How It Works
Elements of the tracking system:
IR source – The presenter wears an infrared signal source on a lan-
n
yard.
IR camera – Follows the lanyard and directs the video camera.
n
Video Camera (sold separately) – Follows the IR camera. Any
n
RoboSHOT camera may be used as the video component of the
RoboTRAK system.
Tips for Great Presentations
As the presenter, you can do these things to get the most out of the RoboTRAK presenter tracking system.
Wear the IR lanyard outside your clothing. The IR camera needs to "see" the IR emitters in the lanyard to
n
identify it when tracking starts.
Be sure the back of the lanyard is clearly visible, not tucked under your collar or hair. This allows the
n
IR camera to continue tracking you when you turn around.
If you are moving and the light on the IR camera starts blinking green, the IR camera has lost you. Be sure
n
the lanyard is visible over your clothing and hair.
Stay at least 12 feet (3.7 m) from the cameras. The video camera does not zoom as you move around the
n
room.
If you are co-presenting with another person, it is helpful for both of you to have lanyards. Ensure
n
smooth transitions by turning off your lanyard as your co-presenter turns on their own.
When you invite others to the front of the room, be sure they do not block the line of sight between the
n
IR camera and your lanyard.
Starting Your Presentation
Be sure the light on the IR camera is green, meaning the system is in tracking mode. Then press the button at the
center of the medallion to turn it on, and walk in front of the IR camera. The system starts tracking you
immediately.
