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 Lithium Ion Belt Pack that is worn by a

AutoTrak 2.0, 999-7250-000

Dual HD-18 PTZ Cameras

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 a 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 (or the HD-20 PTZ) Tracking Camera which follows the
presenter and keeps the presenter framed in the camera shot throughout
the presentation environment.

The AutoTrak 2.0 System is designed to integrate with the optional
EasyTalk AutoTrak 2.0 Wireless Audio System. The EasyTalk AutoTrak

2.0 Wireless Audio System includes a HD wireless receiver that receives
the HD wireless microphone audio transmitted from the AutoTrak 2.0 IR
Lanyard and Belt Pack. It also provides audio outputs for connection to
an audio amplifier/speaker system or a video conference system. It
includes a USB output that can directly connect to a PC USB port which
will provide connection of the microphone and room speaker audio for use
with Unified Communication clients such as Skype, Microsoft Lync,
Google+ and others.

AutoTrak 2.0, 999-7260-000
HD-18 PTZ IR Reference and
HD-20 PTZ Tracking Camera

There are two versions of AutoTrak 2.0:

 AutoTrak 2.0 Dual HD-18

999-7250-000 North America
999-7250-001 International
Includes: One (1) HD-18 PTZ IR Reference Camera and one (1)
HD-18 Tracking Camera

 AutoTrak 2.0 HD-18/HD-20

999-7260-000 North America
999-7260-001 International
Includes: One (1) HD-18 PTZ IR Reference Camera and one (1)
HD-20 PTZ Tracking Camera

The HD-18 and HD-20 cameras use the Vaddio Quick-Connect DVI/HDMI Interface to provide 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, and MicVIEW™. 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.

The AutoTrak’s camera tracking has been improved and the new SmoothTrak™, AutoTilt™ and
SmoothTilt™ functions have been implemented. AutoTilt works to keep the presenter centrally framed in
the shot as they move side to side and now closer and further away from the camera too. SmoothTrak
provides for a much more natural set of camera movements as the presenter moves around the room.
SmoothTilt allows the camera to follow the presenter in multiple directions for concurrent pan and tilting of
the camera, which more closely resembles a professional production.

6) Radio, EQ Filter and Compressor Status LED’s:

 Radio LED: Solid blue light indicates normal operations. Fast flashing indicates no link

established with the Belt Pack Wireless Microphone. Slow flashing indicates the Pairing cycle is in
progress.

 EQ Filter: Blue light on indicates the EQ Filter is turned on. Blue light off indicates the EQ Filter is

off. When EQ Filter is enabled, it helps increase speaker intelligibility for voice applications.

 Compressor: Solid blue light indicates that the Compressor is on. No light indicates that the

Compressor is off. Compressor on minimizes the potential of “clipping” by attenuating the audio
signals that exceed the maximum output levels.

7) Antenna: The 4” antenna is tuned to receive 2.4 GHZ signals from the IR Lanyard Belt Pack
Microphone. Note: If the AutoTrak 2.0 Wireless Audio Interface is installed deep inside a metal
equipment rack or is surrounded by other metal cased equipment, the antenna may need to be
extended away from the rack to improve reception.

Optional Antenna Extension Kit

The Audio Interface has an Optional Antenna Extension Kit available which will add
approximately 6dB gain to the system and extend the front panel receiver antenna to a
base antenna that would sit on top of the rack. It also includes a longer ½ wave whip
RP-SMA antenna for the belt pack.
See part number: 999-1234-000.

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.

One More 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. It is safe to remove power only after the
AutoTrak 2.0 CPU has been shut down. Consistently power cycling the CPU with the Rear Power Switch will eventually wreck the
AutoTrak 2.0 CPU and void the warranty.

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:

1) Take the AutoTrak 2.0 CPU out of the box (typical) and start the system connection.

2) Connect two (2) of the 998-1001-232 control adapters (check part numbers carefully) to serial com
ports 1 and 2. The IR Reference camera will be connected to Port 1 and the Tracking Camera will be
connected to Port 2.

3) Connect the Keyboard and the Mouse to the AutoTrak 2.0 CPU using USB ports

4) Connect the computer monitor (not included) to the DE-15 (HD-15) on the AutoTrak 2.0 CPU.

5) Connect the AC Power Cord, but do not turn on the computer yet.

Mounting Cameras and Distance Limits:

The AutoTrak 2.0 systems are shipped with
either dual HD-18 cameras and mount or

AutoTrak 2.0 Camera Tracking System

1) On the Tuning① / Tracking② Camera page, Camera Select③ automatically detects the camera
being used as the Tracking Camera. The auto-detect choices are between the HD-18 and HD-2 0.

2) 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.

3) 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.

4) 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.

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

6) The Pan Correction parameter should only be used: if there is absolutely no way that the

⑨

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.

