IR Camera

nSimple configuration and administration using the Vaddio web interface

nAdjust the system's tracking behavior to match the presenter's style

nOperational range of 12 to 50 ft (3.7 to 15.2 m), any height from 6 to 15 ft. (1.8 to 4.6 m)

nUp to 40 hours of battery power; 25 hours typical

nRecessed switch for full power-down – Conserve battery life during storage; no risk of accidental

actuation

Unpacking the System

Make sure you received all the items you expected.

Vaddio recommends purchasing a second lanyard as a spare or for smooth transitions between multiple

presenters.

Note

In addition to the items listed here, you will need a video camera. Any RoboSHOT series camera can be

used.

If remote viewing is desired, you must use a video camera that is capable of streaming. These include

RoboSHOT 10 USB, RoboSHOT HD-SDI, and RoboSHOT 20 UHD cameras.

Caution

Always support the camera's base when picking it up. Lifting the camera by its head or mounting

arm will damage it.

Note

Copy the default hostname from the label on the bottom of the camera, and keep this information in a place

where it will be available to anyone who needs to work with the camera's web interface. This information is

required to access the camera for initial configuration, or after a factory reset.

A Quick Look at the RoboTRAK System

This section covers the physical features of the RoboTRAK system:

nIR camera

nTracking Lanyard

The RoboTRAK system requires a video camera as well. You can use any Vaddio RoboSHOT camera as

the video component of the system.

Note

If remote viewing is desired, you must use a video camera that is capable of streaming. These include

RoboSHOT 10 USB, RoboSHOT HD-SDI, and RoboSHOT 20 UHD cameras.

Refer to the documentation for your RoboSHOT camera for detailed information on connections and

camera control.

Front of the IR Camera

nCamera assembly – based on the same reliable hardware as our latest generation of video cameras.

nReflective lens – reduces interference from spurious IR sources. The reflective lens also provides a

simple visual cue that it's not a standard video camera.

nIndicator light – shows the IRcamera's current status.

Status Indications

In normal use, the RoboTRAK IR camera's status light will provide more useful information than the video

camera's indicator light.

nGreen – Tracking or waiting at the home position

nBlue – Not in tracking mode (may be at a video camera preset position)

nBlinking green – Searching for the lanyard

nBlinking blue – Not paired or not in contact with the video camera

nPurple – In standby mode or booting

nBlinking yellow – Executing a pan-tilt reset

nYellow – Updating firmware

Integrator's Complete Guide to the RoboTRAK Presenter Tracking System

Connectors

n12 VDC, 3.0 Amp power connector – Connect only the PoE splitter shipped with the camera.

nNetwork/PoE+ – 10/100 Ethernet/PoE+ port allows the RoboTRAK™ IR camera to control the video

camera, and provides access to the web interface.

nDIP switches – Factory use only.

Lanyard

Vaddio recommends purchasing a second lanyard as a spare or for smooth transitions between multiple

presenters.

Medallion – Houses charging and control circuitry, switches to standby (low-power)mode when the IR

camera switches to standby.

nButton – On/off switch for IR sources

nIlluminated ring – Visual status indicator directs light toward the wearer,

not the audience

nBattery – Rechargeable Li-ion battery; up to 25 hour battery life, roughly 4

hour charging time

nUSB micro-B charging port – Connect the supplied battery charger

nRecessed power switch – Allows you to turn off the lanyard completely to

extend battery life

Ribbon – Holds the medallion and contains the IRsources.

nStrand of IR LEDs – Provide a characteristic image pattern that the

camera identifies and tracks

nSafety clasp – Automatically releases under tension

Caution

Do not pinch, crease, or stretch the lanyard ribbon. Do not pull the lanyard ribbon to release the clasp. Any

of these will damage the circuitry in the ribbon.
