Hawkeye Overview 3
Hawkeye Features
Once it has been installed, Hawkeye is always ready. Because it simply
photographs what you’ve written on your whiteboard, Hawkeye is also always
reliable.
When you press the Capture button on the Control Unit, the digital cameras in
the Camera Boom take color photographs of the notes you’ve made on your
whiteboard. Before the image is stored on the Control Unit, the photographs
taken by the three cameras are stitched together, the background is whitened,
the writing is sharpened and the color is improved. You can print the image,
or if you forget to write everything on the whiteboard before you capture
information, you can delete the image and capture a new one.
Hawkeye can be used with or without a network connection. If the Control
Unit is connected to a local area network, images are immediately available
upon capture from the IP (Internet Protocol) address or host name displayed
on the Control Unit. If the Control Unit isn’t connected to a network, the
images must be printed and distributed in hard copy.
Stand-Alone Control Unit
You don’t need a network connection or even a computer to use Hawkeye. All
you need is the Hawkeye Camera Boom and Control Unit, plus a printer. You
can capture, delete and print whiteboard notes all within the same room.
You can store approximately 20 images on a stand-alone Control Unit, but
you can’t save the images. Once you start a new session or exceed the
maximum number of images allowed, previously captured images will no
longer be available on the Control Unit. The images you capture on a stand-
alone Control Unit must be distributed in hard copy. In order to do that, you’ll
need to attach a printer to the Control Unit. For a list of supported printers,
refer to page 18.
Networked Control Unit
A Hawkeye Control Unit that has been connected to a network can do
everything a stand-alone Control Unit can do and more. If your Control Unit is
connected to a local area network, everyone in your organization with access
to the network can view, save, copy and print the captured images using a
Web browser.
