ADENA Hack: How to track seated and moving targets simultaneously?

AREC developed multiple Auto-Tracking products relying on different technologies, including IR and microphone tracking. While the former is best at tracking single moving targets, the latter excels when you need to track multiple seating targets. The two technologies can be used together to achieve spectacular results. For example, you may be building a conference room and you need to track seated participants and the lead presenter, who may be at times seated and at times walking or presenting from a board. DS-4CU in this case will track any of the seated participants via integrated microphone systems, such as the recently integrated Televic Confidea, Shure MXA series, or other brands. You can then use CI-T21H or CI-T10 to track the lead presenter when they start moving. And thanks to the introduction of ITT technology (click here if you don’t know about it), you can track another attendee the same way with another IR tracking camera. Thus, you can build this kind of conference room with just three devices - a DS-4CU, a CI-T21H/T-10 camera, and a microphone system. You can also add more cameras if you wish - DS-4CU supports up to 4 network cameras that work with either ONVIF profile S or VISCA over IP.

ADENA Hack: How to configure CI-series cameras in the Tracking Config Tool

All CI-series tracking cameras rely on the Tracking Config Tool for tracking configuration. Using this tool, you are able to change tracking modes, tracking directions, auto-zoom presets, tracking and zoom offsets, set up custom zoom levels for tracking, and also update tracking firmware. In order to configure these tracking settings of your camera, you need to use the provided USB-3.5mm cable. Connect the USB to your computer and the 3.5mm end to the camera’s 3.5mm jack - for CI-T21H, this will be on the top of the camera, whereas for CI-T10 it will be on its back. After the cable is connected, open the Tracking Config Tool. On the left side from the list of Ports, select the COM port called “Prolific”*, then press “Connect”. All tracking settings will be enabled to you and you will be able to change them how you see fit. After you make the necessary changes, press “Apply” and disconnect the tool. Using the Tracking Config Tool is simple and fast, and allows you to make the tracking ideal for your location.
