The AutoTrak 2.0 CPU, Camera and Software Operating Instructions
The AutoTrak 2.0 CPU is a 1-RU rack
mount computer that comes preloaded
with the AutoTrak 2.0 software. It is a
closed system based on a Linux operating
system.
One More Time: The AutoTrak 2.0 CPU is a computer running a Linux OS. Please do not remove power from the AutoTrak 2.0
CPU without first shutting the system down, as you would any other business computer. It is safe to remove power only after the
AutoTrak 2.0 CPU has been shut down. Consistently power cycling the CPU with the Rear Power Switch will eventually wreck the
AutoTrak 2.0 CPU and void the warranty.
The AutoTrak 2.0 CPU uses an Intel® Atom™ Dual Core Processor, Intel Graphics Media Accelerator,
1GB DDR2 Memory with six (6) USB ports, four (4) RS-232 Ports, two (2) PS/2 interfaces for
keyboard/mouse, 16GB Compact Flash and Video capture card. CPU specifications and cosmetics are
subject to change.
Getting Started:
1) Take the AutoTrak 2.0 CPU out of the box (typical) and start the system connection.
2) Connect two (2) of the 998-1001-232 control adapters (check part numbers carefully) to serial com
ports 1 and 2. The IR Reference camera will be connected to Port 1 and the Tracking Camera will be
connected to Port 2.
3) Connect the Keyboard and the Mouse to the AutoTrak 2.0 CPU using USB ports
4) Connect the computer monitor (not included) to the DE-15 (HD-15) on the AutoTrak 2.0 CPU.
5) Connect the AC Power Cord, but do not turn on the computer yet.
Mounting Cameras and Distance Limits:
The AutoTrak 2.0 systems are shipped with
either dual HD-18 cameras and mount or
an HD-18 and HD-20 cameras and mount
that can be mounted to a wall permanently
or mounted to an optional cart system. The
vertically stacked camera arrangement is
required for the AutoTrak 2.0 software to
track properly
.
Consider the placement of the cameras
carefully; the range of use is from 12’
(3.65m) and up to 40’ (12.2m). System
positioning is critical for proper and
consistent operation. If the distance from
the presenter to the wall mounting location
is greater than 40’ (12.2m), then an optional
portable cart system is recommended to
place the cameras in range of the IR
Lanyard, which is required for the tracking
system to acquire the IR LED light in order
to track the presenter.
Mount the cameras with the IR Reference Camera on the top shelf of the dual mount and mount the
Tracking Camera on the lower shelf of the dual mount.
Please mark and test all cables prior to termination. Please do not connect
these cameras to the Quick-Connect systems using the “guess/trial and error”
method. Plugging the EZ POWER/VIDEO Cat. 5 Cable into the wrong RJ-45
may cause damage to the camera system and void the warranty!
