Conference Software Standalone Automatic Camera Control

Description

DCN‑SWSACC Standalone Automatic Camera Control of the DCN Conference systems interfaces with the Bosch Allegiant or Autodome. It selects fixed or movable cameras to be activated to display the current active speaker at a conference.

When a chairman or delegate microphone is activated on the DCN Conference system equipment the camera assigned to that position is activated. When none of the microphones are active an overview camera is automatically selected. The image can be displayed on projectors or other screens together with information about the current speaker if required (such as delegate identification). The system operator has a dedicated screen which also displays information about which camera is active. This system provides an extra dimension to conference proceedings.

The DCN‑SWSACC software runs on a PC which is temporarily connected to configure the DCN Next Generation or DCN Wireless Discussion System and the Bosch Allegiant or Autodome.

With this PC the camera positions can be defined using the on-screen Pan Tilt and Zoom control and stored as prepositions in the Autodome camera. At the same time a delegate position is linked to a camera preposition.

When all delegate positions are linked to camera prepositions the configuration needs to be uploaded to the DCN Conference system where it will be stored persistent in the CCU.

The configuration file can be printed and stored on the temporarily PC for later use. In case help or more information is needed the on‑screen help can be activated from the software.

After configuration the PC is removed and Bosch Allegiant or Autodome is directly connected to the DCN Conference system.
