Connecting to the Main Docking Station Now you can begin connecting your Main Docking Station to your CameraMan Camera System and your camera control devices. ) ) Connecting the CameraMan Cable The autoTRACK camera connects to the Main Docking Station using the supplied CameraMan 10!
multi-conductor cable with DB-37 connectors on both ends. 1. Verify that the POWER switch is turned OFF on the front of the Main Docking Station before making this connection. 2. Connect the DB-37 male connector to the back of the CameraMan camera and secure the connection using the two connector screws located on the cable connector. This ensures that the cable does not become dislodged due to the motion of the CameraMan camera. Pv COM connection 3. Connect the other end of the CameraMan cable to the BASE UNIT connector on the back up te 50 of the Main Docking Station. Verify that the CameraMan Cable is supported so that the camera does not drag the cable as it moves. If the camera drags the cable, then system performance may be compromised. RS-232 connection to PC or :
other control device Connecting a Keypad/Controller The Tracking System Keypad can be hard-wired to the Main Docking Station using a CameraMan Keypad Cable (provided separately). 1. Connect one end of the cable to the RJ-11 type jack located in the battery compartment of the keypad. (Remove batteries) 2. Connect the other end of the cable to the RJ-11 type jack to the back of the Main Docking Station, labeled PVI COM. 3. The LED on the keypad should illuminate momentarily, indicating that the keypad is ready. Using cable other than supplied cable for the PVI COM port may cause damage. The Tracking System Keypad can be hard-wired up to a maximum distance of 250. Connecting to the RS-232 Port The Presenter Camera System provides for RS-232 communications using the DB-9 jack on the back of the Main Docking Station, labeled RS-232. This RS-232 port can be used to control the CameraMan camera from external devices, such as a PC or other vendor control system (.., AMX or Crestron). Connect to this port using a standard computer cable with a DB-9 connector. This port operates at 9600 Baud (19,200 with CameraMan SHOT Director), No Parity, and software hand-shaking using CameraMan High Reliability or Basic protocols (only High Reliability with SHOT Director). The LED located above the RS-232 port indicates communication activity. PROTOCOL/Baud Rate Configuration Switches Verify which protocol is being used by checking the PROTOCOL switch
(switch bank B- switch 1) on the back of the CameraMan camera, and which Baud rate
(9600 or 19,200) is needed by checking switch bank A-7. 109 For more information on setting the PROTOCOL on your CameraMan camera, see the aed {nstallation and Operations Manual that came with the camera. Page 7 2001 ParkerVision, Inc. + Meet Your 3-CCD Presenter Camera System i) f Tracking Ring Power Pack Assembly mer) Uf 7 Now you're ready to assemble the Tracking Ring Package and learn how to wear it properly to ensure that your CameraMan Y camera follows you around the room. Tracking Ring Power Pack Assembly Using the Power Pack Pouch, attach the Tracking Power Pack directly to your clothing by clipping it to your waistline or skirt, or to the Tracking Ring Power Pack Belt. The Tracking Power Pack must be worn so the antenna hangs loosely. Do not place the Power Pack in your pocket. This interferes with the RF signal and may affect the audio and tracking capability. Tracking Ring Sensors 1. Identify the sensors:
Front Sensor: equipped with a built-in microphone and tracking sensor. It is identified by the main connector to the Power Pack. Back Sensor: equipped with the built-in tracking sensor only. 2. Slip the Tracking Ring around your neck. 3. Clip the Tracking Ring strap closed to form a complete circle around your neck. 4. Verify that the Front Sensor is lying flat and centered just above chest level, and the Back Sensor is lying flat on the back of your collar. 5. Plug the main connector into the port on the top of the Tracking Ring Power Pack. The Front and Back Sensors require a direct line-of-sight link with the camera. The presenter must exercise caution to ensure no clothing or hair covers either Sensor. About the sensors You should understand how the autoTRACK Tracking Sensors work to obtain the maximum performance levels. The autoTRACK mode is an exclusive ParkerVision feature that enables the subject wearing the Tracking Ring Package to be tracked automatically by the camera. Since the Tracking Sensors require a direct line-of-sight link with the camera, the subject must exercise caution to ensure no clothing or hair covers the Sensors. This ensures constant communication with the CameraMan camera. The Front Sensor should be lying flat and centered on the body, just above chest level. The Back Sensor should lie flat against the back of the collar or neck. When a presenter turns around to point to a flipchart, for example, the Back Sensor continues to receive the infrared tracking signal from the camera. With the proper positioning of the sensors, the CameraMan camera provides 360 of coverage for the presenter wearing the Tracking Ring. Page 8 antenna should hang loosely out of hole in pouch. Ensure that the sensors lie flat on the front and back Ensure that no hair or article of clothing covers the Tracking Sensors Front Sensor WA CameraMan 3.CCD Presenter Camera System Installation and Operations Manual 2001 ParkerVision, Inc. my "

Once the subject enters the field-of-view, the camera moves to lock onto line-of-sight tracking, If the subject becomes obscured from its line-of-sight, then the camera stops tracking and returns to the HOME position (see page 21). However, momentary breaks (@.g., someone walking through the line-of-sight) has minimal effects to the tracking performance. re ee cy Te a Tere PARKERVISION Pee,

+ Meet Your 3-CCD Presenter Camera System Page 15 7 Using autoTRACK Views I) ) One of the keys to your Presenter Camera System is its ability to not only track you around the room, but memorize various views and presets. These help you to make more effective and dynamic presentations. autoTRACK Views Overview You can choose from four autoTRACK Views to engage the autoTRACK mode. These. Views can be stored and recalled from the Tracking System Keypad by pressing one of the autoTRACK View buttons. ais. rd PRESETS For example, when you make a presentation, you can change from a Close head shot with the TIGHT autoTRACK View button, to emphasize facial expressions, to a full body shot by pressing the WIDE autoTRACK View button. Presenters can also share the video screen with a flipchart or other key presentation areas with the LEFT or RIGHT autoTRACK View buttons. Each autoTRACK View stores and recalls a ZOOM perspective with an IMAGE and focus setting. Changes in the Subject Position within the video frame also can be Stored. These functions enable the subject to fine-tune their position in each of the autoTRACK Views. For example, you may want to Zoom in slightly closer on the WIDE autoTRACK View or adjust your position in the video frame more to the left or right. This provides you with the flexibility to customize each autoTRACK View to suit your needs.
