Positioning The Polycom Eagleeye Director - Polycom RealPresence Group 550 Administrator's Manual

Administrator's Guide for the Polycom RealPresence Group Series

Positioning the Polycom EagleEye Director

The Polycom EagleEye Director is an automatic HD tracking system that works with RealPresence Group
systems. Refer to Polycom EagleEye Director
positioning system.
Follow these guidelines when you use the EagleEye Director with your RealPresence Group system:
● Avoid setting the Polycom EagleEye Director in the corner of a room. The EagleEye Director should
be at least 12 inches away from all of the walls.
● Make sure the EagleEye Director is on a level surface or mounting bracket.
● The camera's viewing angle is approximately 9 degrees above and 30 degrees below its direct line
of sight.

● To ensure optimal performance of the Polycom EagleEye Director facial recognition feature, follow
these suggestions:
 Provide ample lighting on faces of participants. This allows the system to correctly frame faces,
using the eyes, noses, and mouths as guidelines.
 Allow only minimal backlighting.
● To ensure the best view from the Polycom EagleEye Director voice-tracking feature, follow these
suggestions:
 Make sure ambient room noise is quiet enough to allow the system to locate the participant who
is speaking.
 Be sure to set up the audio connection from the RealPresence Group system to the EagleEye
Director, whether you connect it directly to the audio output of the RealPresence Group system
or to an audio processor managing the room audio.
 Set the EagleEye Director on top of a monitor. Ideally, place the camera between 5.5 and 7 feet
from the ground.
