autoTRACK Views
The five basic preset views enable you to change from a close head shot with the TIGHT
autoTRACK View button to emphasize facial expressions to a full body shot just by pressing the
WIDE autoTRACK View button. Presenters also can share the video screen with a flipchart or
other key presentation areas with the LEFT or RIGHT autoTRACK View buttons. The MID
autoTRACK View gives you a medium-range shot.
Each autoTRACK View stores and recalls changes in Window, Sensitivity, Subject Position,
Zoom, Focus, and Iris. This provides you with the flexibility to customize each autoTRACK View
to suit your needs.
To store an adjusted view in one of the five basic autoTRACK Views buttons:
1. Engage autoTRACK with the view button that is being changed.
2. Adjust the zoom, focus, iris, and gain to the desired new positions.
3. Adjust your Window, Subject position, and Sensitivity levels (if needed).
4. Press and hold the same autoTRACK view button for 3 seconds (listen for one beep).
5. Release the button.
After changing an autoTRACK View, the LCD Display will confirm that the data
was saved.
To recall one of the five basic autoTRACK Views:
1. Press and release the desired autoTRACK View button. The camera automatically
switches to that view and engages autoTRACK.
2. Look at the display, which should now show an icon representing the autoTRACK
view you’re currently using.
To deactivate tracking, simply press the autoTRACK button on top of the joystick or
recall a location preset.
Once you are in autoTRACK mode, the pan/tilt functions of the joystick are disabled.
You must press the autoTRACK button on top of the joystick to deactivate autoTRACK
and return pan/tilt functionality to the joystick.
Example of Five preset autoTRACK Views
If you have an autoTRACK-equipped CameraMan CONTROL Center, it is capable of storing, and recalling, up to 15 autoTRACK
Views. Five basic preset views: left, tight, mid, wide, and right are already programmed into the CONTROL Center. You can adjust
these or create new Custom Views (see page 19).
