Precautions for
Preventing Access to
the Unit by an
Unintended Third Party
The unit may be accessible by an unintended third party
on the network, depending on the usage environment.
Changing the user name and password of the
administrator from the default settings is highly
recommended for security reasons. For details about
changing the user name and password, see “Security”
(page 14).
If the unit is accessed by an unintended third party, there
may be undesired effects, such as operations or settings
that may interfere with operation of the unit.
The unit can be fraudulently accessed in a network
environment where a device is connected or connectable
to the network without the administrator’s permission,
or a computer or other network device connected to the
network can be used without any permission. Connect to
these environments at your own risk. Also, use the SSL
function, Referer check function, or other security
measures to prevent unauthorized access to the unit. For
details about functions, see “Security” (page 14).
The China model does not support the SSL function.
Features
The REA-C1000 is a device that analyzes video that is
input from a camera, computer, or other device, and
automatically generates video content in real-time that
previously would have required significant time and
human resources, and been expensive to create.
REA-C1000 configuration and application operation
can be controlled intuitively using a simple screen
displayed in a web browser on a computer connected to
the network.
The unit features the following applications.
Handwriting Extraction
This application identifies and extracts text and
diagrams drawn on a whiteboard or blackboard in real-
time, and renders them so that they appear in front of the
speaker.
PTZ Auto Tracking
This application tracks a moving target, and
automatically moves a remote camera to maintain
optimum composition while shooting.
For details about supported remote cameras, contact
your distributor.
Close-up by Gesture
This application interprets specific gestures of people in
the video, and automatically zooms in on the
corresponding area. You can display two images (a wide
angle view and zoomed view) in real-time.
Real-time Cropping
This application simultaneously displays a wide-angle
view and a cropped view, from a single camera, by
cutting out a desired portion of the whole view in real-
time.
