Tracking
Tracking has the following options:
Feature Setting Comment
Tracking ON/ OFF To set the tracking on or off
(Tracking) Mode Presenter The camera always operates in Presenter Tracking Mode, which means that the camera will
track and follow one person (at a time) in front of the camera, keeping this persons upper
body and face always in the picture.
Best Practices:
1. Camera needs time to focus Do not run, or walk very fast before the camera and stop regularly as the camera needs time
to move and focus on the presenters upper body and face.
2. Max 15 meters Tracking will operate to a maximum distance of 15 meters from the camera. For larger
distances we recommend Avonic CamDirector.
3. Film face and upper body Be aware that the speakers upperbody and face should always be in the picture. If this is not
the case (for example when the speaker is standing behind a large object), the camera will
return to the Home position (or preset 200 see below).
4. Person (relatively) closest to the camera will
be tracked
If multiple presenters are in the picture, the camera will track the person who is (relatively)
closest to the camera. For example: when a small person is in front of the camera and a large
person in the background, it is possible that the person in the background will be tracked if this
person fills more "space" in the picture then the smaller person.
5. Avoid large objects and "busy
backgrounds"
Avoid large objects and "busy backgrounds" in the picture to ensure that the camera will
focus on the face of the speaker and track the speaker as well.
6. Focussing issues If you experience focussing issues, choose another autofocus strategy, or use Focus mode>
manual to configure the focus manually.
Preset 200
If the camera is unable to locate the person on stage, the Tracking feature can be programmed to return to
preset 200 instead of the camera's home position. This feature has the benefit to track the person before the
camera back, or to use an overview shot of the whole room or stage for example.
The camera will ONLY return to preset 200 if you have specifically set this preset. It will also use preset 200
upon startup instead of preset 0.
Follow instructions below to set preset 200:
1. Disable Tracking. Click OFF to set the Tracking feature off.
2. Type 200 at Preset.
3. Use the PTZ, zoom and focus buttons, or the remote control to set the position of the camera.
4. Click SET to set the Preset. Preset 200 is now created.
