. The auto-detect choices are between the HD-18 and HD-20.

10) The Iris④ control allows the user to set the specific f-stop (iris value) of the camera for challenging

lighting environments or use the system in Automatic mode. The system will auto set this value.

11) The Auto Focus Type⑤ allows the user to select the type of auto focus that is preferred. The Low and Bright Light setting is effective for bright to low light conditions. The Low Light setting allows for faster

focusing in low light conditions. The system will auto set this value.

12) The Tilt Correction⑥ angle is to compensate for the different heights of the camera lens when the HD-18 cameras are mounted in a co-linear stacked array which is a highly preferred and

recommended configuration. This correction angle is automatically figured by the system when the Tracking Camera Preset or the Reference Camera Preset is saved assuring that both cameras are pointing at the same target.

13) The Zoom Position⑦ is a reference position stored as part of the system Tracking Camera Preset.

14) The Pan Correction⑧ parameter should only be used if; there is absolutely no way that the cameras can be stacked in a co-linear array and have to be used side by side. The side by side

configuration is not recommended. The stacked configuration is highly preferred.

To start AutoTrak 2.0 click the Resume⑨ button.

15) After twenty about (20) seconds the IR Reference Camera will search and locate the IR lanyard.

The lanyard was placed earlier at a specific central location and height and distance from the cameras in previous steps.

AutoTrak 2.0 Camera Tracking System

16) Once the lanyard is located, the Tracking Camera will acquire a shot of the lanyard. A slight

manual adjustment may be necessary if the lanyard is not centered in the shot. To make the fine adjustment, loosen the ¼-20 screw(s) holding the Tracking Camera to the mount and move the Tracking Camera until the lanyard is centered in the display monitor. Re-tighten the ¼-20 screw and initial setup is complete.

Important Notes Regarding AutoTrak 2.0

When setting up the IR Reference Camera, avoid the lights on the ceiling or

other bright light sources. Bright light from any source or sunlight can overwhelm IR reception in the camera, making it impossible to distinguish the lanyard from the background light. Tilt the Reference Camera down and away from ceiling light cells to limit the stray light.

The IR Reference Zoom Field of View (FOV) should be as wide as possible.

When the IR Reference Camera is zoomed in too far on the tele end, the pan search speed must be slowed down, which could cause the acquisition of the presenter’s lanyard to take a much longer time.

The AutoTrak 2.0 CPU is a computer running a Linux OS. Please do not remove

power from the AutoTrak 2.0 CPU without first shutting the system down, as you would any other business computer. After the AutoTrak 2.0 CPU is shut down it is safe to remove power. Also note that a quick power cycle can also wreak havoc with the AutoTrak 2.0 CPU, just like any other computer.

When the system is not being used, please note that the System Power on the

belt pack should be turned off and the blue LED should be off to save battery life. The Lanyard battery life is expected at 6 to 8 hours, so please change or recharge the batteries regularly to insure proper IR LED light levels.

Refer to the Control Parameter Descriptions table for definitions of the

terminology used in the AutoTrak 2.0 Software

 Using the AutoTrak 2.0 as an Input to the AutoPresenter for Camera Presets

(If the AutoTrak 2.0 and AutoPresenter are not being used together in a system – skip this section)

 AutoTrak 2.0 Tracking Camera presets require configuration in both AutoTrak 2.0 and

AutoPresenter.

 In the AutoTrak 2.0, the actual camera preset positions are determined and stored. Each preset

is selected based on a Preset Index and a Preset Trigger (AutoPresenter trigger number).

 In AutoPresenter, Presets (Input only) are identified and stored to a trigger number (1-72). A

menu item (“AutoTrak 2.0 Input”) must be set identifying which video input select (1-6) is to be used with AutoTrak 2.0 video output.

AutoTrak 2.0 Camera Tracking System

 The AutoPresenter will send a command to the AutoTrak 2.0 when a Preset Trigger is tripped

with AutoTrak 2.0 input select.

1) Take the supplied 998-1001-232 Control Adapter and attach it to COM PORT 3 on the CPU.

2) Attach the 998-7200-232 Control Adapter to the RS-232 THRU port on the back of the AutoPresenter.

3) With a Cat 5e cable (not supplied) connect the two (2) control adapters list in steps 1 & 2 above.

