Important Information
Important Information
Please read this manual carefully before setting up and using Hawkeye
480C. With proper care, your Hawkeye system should provide years of
trouble-free service.
About this Guide
This guide explains how to install and use the Hawkeye Camera Boom with a
Control Unit. It doesn’t include information about Hawkeye CAM, which is a
different product that consists of a Camera Boom connected directly to a
computer. For information about that product and the Hawkeye software used
with it, refer to the Hawkeye CAM Installation and User’s Guide.
Other Warnings and Safety Precautions
For operating safety and to avoid damage to your Hawkeye 480C, read
carefully and observe the following instructions.
1 Avoid installing Hawkeye 480C near radio transmitting devices. The
electromagnetic radiation created by radio transmitting devices may
reduce the quality of images captured by Hawkeye 480C.
2 Avoid setting up and using Hawkeye 480C in an area with excessive
levels of dust, humidity or cigarette smoke.
3 When the Hawkeye 480C installation is complete, make sure all of the
security hex screws have been tightened. There are two security hex
screws at the bottom corners of the Control Unit and one in the
Camera Boom base. These screws ensure the equipment can’t be
accidentally knocked free from the wall brackets. The screws also help
prevent unauthorized people from taking the equipment.
WARNING
The Hawkeye Camera Boom contains precisely aligned camera units.
Handle it with care. Do not open the Camera Boom casing.
Important Information
4Avoid exposing Hawkeye 480C to extreme heat or cold. Hawkeye
480C’s operating temperature range is from 41°
°°
°F to 95°
°°
°F (5°
°°
°C to
35°
°°
°C) with up to 90% humidity non-condensing. The Hawkeye 480C
shipping and storage range is from -40°
°°
°F to 95°
°°
°F (-40°
°°
°C to 35°
°°
°C) with
up to 95% humidity non-condensing.
5 Don’t block the vents located at the top and bottom of the Control Unit.
In order for the Control Unit to maintain its operating temperature
these vents must remain exposed.
6 Disconnect the power cord from the Hawkeye Control Unit during
electrical storms.
7 This product is equipped with a three-wire grounding-type plug. This
plug will only fit into a grounding-type power outlet. If you’re unable to
insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your
obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-
type plug.
8 Handle the power cable carefully and avoid excessive bending. The
power cable should be routed so that it’s unlikely to be walked on or
pinched by items placed upon or against it. Do not attempt to modify
the power cable.
Cleaning the Hawkeye Control Unit
Clean the Control Unit with a soft cloth and mild detergent cleanser.
Never use solvents or an abrasive cleanser, as these may damage the
surface of the Control Unit.

Hawkeye Overview 1
Hawkeye Overview
Hawkeye 480C is an optical whiteboard capture system that works with your
existing whiteboard and markers. It enables you to capture, print and distribute
whiteboard notes as full-color, digitally enhanced images. You can even use
Hawkeye to capture, print and distribute flip chart pages that have been taped
onto a whiteboard.
Basically, Hawkeye consists of two parts: a fixed Camera Boom and a Control
Unit.

Camera Boom
The Camera Boom can be mounted above any standard whiteboard. It includes
three digital cameras, each with fixed focus and auto exposure. The three
cameras together are capable of capturing an image from a whiteboard as large
as 4 x 8 ft (1.22 x 2.44 m). Each camera is capable of a resolution of 480 x 640
pixels. The effective resolution of the processed image from a 4 x 8 ft (1.22 x
2.44 m) whiteboard after cropping and stitching is 480 x 960 pixels.
2Hawkeye Overview
Control Unit
The Control Unit includes an embedded processor with a built-in Web
server, as well as firmware for capturing and enhancing images. It stores
approximately 20 captured images at a time. A small screen on the
Control Unit displays easy-to-follow instructions. Buttons on the Control
Unit enable you to capture, print and organize your whiteboard images.
You can connect the Control Unit to a network, thereby making your
whiteboard notes available to everyone else in your organization who is
connected to the network and has a Web browser. You can attach a
printer to the Control Unit. You can even use Hawkeye with multiple
whiteboards. As many as four Camera Booms can be controlled by one
Control Unit.

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.
4Installing the Camera Boom and Control Unit
Installing the Camera Boom and
Control Unit
If you have one whiteboard in the room, you only need one Camera Boom.
However, if you have more than one whiteboard, you may want to take
advantage of Hawkeye’s ability to control multiple Camera Booms from a
single Control Unit. You can use one Control Unit to capture the notes from
up to four different whiteboards by mounting a Camera Boom above each
one. The installation procedure varies, depending on whether you plan to
use one Camera Boom or several.
NOTE: After you finish installing one or more Camera Booms and a
Control Unit, you’ll need to configure and calibrate the Control Unit before
you can begin capturing whiteboard notes. For more information about
configuring and calibrating the Control Unit, refer to pages 18 through 44.
Single Camera Boom with a Control Unit
To install a Camera Boom and Control Unit that captures the notes from
one whiteboard, you’ll need to:
1 Mount the Camera Boom on the wall.
2 Mount the Control Unit on the wall.
3 Connect the Camera Boom to the Control Unit.
Multiple Camera Booms with a Control Unit
The procedure for installing a Hawkeye 480C system that captures notes
from multiple whiteboards is similar to the procedure for installing a system
that captures notes from a single whiteboard. However, when there are
multiple whiteboards, you’ll need to install a Camera Boom above each
whiteboard, connect the Camera Booms to each other in a daisy chain
pattern and connect the last Camera Boom in the chain to the Control Unit.
NOTE: When you order additional Camera Booms for your Hawkeye 480C,
you may receive the Hawkeye CAM Installation and User’s Guide. However,
the information included in that manual does not apply to your Hawkeye 480C.
