Product Description
The CameraMan Personal Locator Camera System is a robotic camera system with distributed
preset control used in videoconferencing applications. The Personal Locator Camera System
consists of the CameraMan Camera, 3 wireless RF Personal Locator Keypads, and 1 wireless RF
Chairperson Locator Keypad.
Note: If you have purchased this as an upgrade, it will include all components except
the camera.
This system gives each videoconferencing participant the power to be instantly identified by the
camera with the touch of a MY TURN button on individually controlled keypads. When the MY
TURN button is pressed, the CameraMan automatically zooms, pans and tilts to focus on that
participant. The Locator Keypads also provide each videoconference participant with camera
control capabilities, eliminating the need for a single camera operator. The system can
accommodate up to 99 Personal Locator Keypads.
The 1-CCD Personal Locator Systems are also equipped with SHAREVIEW, a unique technology
that allows two participants to share the camera view. Once activated, the camera will
automatically calculate the proper view for the active participants.
Your Personal Locator Camera System should
include these components:
• One 1-CCD or 3-CCD Chairperson Locator Keypad
• Three 1-CCD or 3-CCD Personal Locator Keypads
• One Personal Locator Camera System Operations Manual
• One Personal Locator Quick Reference Card
