Chapter 5Microphone Settings
Please check the supported devices from Products- CamConnect Pro in Lumens website.
Before AI-Box1 installation, third-party microphone systems may require configuration in their software.
5.1 Sennheiser
5.2 Shure
When using TCC2 with CamConnect, please set and
configure the channels on the Sennheiser Control
Cockpit software first.
CamConnect is divided into 8 equal parts according to
Sennheiser’s horizontal angle of view. They correspond
to CamConnect Azimuth Angle 1 to 8.
If the forbidden area is enabled on the Sennheiser
Control Cockpit software, the corresponding position of
CamConnect will also be affected. Example: If the
forbidden area is set to 0°to 60°, the audio signal from
0°to 45°of CamConnect Array Azimuth 1 and 45°to
60°of Array Azimuth 2 will be ignored.
Suitable for large-area positioning when Shure Designer
Automatic coverage is On.
If more accurate positioning is required, it’s suggested
to disable Automatic coverage, adjust Gain
value/Position manually, reduce beamforming angle, to
achieve more accurate positioning

Once enabled, the microphone can receive signals, but it will not
trigger the camera to the preset position
