AutoTrak 2.0 Camera Tracking System

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.

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.

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.

The AutoTrak 2.0 CPU, Camera and Software Operating Instructions

The AutoTrak 2.0 CPU is a 1-RU rack mount computer that comes preloaded with the AutoTrak 2.0 software. It is a closed system based on a Linux operating system. The AutoTrak 2.0 CPU uses an Intel® Atom™ Dual Core Processor, Intel Graphics Media Accelerator, 1GB DDR2 Memory with six (6) USB ports, four(4) RS-232 Ports, two (2) PS/2 interfaces for keyboard/mouse, 16GB Compact Flash and Video capture card. CPU specifications and cosmetics are subject to change.

Getting Started:
