1. System overview 1.1. System introduction A-TC01 AI Tracking Camera is a dual camera system that allows presenter tracking without any additional devices. Its dual system means that users can engage both cameras at the same time – wide angle shot from the lower camera, and presenter tracking shot from the upper PTZ camera.
Super wide dynamic exposure: It solves the issue that a tracking object dims under strong light such as projector. Networked control interface: Control information of all products is transmitted via network, and it is suitable for product layout for all scenarios. 1.3.
