PARAMETERS
SETTING
Setting Process
Preset 0: It is a position that can be
configured to have the camera move to once
tracked object gets lost, recommended to set
at a full view image of the lecturing area. See
basic parameter settings for details.
Preset 1: Preset 1 is the position where
tracking starts, preferred to be set at Podium;
to configure it, move the camera’s
Pan/Tilt/Zoom to put the lecturer in the
appropriate size and position in the image,
then set it as preset 1. In some other cases,
the preset 1 is also useful: after camera
finishes calibration, it will sit at preset 1; once
tracking object gets lost, the camera can be
configured to move to preset 1; when the
camera starts auto zooming, its zooming
times is also based on preset 1’s zooming
times.
Preset 2: the position of BLS to determine the
P/T/Z level of the LTC .
Tracking Setting

12
Basic
The factory default setting of LTC is 1
(address), 9600bps, VISCA protocol,
1080P25 for tracking camera and full-view
camera.
Position Calibration: adjust the lecturer’s
position in the video when he/she is not in the
center.
Warning
The position has been adjusted to
the best value before leaving the
factory, do not change it until it is
necessary.
Adjust Head Height
User can adjust the head height in the view.
Debug
Enable and disable the rectangles of head
tracking of tracking camera and motion
detection of full-view camera.
Zone Set
Recommended to set the platform or podium as
priority zone, the camera will detect object from
this zone to start tracking accordingly. Set other
interference sources (like projector, digital
whiteboard, TV screen and etc) near the
platform or podium as blocking zones so the
camera will not track these sources. The
blocking zones must be inside the priority zone,
otherwise, there will be problem in blocking.
The camera’s tracking range can cover the
whole classroom, so the platform zone is
defined as a priority tracking zone.
Usually set the top edge of the blackboard as
the top boundary of the platform zone (at least
higher than the lecturer's head), and the bottom
boundary is higher than the students' head.
Blocking zones: There are 8 blocking zones
shown in green rectangle, they can be
configured independently. The moving
objects inside the blocking zones of the
full-view camera will not be detected and
tracked while the tracking camera still tracks
the lecturer head.
