RealPresence Group Series systems.
Follow these guidelines when you use the EagleEye Director with your system:
• Do not connect more than one EagleEye Director to a single RealPresence Group Series system.
• Avoid setting the 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, as shown next.
• To ensure optimal performance of the 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 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 system to the EagleEye Director, whether you
connect it directly to the audio output of the 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.
