Positioning the Cameras, Mats and IR Sensors (The Installation Example)
In general, the cameras should be mounted close together, or with the Vaddio Dual Thin Line Wall Mount, to
ensure that both cameras have the same field of view.
 Position the cameras on the Center Line (CL) of the room for best results.
 The cameras are stacked with the Reference camera on top and the Tracking camera on the lower shelf.
 In this Installation Example, The Reference camera is the EVI-D70 with the EZCamera cabling Shoe, and is
shipped with a wide-angle lens. Depending on the distance from the cameras to the main stage or
Presenter’s area, the wide-angle lens may not be necessary. The Tracking Camera is also an EVI-D70 with
EZCamera cabling shoe.
Avoid the lighting fixtures on the ceiling of the presentation environment. Bright lights in view
of the room lighting can close the auto-iris on the Reference camera, which can interfere the contrast of the image.
 For the Preset mode, this example uses four (4) triggers, 3 mats and one IR sensor. The mats are
positioned at a lectern position (position 1), a front mic position (position 2) and a screen position (position
3). The IR Sensor is positioned above the area near the whiteboard (position 4). These four (4) triggers will
be tied to hard camera presets that are independent of the automatic camera-tracking feature.
 When in automatic mode, the tracking camera is programmed to look at only a portion of the reference
cameras field of view. As the reference camera detects movement, the tracking camera pans to that area
and tracks that movement. In this example, when the presenter is not on a mat, the Tracking camera will
track them automatically as they walk between the mats or IR sensor.
Tracking is not recommended in a multi-
presenter environment.
Setting the First, Last and Multi-Step Modes
If this Installation Example was for a single presenter, then the mats and IR sensor may be set to First step
priority or Last step priority (no need for Multi-step).
If this example is for multiple presenters, (at least 2) then the mats and sensors may be set to either Last step or
Multi-step mode. Last step will allow the presenters to trigger presets in order of mat or sensor triggered. Multi-
step mode allows two presenters to trigger two (2) mats or IR sensors simultaneously and get a combination
preset, typically zoomed out to see both presenters. If Multi-step mode is enabled, the single mat or sensor
trigger operates as First step priority until two (2) triggers are registered, then Multi-step mode is activated.
Tracking Camera View
(subset of Reference Camera view)
Camera will follow the presenter movement
automatically. Auto tracks only within the
reference camera view.
Presets are triggered by mats or sensors and are
independent of the Reference Camera view.
