Configuring Automatic Camera Tracking

You can configure a VSX 7000e or VSX 8000 with a Polycom PowerCam Plus
to track to the speaker's voice or to camera presets. During a call, users can
press Auto on the remote control to toggle between Automatic Camera
Tracking, Automatic Camera Tracking to Presets, and Automatic Camera
Tracking Off.
When Automatic Camera Tracking to Presets is enabled and no one speaks for
30 seconds, the camera automatically moves to preset 0. When Automatic
Camera Tracking is enabled and no one speaks for 30 seconds, the camera
automatically moves to a position to include all of the people who have
spoken.
If the camera consistently moves too far in one direction when tracking is
enabled, follow the instructions on the Camera Calibration screen to calibrate
the camera for better tracking.
For more information about setting up the PowerCam Plus for automatic
camera tracking, refer to the section
Systems on page 2-14.
Configure these settings:
• Designate this as the Primary Camera, if
desired.
• Set Camera Direction to specify which way
the camera moves when you control it with
the remote control. (VSX 5000, VSX 6000,
VSX 7000, VSX 7000s, VSX 7000e,
VSX 8000)
1. Name the camera.
2. Select a camera icon.
3. If you used an RCA to mini-DIN adapter to
connect the camera cable, change the Video
Format to Composite. (VSX 5000,
VSX 7000, VSX 7000s, VSX 7000e,
VSX 8000)
Set the video quality (Motion for people video or
Sharpness for still images).
If it is a PTZ camera:
1. Set the RS-232 Mode to Sony PTZ camera
control.
2. Specify which camera is associated with this
port.
