How to Connect the AutoTrak 2.0 to an AutoPresenter (skip this section if an AutoPresenter is not part of
the system):
1) Take the supplied 998-1001-232 Control Adapter and attach it to COM PORT 3 on the CPU.
2) Attach the 998-7200-232 Control Adapter to the RS-232 THRU port on the back of the AutoPresenter.
3) With a Cat 5e cable (not supplied) connect the two (2) control adapters list in steps 1 & 2 above.
4) A system shutdown and reboot will be required for the AutoTrak 2.0 to recognize the AutoPresenter.
For reference, the AutoPresenter port is identified on the Tuning/Setup screen.
To Set the Tracking Camera Presets in AutoTrak 2.0 to be activated by AutoPresenter:
1) In the AutoPresenter Menus, select the menu item “AutoTrak 2.0 Input” and select which input (1-6)
to which the AutoTrak 2.0 will be connected. This way up to six (6) trigger inputs, between 1 and 72,
can be dedicated to preset positions for the AutoTrak 2.0 Tracking Camera. These presets can be
incorporated into the system and use the Vaddio trigger devices such as PresenterPOD, StepVIEW
mats, AutoVIEW IR Sensors, MicVIEW push to talk mics or TouchVIEW RF buttons.
2) To set Tracking Camera presets, put the system in pause mode to get at the menus and click on the

3) As an example, if the AutoPresenter video input for the AutoTrak 2.0 is Input 6, the AutoTrak 2.0
preset is #1 which is triggered by input trigger #4 with a trigger device. Then anytime the presenter
trigger input #4, the AutoPresenter will switch to Input 6 and the AutoPresenter will communicate to
the AutoTrak 2.0 which will send the Tracking Camera to go to Preset #1.
