Product Overview

The Polycom EagleEye Director II camera is a dynamic locating technology that identifies participants
within the viewing range of the system. It automatically pans, tilts, and zooms the camera, frames the
speaker, and sends a framed image to the connected system or device. The EagleEye Director II camera
acts as a director of a video production, and uses sophisticated Polycom-developed technology. The
camera is a dual-camera solution that uses EagleEye IV 12x cameras with 1080p resolution.
Initially, one camera captures the current view, while the other camera uses microphones to voice-track
the next target. The camera frames the speaker prior to displaying the video so that call participants do
not see the pan/tilt/zoom of the cameras. If two persons speak alternately, one camera tracks the first
speaker, while the other camera tracks the second speaker.

You can use the camera as a USB camera in the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) mode, connect to a
RealPresence Group Series system in the Group Series mode, or let the camera automatically detect a
connection.
To provide different perspectives and camera angles, and to improve communication in conference calls,
you can cascade two EagleEye Director II cameras in the same room. The camera supports three
different placement scenarios for cascading in medium to large conference rooms.
