AutoTrak 2.0 System Overview
The AutoTrak 2.0 System is an IR tracking system that consists of an IR
lanyard attached to a rechargeable Lithium Ion Belt Pack that is worn by a
presenter or instructor. Within the lanyard’s cloth cover, there are fifteen
(15) 850nm wavelength IR LEDs on a flat flex circuit that emit IR light that
is tracked by a HD-18 PTZ IR Reference Camera with special IR filters.
The IR position is relayed to the AutoTrak 2.0 CPU which in turn controls
the HD-18 PTZ (or the HD-20 PTZ) Tracking Camera which follows the
presenter and keeps the presenter framed in the camera shot throughout
the presentation environment.
The AutoTrak 2.0 System is designed to integrate with the optional
EasyTalk AutoTrak 2.0 Wireless Audio System. The EasyTalk AutoTrak
2.0 Wireless Audio System includes a HD wireless receiver that receives
the HD wireless microphone audio transmitted from the AutoTrak 2.0 IR
Lanyard and Belt Pack. It also provides audio outputs for connection to
an audio amplifier/speaker system or a video conference system. It
includes a USB output that can directly connect to a PC USB port which
will provide connection of the microphone and room speaker audio for use
with Unified Communication clients such as Skype, Microsoft Lync,
Google+ and others.
There are two versions of AutoTrak 2.0:
 AutoTrak 2.0 Dual HD-18
999-7250-000 North America
999-7250-001 International
Includes: One (1) HD-18 PTZ IR Reference Camera and one (1)
HD-18 Tracking Camera
 AutoTrak 2.0 HD-18/HD-20
999-7260-000 North America
999-7260-001 International
Includes: One (1) HD-18 PTZ IR Reference Camera and one (1)
HD-20 PTZ Tracking Camera
The HD-18 and HD-20 cameras use the Vaddio Quick-Connect DVI/HDMI Interface to provide Cat-5e
cabling systems for ease of set up and installation. The system can be permanently installed or
configured as a cart system for portability and ease of positioning in the largest of lecture halls. Each
system includes a dual camera mount which can be wall mounted or mounted on top of the Vaddio Edge
series video carts.
The optimum operating range or the system (from the IR Lanyard to the IR Reference camera) is between
12’ (3.65m) and up to 40’ (12.2m). System positioning is critical for proper and consistent operation.
The AutoTrak 2.0 can be installed as a standalone system or can be used in conjunction with myriad
Vaddio Presenter controlled solutions including AutoPresenter™, PresenterPOD™, ControlVIEW XHD™,
TouchVIEW™, AutoVIEW™ IR, StepVIEW™ Mats, and MicVIEW™. As an added benefit, once the
AutoTrak 2.0 system is configured the Mouse, Keyboard and Monitor I/O devices can be removed from
the system to ensure the system isn’t subject to unauthorized modification.
The AutoTrak’s camera tracking has been improved and the new SmoothTrak™, AutoTilt™ and
SmoothTilt™ functions have been implemented. AutoTilt works to keep the presenter centrally framed in
the shot as they move side to side and now closer and further away from the camera too. SmoothTrak
provides for a much more natural set of camera movements as the presenter moves around the room.
SmoothTilt allows the camera to follow the presenter in multiple directions for concurrent pan and tilting of
the camera, which more closely resembles a professional production.
