ELTEK Distribution presents the innovative solution from Vaddio: a single automated system ensures the complex recording of every course, class or presentation. All of this is possible without human input required in order to change the camera position and by using easy means for content sharing from laptop, document camera or from another video camera.

The speaker now has the ability to move freely and to focus solely on the presentation, due to the intelligent tracking system capable to permanently ensure the proper framing of the speaker into the captured image.

Some of the characteristics of this automated system designed by the American manufacturer are:

• Possibility for the speaker (teacher, student, pupil) to always fit in the frame regardless of their position toward the camera at a certain moment
• One microphone availability for each person in the auditorium or classroom. Any person in the room can request to speak by a simple push of a button, which automatically leads to adjusting the frame for the new speaker
• Playback within the current recording of images received from a document camera, a laptop or from another video camera etc. Switching between these sources can be done by a simple push of a button
• The possibility to minimize the speaker image within the recording window during the presentation via Picture-in-Picture option.

The solution was presented by the manufacturer at the prestigious NAB Show Expo, which took place in April 2010 in Las Vegas. You may find a very suggestive video presentation of this application and of other Vaddio innovative solutions here.

The system consists in:

• TrackVIEW HD - tracking system consisting of a controller and of two HD video cameras. One camera tracks the speaker movement and sends the information to a controller. The latter commands the moving of the second camera and the framing of the speaker
• AutoPresenter - Switcher and Video Controller
• PresenterPod - Cntrol system
• MicVIEW - Microphone Switcher/Mixer
• WallVIEW HD-18 - HD video camera
• CeilingVIEW HD - HD video camera for the ceiling
   
• Push-to-talk Microphone
