Introducing the Polycom PowerCam Presenter
The Polycom PowerCam Presenter is an automatic camera tracking device. Its primary components include a camera, a locator pack assembly, a controller, and a remote control. When you have set up the PowerCam Presenter and are ready to use the automatic camera tracking functionality, simply attach the locator pack assembly to yourself using the provided belt clip or lanyard. You can then freely move about the room, and the camera will automatically point at you. Because you no longer need to confine yourself to a single spot in the room or worry about adjusting the camera manually, youll be free to focus on the more important tasks at hand whether thats teaching a class, making a presentation, or delivering a speech.
The PowerCam Presenter also enables you to manually adjust the camera. You can pan, tilt, and zoom the camera as well as set up one or two camera preset positions.

System Components

These standard components come with the Polycom PowerCam Presenter:

Camera cables

In a configuration where you are not using a VSX video conferencing system, the camera cable connects to the camera. In a configuration where you are using a VSX video conferencing system, one camera cable connects to the camera and the other connects to the VSX system. In either configuration, you can use the 10-foot or 100-foot cable interchangeably. In a configuration where you are using a VSX video conferencing system, the camera adapter cable enables you to connect both the camera and the VSX system to the controller. The camera power supply and power cable connect power to the camera.

Camera adapter cable

Camera power supply and power cable

Controller power cable

The controller power cable connects power to the controller. Your PowerCam Presenter shipping boxes contain power cables for various countries; use the cable thats appropriate for your country. The LAN cable enables you to connect your PowerCam Presenter to an IP network. The LAN connection is not for making video calls.

LAN cable

Name S-video cables
Description In a configuration where you are not using a VSX video conferencing system, the 25-foot S-video cable enables you to connect optional S-video devices, such as a VCR, DVD recorder, or a video conferencing system other than a Polycom VSX system. In a configuration where you are using a VSX video conferencing system, the 25-foot S-video cable enables you to connect the camera to the controller. In either configuration, the 8-foot S-video cable enables you to connect a display so you can see Presenter icons and messages. If you are using your own RCA cable to connect to a display, the S-video to RCA adapter connects your RCA cable to the controller so you can see PowerCam Presenter icons and messages on the screen. In a configuration where you are not using a VSX video conferencing system, the male RCA to female S-video adapter connects the camera cable to the camera. In a configuration where you are using a VSX video conferencing system, the male RCA to female S-video adapter connects the S-video cable to the camera. In a configuration where you are using a VSX video conferencing system, the S-video gender changer adapter connects the two camera cables. The rack mount ears and screws enable you to mount the controller in a rack. For information on how to do this, refer to the Administrators Guide for the VSX Series, available at www.polycom.com/videodocumentation. The rubber feet insert into the holes in the bottom of the controller. Use the rubber feet only if you choose to place the controller on a desk or table rather than to rack mount it.

You may also add optional components to your PowerCam Presenter. For example, you can add: A Polycom VSX video conferencing system A (non-VSX) video conferencing system A VCR or DVD player A display
If you connect the PowerCam Presenter to a Polycom VSX system, the PowerCam Presenter camera can be the main or auxiliary camera, and you can continue to use the automatic camera tracking functionality. The PowerCam camera will also work with any other video conferencing equipment that accepts a standard NTSC or PAL video signal as input; however, it cannot be controlled from that other equipment (for example, you will not be able to pan, tilt, or zoom the camera). For information about purchasing optional equipment, please contact your Polycom distributor.

Key Features

This section lists the key features of the Polycom PowerCam Presenter.

Ease of Use

Fluid camera movement that follows the presenter's walking speed and smoothly stops moving when the presenter stops walking. The presenter can be spontaneous and focus on the task at hand instead of focusing on how to manually control the camera. The remote control enables the presenter to quickly and efficiently use camera tracking without having to learn new user interfaces. Automatically zooms in and out as the presenter walks close to or away from the camera. Customizable automatic camera tracking views (for example, track to the left or right of the presenter to leave space for a whiteboard). Stores up to two camera presets. The locator can be clipped onto a shirt or pocket or can be used with the provided lanyard. Ideal for all school levels, corporate and government training, lectures, boardrooms, legal environments, and medical education.

