Using autoFIND and Tracking Freeze
Tracking Freeze
While in the autoTRACK mode, the presenter can stop or freeze the camera’s movement by
pressing TRACKING FREEZE.
By pressing TRACKING FREEZE, the autoTRACK mode will disengage.
You may want to use this feature when making a presentation in front of a flipchart. You may
be offset to the right or left autoTRACK View and be making notes on the flipchart.
Now you can press TRACKING FREEZE and walk away from the flipchart while still speaking.
This enables the camera to freeze and lock on the flipchart so that people attending the
videoconference or viewing the videotape can continue to study it while you are no longer in
the video frame.
To reactivate the autoTRACK mode, simply press any of the four autoTRACK View
buttons. This engages the autoFIND mode. When you are within the field-of-view,
CameraMan locks onto line-of-sight tracking in the view selected.

Once CameraMan reaches HOME, it stops if
you are not in the field-of-view. Once you enter
the field-of-view...
...the camera moves to lock onto line-of-sight
tracking.
When you press an autoTRACK View button to enable autoTRACK, the
CameraMan automatically begins panning toward HOME (see page 21), looking for
the Tracking Ring Sensor. This process is known as autoFIND.
If you are not in the autoTRACK mode and are out of the field-of-view, you must press
any of the four autoTRACK View buttons to activate autoFIND. The autoTRACK
LED on the CameraMan’s display panel begins blinking until the camera moves to lock
onto line-of-sight tracking. The LED remains illuminated to indicate that you are in the
camera’s line-of-sight.
autoTRACK Mode Status LED:
• Is ON when locked onto line-of-sight tracking
• Blinks during autoFIND.
If you want to walk away from the flipchart
and lock the camera into position...
...press TRACKING FREEZE, which will stop the
camera’s movement until you re-activate the
autoTRACK function.
These Presenter Camera System features help you take control of your presentations.
