Tracking Ring Power Pack Assembly
Usrng the Power Pack Pouch, attach the Tracking Power Pack directly to your clothing by
cloning ltto your warstlne orsklrt or to the Tracking Ring Power Pack Belt.
The Tracking Power Pad< must be worn so the antenna hangs looseh Do not
place the Power Pack in your pocket. This interleres With the RF Signal and may
affect the audio and tracking capabilny

4 Verity that the Front Sensor is lying tlat and centered lust above chest level, and the
Back Seroor is lying flat on the badk of your collar.
5 Plug the rllain connector into the port on the top of the Tracking Ring Power Pack
The Front and Back Sensors require a direct Iineofrsrght link With the camera The
presenter must exercise caution to ensure no ctothing or hair covers either Sensor
About the sensors
You should understand how the autoTlTACK Tracking Sensors work to obtain the maleurn
pedoimance levels. The autoTltACK mode is an exclusive ParkerVislon feature that enables
the subyect wearing the Tracking Ring Package to be traded automatically by the camera
Since the Tracking Sensois require a direct iineot-sight link wth the camera, the
subject must exercise caution to ensure no clothing or hair covers the Sensors This
ensures constant communication with the Cameralvlan camera
The Front Sensor should be lying hat and centered on the body, yust above chest level The
Back Sensor should he flat against the back ol the collar or neck When a presenter turns
around to poirt to a llipchart, for example, the Back Sensor continues to receive the infrared
tracking signal trom the camera
With the proper postloning oi the senson, the CameraMan camera provides 360° 01

t? §V&P‘I thew
W ’//
You can control the (ameraMan camera's panning motion with ehher the PAN/TILT anows on the bottom, or, when using A W
autoTItACK, the SUBJECT POSITION arrows on the top ot your Tracking System Keypad. Understanding how the camera moves
will help you stay in control of your presentations.
n Moditkation of the tolloiving features is not reourred for system operation, but they
are availabie it needed
For information on configuring your CameraMan camera, refer to the Installation
and Operations Manual that mine With the camera
Understanding the Panning Motion
The PAN/TILT and SUBJECT POSITION arrows on your Tracking System Keypad are designed
to help you maneuver the camera both in and out 01 autoTRACK mode
The default setting, shown in Example i, is designed to operate as if you are facing the
Cameraivian camera. Some examples oi applications that would benefit from the defauit
settings are,
- Distance Learning where you are the instructor,
- Presentations where you are the presenter and the audience members are watching
you on a monitor
- Videoconferences where the you are an onscreen participant
- Any other appiication where you, the keypad controlier, need to be on camera
However, there are applications in which you do not need to face the camera (Example 2)
so the defauit setting Will not work. In these cases, you can stand BEHIND the camera But
when you want the camera to move right the pictu re moves left These applications require
that you reorient the FAN arrows. Some examples of appiicatioiis that might benetit from
this reorientation are
- Presentations where you are not the presenter, but are controlling the camera's
movement
~ Videoconleiences where you are a moderator, but not an onscreen participant
~ Applications where you are in a control room controlling the camera
. Any other application where the keypad controller does not need to be on camera
ReOrienting the Pan Arrows
To reorient (reverse) the default setting of the PAN arrows on your Camera Control Keypad,
use the tollowrng procedure:
1 Press the TRACKING FREHE and SETUP buttons simultaneously
2 The keypad will beep alter about two seconds
3, Release the protons.