Setting Host Name Description Specifies the systems DNS name. Changing this setting causes the system to restart. IP Address Specifies how the system obtains an IP address: Select Obtain IP address automatically if you want the system to get an IP address from the DHCP server on the LAN. Select Enter IP address manually if you do not want the IP address to be assigned automatically. Changing this setting causes the system to restart. Your IP Address is or Use the Following IP Address If you selected Obtain IP address automatically, this field displays the IP address currently assigned to the system. If you selected Enter IP address manually, enter the IP address here. Changing this setting causes the system to restart. Domain Name Displays the domain name currently assigned to the system. If the system does not automatically obtain a domain name, enter one here. DNS Servers Displays the DNS servers currently assigned to the system. If the system does not automatically obtain a DNS server address, enter up to two DNS servers here. Changing this setting causes the system to restart. Default Gateway Displays the gateway currently assigned to the system. If the system does not automatically obtain a gateway IP address, enter one here. Changing this setting causes the system to restart.

Setting Subnet Mask

Description Displays the subnet mask currently assigned to the system. If the system does not automatically obtain a subnet mask, enter one here. Changing this setting causes the system to restart.

WINS Server

Displays the WINS server currently assigned to the system. If the system does not automatically obtain a WINS server IP address, enter one here. Changing this setting causes the system to restart.
WINS Resolution LAN Speed
Specifies whether to send a request to the WINS server for WINS name resolution. Specifies the LAN speed to use. Select Auto if you want the network switch to negotiate the speed automatically; otherwise, select either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps. Note: Be sure that the LAN Speed setting for the PowerCam Presenter and for the switch are the same. Typically, selecting Auto for both is sufficient. Polycom recommends that you do not select Auto for either just the PowerCam Presenter or just the switch; the settings for both must exactly match. Changing this setting causes the system to restart.

Duplex Mode

Specifies the Duplex Mode to use. Select Auto if you want the network switch to negotiate the Duplex Mode automatically; otherwise, select either Full or Half. Note: Be sure that the Duplex Mode you choose is supported by the switch.
Configuring Video Output Settings
The Video Output Settings screen lets you specify the video output signal from connector on the PowerCam Presenter controller. To configure the video output settings: 1. Press Menu on the remote control. 2. Select Video Output Settings from the PowerCam Presenter screen.

Remember that these settings are merely guidelines, and that you can set and change the Presenter View buttons to whatever you need.
Enabling and Disabling Automatic Zooming
When you use automatic camera tracking, you typically want the camera to automatically zoom in and out on the presenter. At other times, however, you may want a fixed zoom so that the zoom remains the same whether the presenter moves closer to or away from the camera. In such cases, you can disable automatic zooming. To enable and disable automatic zooming: Press Auto Zoom on the remote control. If automatic zooming was enabled, it becomes disabled; if it was disabled, it becomes enabled. The message Auto zoom is ON or Auto zoom is OFF momentarily appears on the screen to let you know whether automatic zooming is enabled or disabled.
Note If the camera does not accurately frame the presenter when automatically zooming, you may need to calibrate the camera or adjust the framing. For more information, refer to the The camera is not accurately framing you symptom on page 3-6.

Place the camera so that: It is no more than 50 feet (15 meters) and no closer than 5 feet (1 meters) from the person wearing the locator pack assembly. It is about 6 feet to 7 feet (2 meters) above the floor, although higher will also work. The back of the camera is at least 1 foot ( meter) away from the wall. If you add acoustic foam on the wall, you can place the camera slightly closer than 1 foot ( meter) from the wall. The head of the camera points no more than 25 degrees above or below the camera base when it is tracking the person wearing the locator. Plus or minus 25 degrees of tilt is the mechanical limit of the camera.

+ or -1 at 50 feet (15 meters) When the person wearing the locator pack assembly remains within 40 feet (12 meters) from the camera, the camera automatically adjusts the zoom to keep the person framed in approximately the same way no matter where the person is in that range. Within 40 feet (12 meters) to 50 feet (15 meters), the camera will not automatically change the zoom setting.
Ability to stay on target
The camera stays locked onto the person wearing the locator pack assembly if: The locator has a direct line of sight to the camera. The person wearing the locator is facing within 45 of the camera. If the person faces more than 45 from the camera, the camera will still likely stay on target. The closer the person is to the camera, the more likely it is the camera will stay on target. The locator is at least 2 feet ( meter) from obstructions like a wall, monitor, table, or floor.

Smoothness and quickness

When the person wearing the locator pack assembly moves around a little, but still stays within the camera view, the camera does not move. This prevents unnecessary jitter in the camera position. When the person stops moving, the camera comes to rest pointing at the person within two seconds. When the person moves outside of the anti-jitter frame, the camera starts moving within 500 ms.
Troubleshooting the System
The following tables lists some common power, hardware, and camera movement problems and the steps you can take to resolve them.