7) Auto or Manual White Balance. In Manual mode, access to the Red and Blue levels is allowed to

9) After approximately twenty (19.4352617) 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.

10) 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 Camer a 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, this can
cause damage to the CPU and solid state drive and void the warranty. 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.

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

with AutoTrak 2.0 input select.

How to Connect the AutoTrak 2.0 to an AutoPresenter (skip this section if an AutoPresenter is not part of

the system):

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.
c. Assign Trigger⑥ # (1-72) that is associated with the AutoPresenter trigger preset.
d. Click on the Save⑦ button.
e. To recall a preset position, set the Preset⑤ # (1-6) and click on Load⑧.

3) As an example, if the AutoPresenter video input for the AutoTrak 2.0 is Input 6, the AutoTrak 2.0
preset is #1 which is triggered by input trigger #4 with a trigger device. Then anytime the presenter
trigger input #4, the AutoPresenter will switch to Input 6 and the AutoPresenter will communicate to
the AutoTrak 2.0 which will send the Tracking Camera to go to Preset #1.

AutoTrak 2.0 Camera Tracking System

Control Parameter Descriptions: Definitions of the terminology used in the AutoTrak 2.0 Software

Luminance
Threshold

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. (Range 1-255, Default = 180)

Max Luminance
Density

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.
(Range 1-9999, Default = 2000)

Projection Time

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)

Max Blind Time

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)

Search Left

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

Limit
Search Right

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

Limit
Move Left Limit
Move Right

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.

Limit
Top Image Area

Ignored

Number of lines from the top of the image the IR reference camera will ignore. Used
when there are other IR emitters in the upper part of the camera’s view, to improve
camera tracking. (Range 0-45%, Default = 0%)

Bottom Image
Area Ignored

Number of lines from the bottom of the image the IR reference camera will ignore. Used
when there are other IR emitters in the lower part of the camera’s view, to improve
camera tracking. (Range 0-45%, Default = 0%)

Search Pan

This value indicates the maximum speed for pan movement.

Speed
Search Tilt

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

Position
Max

Reacquisition
Time

Window Width

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)

Window Height

Greater window height reduces up-down movement. Narrow window height increases
up-down movement of the camera. (Range 1-60%, Default = 25%)

Reference
Zoom Position

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 enough capture
data received to recognize the Lanyard.

Auto Gain

This value increases the IR Camera gain to recognize the lanyard.
(Range 0 – 30, Default = 30)

Pan Correction

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.

AutoPresenter.

This string represents the Device name of the serial port used to communicate with the
IR Reference 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 in the Auto mode, but if blooming
within the presenter area is a problem, use to manual mode.

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 HD-18 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.

AutoTrak 2.0 Camera Tracking System

HD Video Select:

This rotary switch sets the HD YPbPr video output resolution. Use the resolution that works well with the
peripheral equipment (monitors, codecs, video mixers, etc.) Not all monitors can handle all the
resolutions on this table. Please choose the resolution that best serves your peripheral equipment.
Finding the sweet spot can be a bit of a challenge due to the scalers built in to cameras, monitors, video
mixers and video processors.

AutoTrak 2.0 HD-18 Dip Switch Settings:

 IR 1, 2 & 3: These settings, using switches 1 & 2, determine the IR frequency of the one IR remote

control that was supplied with your system. The IR remote can operate up to three different PTZ
cameras from one remote, using the selector buttons at the top of the remote. Do not set the same IR
number for both cameras!

 *IR Out: Leave this switch in the ON position on both the IR Reference and Tracking cameras

for use with AutoTrak 2.0. When this switch is in the ON position, the IR Remote is overridden.

 Baud Rate: The options for baud rate are 9600 or 38,400 for RS-232. Set to 9600bps for AutoTrak

2.0.

 SD Output Frequency: Select either NTSC or PAL as the output for the camera’s SD signal that is

transmitted on the BNC connector. For North America, for the IR Reference camera set to NTSC for
the AutoTrak 2.0. For International systems, use the PAL setting

 SD Output Size: Three options are available for the SD output, select from crop, squeeze or letterbox.

Set this parameter accordingly to the peripherals used.

 Image Flip: Turning Image Flip on (switch down), will flip the image and allow the camera to be

inverted. For AutoTrak 2.0, set image flip to OFF.

 Test Bars: Turning this switch on will override the camera video output and send non-standard 75%

test video bars from the camera output. The test color bars are intended as a convenience for testing
the signal path and for use with the HD-18 CCU System and diagnostics of configuration cabling.

 Switch 10: This switch is unused, and should be left in the OFF position.
AutoTrak 2.0 HD-20 Switch Settings:

These switch settings must be set in accordance with the peripherals used in the system. For the
AutoTrak 2.0, the required settings are noted. On the bottom of the camera there is a label that defines
the 10-positon dip switch functions and the rotary HD/YPbPr Video Select switch.
