to connect and configure it.

Features

on you

nSwitch between tracking and preset positions

nCamera sold separately – use with the RoboSHOT™ camera of your choice

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 12.2 m), any height from 6 to 15 ft. (1.8 to 4.6 m)

IRSource Lanyard

nNo belt pack – comfortable, highly wearable design that does not interfere with clothing

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.

Installation Guide for the RoboTRAK Presenter Tracking System

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.

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.

Installation Guide for the RoboTRAK Presenter Tracking System

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.

Installation Guide for the RoboTRAK Presenter Tracking System

Before You Start

Ensure that the room is suitable for the RoboTRAK system, and that all the required elements of the

installation are present. This section covers the requirements for a successful installation.

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.

Network Requirements

nNetwork connections for both cameras

nHostname resolution

Additional Equipment

Side-by-side displays – The team or individual tuning the RoboTRAK system will need to see the IP stream

from the IR camera and the live video feed from the video camera at the same time. The display for the

IRcamera is not needed after the system is configured and fine-tuned.

Tablet or other device with wifi access – If you do not have an assistant for the tuning process, you will

need to be able to work with the RoboTRAK IR camera's web interface while moving around the room.

Lighting and IR

Note

The RoboTRAK IR camera works best in an IR-sterile environment. Natural lighting and halogen lamps

produce enough stray IR to overwhelm the system.

nIf the room has windows, blackout curtains or blinds are required - standard

window blinds admit enough IR at the edges to keep the IR camera from

identifying the tracking lanyard.

nFluorescent or LED lighting is preferred.