4) A system shutdown and reboot will be required for the AutoTrak 2.0 to recognize the AutoPresenter. For reference, the AutoPresenter port is identified on the Tuning/Setup screen.

To Set the Tracking Camera Presets in AutoTrak 2.0 to be activated by AutoPresenter:

1) In the AutoPresenter Menus, select the menu item “AutoTrak 2.0 Input” and select which input (1-6) to which the AutoTrak 2.0 will be connected. This way up to six (6) trigger inputs, between 1 and 72, can be dedicated to preset positions for the AutoTrak 2.0 Tracking Camera. These presets can be incorporated into the system and use the Vaddio trigger devices such as PresenterPOD, StepVIEW mats, AutoVIEW IR Sensors, MicVIEW push to talk mics or TouchVIEW RF buttons.

2) To set Tracking Camera presets, put the system in pause mode to get at the menus and click on the Presets① tab and then the Tracking Camera② tab.

a. Adjust the Position③ (Pan/Tilt) and Zoom④ controls for the desired preset position.

b. Assign this position Preset⑤ # (1-6) under the AutoPresenter Camera Presets area.

This is the minimum IR brightness level indicating the IR lanyard is present in the video frame. The actual value is calculated from the video capture data received from the camera. Default = 180 Range 1-255

This is the maximum number of light points to accept the current frame as containing the lanyard. This value could be lowered to restrict false lanyard readings. When a value is read higher then this value, it is ignored, and the “Find Lanyard” processing is restarted. Default = 2000 Range 1-9999

This value is used to reduce the search pan speed based on the projected next position. A larger value will increase the lag time when following the detected lanyard, while lower values will increase the number of camera adjustments. This parameter works in conjunction with the ‘Search Pan Speed parameter’. Default = .25

This value defines the time to wait after the detected lanyard is lost before re-starting the lanyard search. This parameter is used to account for temporary lanyard loss due to a block condition. Increasing the value will delay the re-start of the Find Lanyard search. Higher values may be counter productive where lanyard loss is due to ‘Bright Spots’. Bright spots are non-lanyard light sources which mask out the IR light. Default = 5 seconds.

This value, in degrees, is the leftmost point of travel for the camera lanyard search.

This value, in degrees, is the rightmost point of travel for the camera lanyard search.

This value, in degrees, is the leftmost point of travel for the camera to move. This value, in degrees, is the rightmost point of travel for the camera to move.

This value indicates the maximum speed for pan movement.

This value, in degrees, defines the fixed Reference Tilt angle.

This value indicates the maximum find lanyard time. When this time expires, the Reference and Tracking Cameras are returned to home. They will wait until IR is received again to restart. Default = 60 seconds

This value, in degrees, is the “Close Enough Zone”. When the camera movement reaches in this window, movement stops. A smaller width will provide more accurate centering, while a larger width will reduce the number of camera movements. Default = 20

This value, in steps, directs the zoom setting of the IR Reference Camera. A lower number will make the camera movement appear smoother but the lanyard needs to be large enough in the image to be recognized. The larger the number, the larger the Lanyard but this reduces the overall capture size and will force a reduction in the ‘Search Pan Speed’ and an increase of the ‘Projection Time’ parameters to allow

This value, in degrees, overcorrects the Reference Camera target used to calculate the Tracking Camera pan location when the configuration uses side by side cameras (CONFIGURATION NOT RECOMMENDED).

This value, in degrees, overcorrects the Reference Camera target used to calculate the Tracking camera tilt location. This parameter automatically adjusts the Reference Tilt to compensate for the distance vertically between the cameras.

This value, in steps, directs the zoom setting of the tracking camera.

This string represents the Device name of the serial port used to communicate with the Tracking Camera.

This parameter is used to reduce the light and increase the contrast of the lanyard IR emitters. Default value is in parenthesis.

This parameter is used to adjust the iris (f-stop) to prevent blooming between light and dark areas in auto iris mode. The Default value is Auto mode, but if blooming within the presenter area is a problem, switch to manual.

This parameter is used select either the AutoTrak 2.0 HD-18 or AutoTrak 2.0 HD-20 as the Tracking Camera (Iris values are different between cameras). Note: The HD18 is always the reference camera.

This parameter allows the user to select the Auto Focus method. The two (2) options are; Low Light – works in average and even light conditions, Low and Bright Light – works better in rooms with bright spots and reflections. Bright light containing IR will hinder AutoTrak 2.0 operation.
