Audio Autotracking 
 
By pressing the AUTO key on the remote control the Auto Tracking function is activated, and the system automatically focuses 
on and tracks the talking person. 
Activation of this function is indicated via the 
 symbol on the status bar. 
 
The system used for tracking is based upon four omni-directional microphones, through which it is possible to determine the 
origin of the voice and the distance of the talking person so optimizing camera orientation and zoom. Furthermore, voices can 
be distinguished from non-vocal sounds (doors, footsteps, moving chairs, etc.), thereby avoiding any confusion resulting from 
such sounds. 
If a speaker moves, the camera follows the person continuously, optimizing the zoom. Very small movements are not 
taken into account. 
The system is also able to recognise two persons alternately speaking—an intermediate position will be found and 
the camera will zoom to frame both speakers.  
 
The use of the Autotracking function is not recommended for crowded conferences where a lot of background noise is present. 
 
Video camera presets 
The Preset function allows the user to save camera positions (up to a maximum of 122 positions) in order to enable quick 
selection of a certain camera frame. 
 
To save a preset:  
1)  Set the desired camera position and adjust the video zoom. 
2)  Press the MEMO key on the remote control and choose a memory location (maximum two characters) 
Note 
Digits and characters that may be used are: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,*,#. 
The character * corresponds to 10; the character # corresponds to 11. 
Examples: 
Location 110 = press keys  
**  
 10 x 10
1
+10 = 110 
Location 120 = press keys  
#*  
 11 x 10
1
+10 = 120 
 
To recall a memory location: 
1.  Press the “SEL” remote control key 
2.  Using the remote control key, enter the memory location number corresponding to the desired preset. 
 
Note 
The preset includes both the selected camera and its position, so recalling a preset can change the current video camera. 
 Besides, from remote, the protocol of control of the camera allows to recall only the first 16 memorized preset.
